History
BREWVANA was founded by Ashley Rose Salvitti out of her love and passion for Portland and all things craft beer. As a transplant from the east coast and a local beer server, she found herself playing tour guide for friends and family that came to visit. She realized it was an overwhelming task to decide where to go with so many choices and decided to create a brewery tour experience that highlighted the immense selection in a way that was approachable, educational and FUN for guests. By working with her friends in the brewing industry and using her service experience in the industry she created the ULTIMATE experience, and BREWVANA was born. Our first tour was on April 8, 2010 and we have been growing and evolving ever since. We have introduced over 4,000 guests from all over the world to the craft brewing industry in Portland by experiencing BREWVANA! We have recently been named best drinking tour in the US by Yahoo and been featured on CNN.
