Providing Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, Party Bus Pasedena has handled winery, brewery, and distillery tour transportation for groups of every size across the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles area. We know how quickly a tasting afternoon turns into a multi-stop evening once you factor in the 210 Freeway ramp backups on a Friday and the packed parking at spots along Miramar Street in San Marino or in Old Town Pasadena itself. Over more than a decade of running these trips, we have matched hundreds of tasting groups with the right vehicle — whether that is a compact minibus for eight friends hitting three brewpubs or a full charter bus for a corporate group heading out to Temecula wine country.
One call, one quote, one flat rate.
What Booking Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation With Party Bus Pasedena Looks Like
Bus Options Perfect for Any Winery or Brewery Tour in Pasadena, California
Not every tasting group is the same size or has the same plan, and that is exactly why we offer a wide range of vehicles. A Sprinter van handles six to fourteen guests comfortably for a close-in crawl through Pasadena's taprooms and stays nimble enough to park near narrow craft-brewery lots. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit for mid-size groups making a day of it in the Temecula Valley — reclining seats, powerful A/C for the inland heat, and enough overhead storage for jackets and tote bags.
For larger wine country excursions or corporate tasting events, a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus provides undercarriage luggage storage and an onboard restroom, so the 90-minute run down the I-15 to Temecula stays comfortable for everyone. We offer a massive variety of vehicles, meaning you never have to pay for seats you do not actually need.

Pasadena Taproom Crawls: The Smartest Way to Hit Old Town and Beyond
Pasadena's craft beer scene is more concentrated than most visitors expect. Craftsman Brewing Company (7997 N San Gabriel Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107) has been anchoring the local scene since 1995, and spots like Boneyard Brew Farm (822 N Lake Ave) and Three Rings Brewery (65 W Dayton St) give your group enough variety for a full afternoon without leaving the city. The problem is street parking on Colorado Boulevard and Lake Avenue on weekend afternoons — metered spots fill fast, and circling between each stop burns through time and energy your group could spend tasting.
A Pasadena party bus rental solves this cleanly: one pickup location, curbside drop at each taproom, and a single flat rate instead of three separate Uber surges after dark. Your group walks out of the last stop and the bus is already there. Call 747-737-2460 to lock in your date.
Temecula Wine Country Day Trips From Pasadena
Temecula Valley Wine Country sits roughly 80 miles southeast of Pasadena via the I-210 to the I-15, and that drive is exactly where the logistics get complicated. The I-15 through the Cajon Pass and into Riverside County carries serious freight traffic on weekdays, and weekend afternoon southbound returns from Temecula see consistent slowdowns around Murrieta. Factor in finding a designated driver for a group that wants to taste at Leonesse Cellars (38311 De Portola Rd), South Coast Winery (34843 Rancho California Rd), and Wilson Creek Winery (35960 Rancho California Rd) in one afternoon, and you have a real coordination problem.
A charter bus rental from Pasadena to Temecula takes every one of those variables off your plate: the route is handled, everyone participates in every tasting, and the I-15 stop-and-go on the way home is someone else's concern. Call 747-737-2460 for a quote on the full round-trip.
Craft Spirits and Distillery Tours Near Pasadena
Southern California's craft distillery scene has grown steadily over the past several years, and a handful of operations within easy reach of Pasadena are worth building a tour around. Lost Spirits Distillery at the L.A. Grand Hotel (333 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90071) runs immersive theatrical tours that regularly sell out weeks in advance. Over in the San Fernando Valley, Ventura Spirits (250 Palm Ave, Ventura, CA 93001) produces award-winning brandies and whiskies from California-grown fruit and grain.
For groups that want to stay closer to home, the drive to these spots on the 134 or 110 during a weekend afternoon is manageable — but after a spirits tasting, getting everyone home safely requires a plan. A Pasadena minibus rental keeps the itinerary intact and the return trip stress-free. Call 747-737-2460 to discuss your distillery tour routing.
Wine, Beer & Spirits Festivals in the Pasadena Area
The Rose Bowl hosts a rotating calendar of large-scale food and beverage events, and the Pasadena Convention Center (300 E Green St, Pasadena, CA 91101) draws serious attendance for events like the Los Angeles Wine & Spirits Fest and various craft beer showcases throughout the year. When thousands of attendees converge on a single venue, metered parking in Old Town fills within the first hour and the 210 Freeway on-ramps slow considerably. The California Craft Beer Summit, typically held in Sacramento but drawing attendance from across the state, also prompts Pasadena-area groups to coordinate long-distance transportation.
For festival groups of 15 or more, a single charter bus rental in Pasadena takes care of the parking problem entirely — your group arrives together, leaves together, and the surging rideshare queue after closing is someone else's problem. Book well ahead of any major festival date; weekend demand for the right vehicle size fills up fast. Call 747-737-2460 as soon as your festival date is confirmed.
Custom Winery and Brewery Tour Itineraries Built Around Your Group
The most memorable tasting trips are the ones that do not follow a stock route. Maybe your group wants to start at a Pasadena taproom, add an Azusa Canyon vineyard visit, and finish at a rooftop bar in Old Town. Maybe it is a bachelorette group that wants the San Antonio Winery (737 Lamar St, Los Angeles, CA 90031) — the oldest operating winery in Los Angeles, founded in 1917 — followed by a stop at a Boyle Heights taqueria before heading back to the Pasadena hotel.
We build the itinerary around your stops, your timing, and your headcount. Tell us the venues and the approximate order; we will confirm the routing, let you know about any approach or parking constraints at each stop, and quote you a flat all-inclusive rate. Call 747-737-2460 any time — our reservation team is available 24/7/365 and can have a custom quote ready in under 30 seconds.

Client Reviews of Our Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation in Pasadena
Did a wine tasting day with friends and the bus made it perfect. We could relax and enjoy ourselves between stops without anyone worrying about driving. Comfortable seats, room to stretch out, and a fun atmosphere the whole way. They helped us map out the timing and pickup was right on the dot. Best way to spend a day exploring around Pasadena.

Organized a pub crawl for my buddy's birthday and the bus was the MVP. We hopped between spots, kept the music going on the bus, and never had to think about getting around or staying safe. Loads of room and a great vibe inside. Booking it was simple and they were patient sorting out our route. Everyone said it was the best crawl we have done.

Took a girls' day out tasting wine and the bus tied it all together beautifully. Between stops we lounged in comfort, laughed, and let someone else handle the road. The interior was clean and roomy and the ride was smooth. They were great about helping us plan the order of our stops around Pasadena. Truly a stress-free and memorable day.

We booked the bus for a brewery hop and it was a fantastic call. Plenty of space, good music, and total peace of mind moving from place to place. The whole group could relax and enjoy the day instead of one person sitting out to drive. Setting up the reservation was quick and the timing they gave us was right on. Already planning the next one.
Frequently Asked Questions About our Pasadena Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services
How far in advance should I book a party bus for a winery or brewery tour in Pasadena?
We recommend booking at least three to four weeks ahead for a standard weekend tasting tour. If your outing falls during a major Rose Bowl event weekend, a Pasadena Food & Wine fundraiser, or any Saturday in spring when bachelorette and graduation groups are heavy, lock in your vehicle as soon as your date is confirmed. The right-size minibuses and party buses for groups of 15 to 30 go first.
Call 747-737-2460 to check availability for your date right now.
Can we add stops or change the itinerary after we book?
Yes — itinerary adjustments are common on tasting tours, and our reservation team can accommodate reasonable changes to your stop list before your trip date. On the day of the tour, the group coordinator can communicate directly with our dispatch team if timing shifts. Build a little cushion into your stop schedule; wineries and taprooms often run slower on busy weekend afternoons than guests expect, and that extra 20 minutes at one venue can cascade through the rest of the day.
What vehicle size is right for a group of 12 people doing a Temecula wine tour?
For 12 guests heading to Temecula, a 15-passenger minibus is the cleanest fit — everyone rides together, there is room for wine purchases and tote bags in the overhead storage, and the vehicle is manageable on the narrower roads around Rancho California Road's winery corridor. A Sprinter van works for groups of 10 or fewer. If your headcount is firm at 12, the minibus gives you comfortable seat spacing without paying for a larger vehicle you do not need.
Call 747-737-2460 for an exact quote.
Can the bus wait for us at each winery or brewery stop?
Yes. The vehicle is reserved as a block of hours, so it waits nearby at each stop and is ready when your group is done tasting. This is especially useful on a multi-stop Temecula run where driving between wineries along De Portola Road is part of the experience — your group finishes at one estate, everyone loads up, and the bus moves to the next without anyone searching for parking.
Coordinate your estimated time at each stop with our team when you book and we will build the schedule around it.
Are there wineries or breweries within walking distance of an Old Town Pasadena drop-off?
Old Town Pasadena has a few craft beverage spots within the walkable Colorado Boulevard corridor, and spots like Three Rings Brewery on Dayton Street are easy on foot from a bus drop near the Del Mar station area. For a fuller winery experience, you will want to head out of the city — the Temecula Valley and the Santa Barbara wine country (about two hours northwest) are the two most popular day-trip destinations from Pasadena. We can build a hybrid itinerary that starts in Old Town and ends in wine country.
Call 747-737-2460 to sketch out the route.
How is pricing structured for a Pasadena winery tour bus rental?
Pricing is based on vehicle size, total hours reserved, and mileage for the route. A Sprinter van for a short local taproom crawl will run less than a full charter bus for an all-day Temecula trip. All quotes are all-inclusive — you will see the exact number before you book, with no surprises.
For a general range: minibuses typically run $150–$300 per hour depending on date and vehicle; full charter buses are quoted on a daily or hourly basis for longer runs. Use our online tool or call 747-737-2460 for a quote built around your specific itinerary in under 30 seconds.
