Charter bus service across Napa & Sonoma

Wine country group work comes in three kinds. Tasting days run up Highway 29 and the Silverado Trail in Napa, or through the Russian River, Dry Creek and Alexander valleys in Sonoma. Weddings fill vineyard estates and inns from Carneros to Healdsburg most weekends from spring through fall. Meetings and incentive groups stay at resorts such as Silverado, the Meritage and the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and move to dinners and private tastings in the evening.

Tastings at most wineries are by appointment, and many estates limit or refuse large vehicles, so the itinerary and the vehicle are planned together. Most groups arrive from San Francisco, the East Bay or Sacramento, which puts Highway 37, Highway 12 and Highway 29 traffic into every schedule. Every operator holds California charter-party carrier authority (CPUC TCP), and student trips are matched only to SPAB-certified buses and drivers when flagged at booking.

We serve Napa and Sonoma counties — from Napa, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg and St. Helena to airport runs at STS, SFO and OAK.

Charter bus rental in Napa & Sonoma — FAQ

How much does a charter bus cost in Napa and Sonoma?

A full-size motorcoach generally runs about $1,900 to $2,750 for a full day, and hourly work starts around $190 per hour against a five hour minimum. Minibuses run about $150 to $215 per hour and sprinter vans $130 to $195 per hour on a four hour minimum. A typical wine day lands between $1,150 and $2,200.

Can a full-size bus visit any winery?

No. Many wineries limit the size of vehicles they accept or require groups to book in advance, and some narrow estate drives cannot take a 45 foot coach. Send the winery list and the operator matches the vehicle to the tightest stop.

Do we need tasting reservations?

Almost always. Most Napa and many Sonoma wineries host guests by appointment, especially groups. Book the tastings first, then the vehicle.

Which airport should our group use?

Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport (STS) is closest for Sonoma. Most groups fly into SFO or Oakland, about 60 to 90 minutes away, or Sacramento for the east side of Napa.

Can you pick us up in San Francisco?

Yes. San Francisco and East Bay pickups for a wine day are common. Budget 60 to 90 minutes each way depending on Highway 37 and Highway 29 traffic.

Is alcohol allowed on board?

It depends on the operator's policy and California rules for chartered vehicles, and never on trips carrying students. Ask at booking.

How far ahead should we book?

Four to six weeks for harvest season from August through October, BottleRock weekend and summer wedding Saturdays. Two to three weeks is usually enough in winter.

Do you cover both Napa and Sonoma?

Yes, from Carneros, Napa and Yountville to St. Helena and Calistoga, and from Sonoma and Glen Ellen to Santa Rosa, Healdsburg and the Russian River.

Is gratuity included?

Yes. Pricing is flat and all-in, covering driver, fuel, standard mileage and tolls, with no separate gratuity line.
