Tour Operator

Southern Culinary Tours, formerly Southern Beer Tours, began in November 2013. The founders, Justin Hall and Jonathan Oliver, realized the Atlanta craft beer market was growing rapidly and they wanted to share the city’s enthusiasm for these brews with locals and visitors alike by simply tasting and enjoying them. On our brewery tours, we would take out anyone with a curiosity about craft beer to several breweries without lines or driving. As the company continued to grow, Justin Hall wanted to bring people closer to Atlanta’s other culinary treasures from shrimp and grits to craft cocktails. Just about 8 years later, Justin found the opportunity to bring in tours of Atlanta’s food and cocktails, and Southern Beer Tours became Southern Culinary Tours in December 2021.
