About this experience
BRAND NEW THIS SUMMER - Discover Banff beyond the postcard views on this guided Tasting Trail through the town’s hidden gems, local pubs, breweries, and cocktail spots. Part historical walking tour, part progressive tasting experience, this afternoon blends mountain history, storytelling, local legends, and plenty of laughs along the way. You’ll sip craft beers, cocktails, and local favourites while exploring the stories that shaped Banff... from colourful characters and legendary tales to the unique culture of this iconic mountain town. With delicious snacks included at select stops, it’s like a pub crawl… just with better stories, more flavour, and a LOT of personality. Educational enough to justify the indulgence. Fun enough to forget you’re technically learning.

What a great afternoon!!...
What a great afternoon!! Don’t think of this as a bar crawl… it was much more! Joanna designed an amazing, truly unique tour for us. At each stop, Joanna had planned a particular tasting that provided the backdrop to relevant stories about Banff. Each and every wonderful drink was thoughtfully connected to Banff in a unique and meaningful way (and the food we tasted along with it was delicious as well). In addition to the food and drink, we had a couple of other stops on our walking tour that added to our appreciation of Banff… including an iconic photo stop! We learned that, although Joanna has offered many other food tours and has introduced elements of what we experienced, this particular tour was brand new to her offerings. We think it was an absolute winner!! One word of friendly caution: the “tipsy” in the title is a well-earned adjective…be prepared for 6 drinks (I’m counting the beer tasting as one of them) in 3 hours.
Response from the operator: Thanks for being my first guests on the Tipsy Tasting Trail! It was so fabulous being able to launch it with you - and I think we did well, despite the power outages, the construction and the craziness of the World Cup! It all worked out so well in the end! Thank you again, and enjoy the rest of your vacation!

The Banff Tipsy Tasting Trail: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Banff.
How much does The Banff Tipsy Tasting Trail cost?
+
Prices start at $164 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Banff usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does The Banff Tipsy Tasting Trail take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Banff is not rushed.
Is The Banff Tipsy Tasting Trail worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Banff, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule The Banff Tipsy Tasting Trail?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is The Banff Tipsy Tasting Trail suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book The Banff Tipsy Tasting Trail?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Banff can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Banff and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Banff Tipsy Tasting Trail start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Banff within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Banff?
+
On Outty we rank every Banff experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and the Icefields Parkway Full-Day Tour, Hop-On and Hop-Off Banff Bus, ShuttleBus 2way Banff to Lake Louise (1Hr) and Moraine Lake (1Hr). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Banff?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Banff?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
