Description
Asheville is known for Beer and Nature! We combine the two. This is a fun trip to bar hop by raft. We will casually float down river and stop 3 times some local bars and breweries. I will have a cooler with ice and you are welcome to bring your own beverages along. This tour follows along the river and requires climbing up some muddy river banks and descending stairs. We will relax and enjoy cold beverages and river views. We will stop at The Wedge Brewery at the Foundation and grab some food from the food truck. We will end at New Belgium Brewery. I recommend parking at Hominy Creek River Park and then taking a ride share to retrieve your vehicle when you are safe to drive. You can leave your vehicle overnight there if you need to. We will meet you by the stairs to the river. Other things to note: Must be comfortable with water. Kids at least 15 can accompany their parents but obviously will not be able to consume alcohol. Gratuity for the guide is appreciated.

When can we come back!
Excellent adventure. Great ride, amazing breweries, and each stop was worth the visit. Our guide was perfect for our team (riders from all across the States). Highly recommended! Can't wait to get back to ride the river again (a number of our team members mentioned wanting to return for a pleasure trip)!

Floating fun!
Such a fun time!! Peaceful float down the French Broad with our tour guide, Levi! Enjoyed seeing a little wildlife , getting a little breeze here and there and of course; the beer/cocktails along the way. Highly recommend this - especially the afternoon tour so you catch the sunset at the end.

Great day doing the bar crawl float
We had a great day. There was only one other couple with us Damon and his mom Maryann. They were the nicest people. Our guide was Tim. He was fabulous. We said it was a little like being on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland with all the bad jokes. I highly recommend this if you’re in Asheville.

Cedar Rock Adventures Bar Crawl
Had an amazing afternoon with Cedar Rock Adventures Bar Crawl! We visited three great bars, enjoyed tasty drinks and food, and our guide Walker made the whole experience even more fun. Asheville is full of warm, welcoming people sharing good vibes as they rebuild their community—this crawl is a fantastic way to soak it all in. Highly recommend!
E
Unique outdoor experience!
This was such a fun and unique outdoor experience. The raft ride was comfortable and relaxing and a great way to visit different Asheville breweries. Our guide Tim was super friendly and full of corny jokes to make us laugh. A fabulous experience!
