Why Limit Yourself to One Fleet? Compare Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation From a Network of Bus Companies
You're never limited to one fleet or whatever a single company happens to have available when you use Minneapoliscoachbuscompany.com! Because this is a quote-comparison and referral website — not a local bus company — you get access to a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Minneapolis and the surrounding region. That means you can compare sprinter vans for an intimate group of eight heading to Cannon River Winery (421 Mill St W, Cannon Falls, MN 55009), party buses loaded with a built-in bar and LED lighting for a bachelorette wine crawl, minibuses for a mid-size group heading out US-212 to Waconia wine country, and full-size charter buses for large corporate wine events — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account required!

Compare Buses, Packages, and Prices for Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation All in One Place!
If you're planning a bachelorette party wine tour through the Twin Cities region, a 15- to 50-passenger party bus is your best move — a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and wraparound perimeter seating mean the celebration starts the moment everyone boards, long before the first pour. If your group is smaller and more intimate, a sprinter van gets eight to fourteen people out to Saint Croix Vineyards (6428 Manning Ave N, Stillwater, MN 55082) in comfort without the overhead of a larger vehicle. Heading all the way out to Carlos Creek Winery (6693 County Rd 34 NW, Alexandria, MN 56308) for the Grape Stomp Festival — 130 miles northwest on I-94?
A full-size charter bus with reclining seats, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays makes that drive easy. Whatever your group size and destination, you'll find the right bus here!

Skip the Designated Driver Drama on Your Minneapolis Wine Tour
Minneapoliscoachbuscompany.com can take the single biggest headache of a Minnesota wine tour completely off your plate! According to the INRIX Traffic Scorecard, Minneapolis drivers lose roughly 54 hours a year to congestion — and the weekend afternoon return traffic on US-61 from Hastings or on I-94 heading back from Stillwater can add 15 to 30 minutes on top of that. When your group is splitting a second bottle of Frontenac at Alexis Bailly Vineyard (7609 Nininger Rd, Hastings, MN 55033), the last thing anyone wants to think about is who's staying sober to navigate I-35W through downtown.
One bus, one pickup, one drop-off, and nobody sacrifices the afternoon to be the designated driver. Compare wine tour buses from a network of providers serving Minneapolis and find exactly what you need!
Waconia Wine Country Day Trips Made Easy From Minneapolis
For quick and easy access to two of Minnesota's most popular wineries in one day, the Waconia wine country corridor along US-212 is the move — and a charter bus or minibus makes the whole thing seamless! Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery (8785 Airport Rd, Waconia, MN 55387) sits on 37 acres with a full winery and brewery under one roof, open Wednesday through Sunday. Parley Lake Winery (8280 Parley Lake Rd, Waconia, MN 55387) is just minutes away with scenic vineyard views and seasonal tastings.
Groups regularly pair both stops on a single day trip, about 35 miles west of Minneapolis. Your bus handles the US-212 drive both ways so every passenger gets to taste — no one is stuck watching the clock. Find your Waconia wine tour bus through Minneapoliscoachbuscompany.com in seconds!
A full bus needs more than a casual pull-in at Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery: bus, limo, and large-party visits without a scheduled Group Visit require approval before arrival, and available space depends on seasonality. Your bus reaches Waconia as a planned stop instead of risking a turn-away at the tasting room; the Schram Vineyards bus and large-party policy has the current arrival rule.
Northeast Minneapolis Brewery Crawls Paired With Your Wine Tour
Getting the most out of a Minneapolis wine and craft beer day is easy when your bus handles every stop on the itinerary! Northeast Minneapolis is home to some of the best taprooms in the state — Indeed Brewing Company (711 NE 15th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55413), Bauhaus Brew Labs (1315 Tyler St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413), and Dangerous Man Brewing (1300 2nd St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413) are all within blocks of each other. Pair a Northeast brewery crawl with a vineyard run out to WineHaven Winery (9757 292nd St, Chisago City, MN 55013) about 40 miles north on I-35, and a party bus keeps the whole group together from the first pint to the last pour.
You set the stops and the timing — your bus handles everything else!
Plan a Stillwater Wine Tour Day Trip From Minneapolis
With Minneapoliscoachbuscompany.com, you can put together a Stillwater wine tour day trip in minutes! Saint Croix Vineyards sits about 25 miles east of Minneapolis via I-94 and MN-36, with year-round tasting room hours and vineyard views that make the drive worth every mile. Stillwater's charming downtown adds easy walking stops between tastings, and the St. Croix River bluffs give the whole day a completely different feel from a city night out.
Weekend I-94 traffic heading back into the metro can run slow, especially on summer Sundays — so your group rides back in a comfortable, climate-controlled bus instead of crawling home in separate cars. Compare minibuses, party buses, and sprinter vans for your Stillwater wine tour from a network of providers serving Minneapolis — call 320-462-1180 to get started!
Carlos Creek Grape Stomp Festival Bus Rentals From Minneapolis
Booking a charter bus to Carlos Creek Winery for the Grape Stomp Festival is one of the smartest moves a large group can make! The festival draws huge crowds every September to one of Minnesota's largest wineries, 130 miles northwest of Minneapolis on I-94 — that's roughly a two-hour drive each way. A full-size 40- to 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays turns that drive into part of the experience instead of a chore.
One flat, predictable rate covers the whole group both ways, and nobody has to coordinate a caravan of cars across two hours of I-94. Grape Stomp weekend books out fast, so the earlier you compare options through Minneapoliscoachbuscompany.com, the better your selection!
The 2026 Grape Stomp at Carlos Creek Winery runs September 18-20, 2026, with Friday and Saturday restricted to guests 21 and older and Sunday open to all ages. Your bus keeps the whole festival weekend together from Minneapolis to Alexandria and back; the Carlos Creek Winery Grape Stomp 2026 schedule has the current dates and age rules.

A 15- to 50-passenger party bus is the most popular pick for bachelorette wine tours in Minneapolis. Party buses come with a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating — so the celebration is already in full swing by the time the bus pulls up to the first vineyard.

In most cases, yes! Under Minnesota Statute ยง169A.35, open container laws apply to the driver's compartment but not the passenger compartment of a hired charter vehicle. That said, policies vary by operator, so mention that you'd like to enjoy wine on board when you submit your quote request — Minneapoliscoachbuscompany.com will match you with providers that permit it.
Book at least four to six weeks out for most Minneapolis wine tour dates, and stretch that to three to six months for peak season. May through October is Minnesota's busiest outdoor wine tour window, and September Grape Stomp Festival weekends at Carlos Creek Winery book out especially fast. Bachelorette and birthday party buses fill quickly in summer, and prom season in April and May tightens availability across the metro.
The earlier you compare, the more options you'll have!
