- Check out Whistler’s three craft breweries – Coast Mountain Brewing, The Whistler Brewing Co and The BrewHouse
- Play a round at one of four incredible golf courses, each with a delightful patio to end the day
- Try one of Whistler’s exciting summer outdoor activities (beer tastes better with a dash of adventure)
- See Whistler from a new perspective with the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, then have beer with a view on the mountain!
- Whistler’s patios are perfect for people watching - pull up a chair and watch the world go by
- Take your appetite to one of Whistler’s restaurants for a feast
- Need to rest and recover after a hard day’s tasting? Whistler’s lakes, beaches and spas are the answer
