Browse Party Buses, Minibuses, and Charter Buses for Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation
We know that no two wine tours from Santa Monica look the same — and the bus you need for a canyon road run to Cornell Winery is very different from the one that works for a 100-mile motorcoach trip to Los Olivos. That is exactly why comparing across a network matters so much! For tight Mulholland Highway routes to spots like Cornell Winery & Restaurant (29975 Mulholland Hwy, Agoura Hills, CA 91301) and Triunfo Creek Vineyards (2883 Mulholland Hwy, Calabasas, CA 91302), minibuses under 30 feet are strongly recommended — the sharp curves and narrow road simply do not suit a full-size coach.
For Santa Barbara or Temecula day trips, a 56-passenger motorcoach with onboard restrooms and undercarriage storage for your bottle purchases is the obvious call. You choose the bus that works for YOUR trip!

Santa Monica to Malibu Wine Corridor Bus Rentals
Santamonicacharterbusservices.com is here to make the PCH wine run the easy part of your day! Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Monica and Malibu is one of the most beautiful drives in California — and one of the most congested on a weekend afternoon. According to the INRIX 2024 Global Traffic Scorecard, Los Angeles is the most congested city in the United States, and PCH weekend northbound delays of 45 to 90 minutes for just 15 miles are common.
One bus handles the PCH crawl while your group relaxes, pre-games the first tasting, and arrives at Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate (18741 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265) or Malibu Wines Tasting Room (23130 Sherman Way, West Hills, CA 91307) together and on time. Compare minibuses and mid-size coaches for the Malibu corridor right here! For the current Malibu Wines & Beer Garden stop, valet is required Friday through Sunday at an $8 per-car rate, or $6 cash, and reservations are limited to 2.5 hours.
Parties larger than 40 guests use the venue's private-events process, so your bus can keep the tasting stop on a clean schedule instead of waiting on scattered arrivals.
Santa Barbara Wine Country Day Trip Buses From Santa Monica
Ready to make the 100-mile run up US-101 to Los Olivos, Solvang, and the Santa Ynez Valley? A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach is the right call for a Santa Barbara wine country day trip — onboard restrooms for the two-hour haul each way, undercarriage luggage bays for the bottles your group will inevitably buy, and reclining seats so everyone arrives refreshed instead of stiff. Friday afternoon northbound US-101 from Santa Monica adds 60 to 90 minutes versus off-peak, so a bus that handles the highway while your group starts the celebration early makes the whole trip better.
Ballard Canyon Road and Foxen Canyon Road are narrow, so your driver stages in Buellton or Solvang while you tour. Compare Santa Barbara day trip coaches from the network right now!
Canyon Road Wine Tours to Malibu Wine Safaris and Cornell Winery
Start the adventure before you even arrive — the Santa Monica Mountains wine run through Mulholland Highway is stunning, and it is also the route where vehicle size matters most. Malibu Wine Safaris (32111 Mulholland Hwy, Calabasas, CA 91302) and Cornell Winery & Restaurant sit on winding canyon roads with sharp curves and narrow lanes that full-size coaches simply cannot navigate safely. Minibuses under 30 feet are strongly recommended for any Mulholland Highway itinerary — and through the network, you can compare exactly those vehicles, with photos and pricing, side by side.
Malibu Wine Safaris requires advance group reservations, so lock in your bus at the same time you book the tasting. Call 424-428-1160 to put together your canyon wine tour package today!
Santa Monica Wine Bar Crawl Party Bus Rentals
Rather than splitting your group across three rideshares every time you move to the next stop, a party bus keeps everyone together from the first glass to the last! A Santa Monica wine bar crawl hitting Wally's Wine & Spirits (2107 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90403), then crossing into Venice for Primitivo Wine Bistro (1025 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291), and finishing anywhere your group decides is exactly what a 15- to 30-passenger party bus was built for. Tight Westside streets favor smaller vehicles — a minibus or party bus navigates Abbot Kinney and stages on side streets while you taste, then picks everyone up at the door.
Party buses come with a built-in bar, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound so the energy stays high between every stop. Compare party buses and minibuses for your Santa Monica wine crawl now!
Temecula Wine Country Charter Bus Rentals From Santa Monica
With one form, you can compare full-size motorcoaches for the 90-mile run southeast on I-10 to I-15 to Temecula wine country — one of Southern California's most popular group wine destinations and one of the most bus-friendly wine regions in the state. The Rancho California Road corridor through Temecula's wine country is wide enough for full-size coaches, and Old Town Front Street has bus staging areas for groups exploring between tastings. A 56-passenger motorcoach with onboard restrooms, reclining seats, WiFi, and undercarriage storage for your wine haul makes the Temecula run genuinely comfortable both ways.
The Temecula Wine & Balloon Festival typically falls in June and drives high demand for Temecula-area buses — book well in advance for that weekend. Enter your trip details now to see what is available for your Temecula date!

Minibuses under 30 feet are strongly recommended for any itinerary that uses Mulholland Highway through the Santa Monica Mountains. The road features sharp curves and narrow lanes that full-size coaches cannot safely navigate. For routes that stay on PCH or US-101, mid-size and full-size coaches are workable.
Mention your specific wine destinations when you fill out the quote form so the right vehicle options surface for your route.
Book at least four to six weeks out for most Santa Monica wine tour trips, and stretch that to three to four months for peak dates. The Malibu Wine & Food Festival in September, the Santa Barbara Vintners Festival in April, and the Temecula Wine & Balloon Festival in June all drive high demand across the Los Angeles bus market. Summer weekends on PCH and holiday weekends fill fast too — the earlier you book, the better your vehicle selection and pricing.
Yes — PCH itself is wide enough for mid-size and full-size coaches, and buses drop off at curbside on PCH at destinations like Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate. On-site parking at most Malibu tasting rooms is limited, so the bus typically stages at a nearby lot — like the Malibu Lagoon State Beach parking area (23200 PCH, Malibu) — and returns for pickup. Advance group reservations are required at most Malibu wineries, so book your bus and your tasting at the same time.
Pricing depends on the vehicle type, the distance, how many hours you need the bus, and the day of the week. A local Malibu PCH run in a minibus prices very differently from a full-day Santa Barbara motorcoach trip. The fastest way to see numbers for your specific itinerary is to fill out the online quote form — you will see pricing from a network of independent operators in under 30 seconds.

Absolutely — long-distance wine tours to Santa Barbara wine country, Los Olivos, Solvang, and the Santa Ynez Valley are a popular booking through the network. The run is approximately 100 miles via US-101, taking two to two-and-a-half hours off-peak. A full-size 56-passenger motorcoach with onboard restrooms and undercarriage storage for wine purchases is ideal for the haul.
Enter your Santa Barbara destination and date in the quote tool to compare available motorcoaches for your trip!
Yes — for an urban wine bar crawl through Santa Monica, Venice, and the Westside, a 15- to 30-passenger party bus is one of the best options. Party buses come with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and a Bluetooth sound system, keeping the energy up between every stop. Tight Westside streets like Abbot Kinney in Venice favor smaller vehicles that can stage on side streets between stops.
