Providing Winery and Brewery Tour Transportation Since 2011
It's no secret that the Santa Barbara winery scene is a major draw for locals and visitors alike. That's why we've been providing reliable transportation for winery and brewery tours across the region since 2011. From the Santa Ynez Valley Wine Country to the Funk Zone, we've helped countless groups experience the best of the area without worrying about how they'll get home.
One of the most popular destinations for tours is Sunstone Vineyards & Winery (125 N Refugio Rd, Santa Ynez, CA 93460). This picturesque estate is a favorite for its organic wines and stunning limestone barrel-aging caves. However, navigating the narrow Refugio Road and finding parking for multiple vehicles can be a headache. Your driver will drop your group off right at the main tasting room entrance and handle all the parking logistics while you enjoy your visit.
Another top stop is Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. (45 Industrial Way, Buellton, CA 93427), a staple on the Santa Barbara craft beer scene. The Buellton taproom is located in an industrial park with limited street parking, especially during peak hours. With a private bus, your group can hop right off at the front door ready to sample their signature brews without a single parking-related stress.
Bus Options Perfect for Any Winery and Brewery Tour Transportation Need in Santa Barbara
It's easy to find the right vehicle for your group when you choose Santa Barbara Charter Bus Rentals. From sprinter vans that are perfect for small-group tastings to full-size coaches for large events, we offer a wide range of vehicles to fit any headcount or itinerary. Every vehicle comes with comfortable seating, air conditioning, and a driver who knows the region's roads-so your group can relax and enjoy the scenery between stops.
If you're planning a corporate retreat or special event, ask about our minibus options, which seat anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers and are ideal for moving larger groups through vineyard trails and urban tasting rooms alike. You'll get modern amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats-plus the peace of mind that comes from working with one of Santa Barbara's most trusted transportation providers.

Explore the Santa Ynez Valley with a Private Driver
While the Santa Barbara region is known for its beautiful coastal views, did you know that it's also a major wine destination? Just a short drive over the mountains will bring you to the Santa Ynez Valley, where you can explore charming small towns like Solvang, CA. We've coordinated hundreds of winery tours and know that the last thing you want to worry about is who will be the designated driver. Instead, let us handle the roads while you enjoy your adventure! You can plan a custom tour to popular wineries like Sunstone Vineyards & Winery (125 Refugio Rd, Santa Ynez, CA 93460) and Rideau Vineyard (1564 Alamo Pintado Rd, Solvang, CA 93463), or hit up local favorites like Fess Parker Winery (6200 Foxen Canyon Rd, Los Olivos, CA 93441). With a private shuttle bus and driver, you can skip the rideshare apps and focus on making memories with your friends.
Charter Buses for Brewery Tours in Santa Barbara
While Santa Barbara is known for its wine, the craft beer scene here is just as impressive. The Lagerville and Buellton Brew Bus make it easy to explore local breweries, but a private shuttle lets your group enjoy a more personalized experience. You can visit popular spots like Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. Buellton Taproom (45 Industrial Way, Buellton, CA 93001) and Captain Fatty's Brewery (6489 Calle Real, Goleta, CA 93117) without worrying about who will drive home.
During the Draughtsmen Aleworks annual anniversary celebration, the taproom is packed, and parking is limited. With a brewery tour shuttle, your group can be dropped off right at the entrance and picked up when you're ready. It's the best way to enjoy the brewery hopping experience to the fullest.
Charter Buses for Wedding and Bachelorette Parties in Santa Barbara
If you're planning a wedding or bachelorette party in Santa Barbara, a charter bus rental is the best way to keep everyone together and on schedule. Many groups make their first stop at the Santa Barbara Public Market (38 W Victoria St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101) for a casual lunch or dinner, then head to the waterfront for drinks at places like Deep Sea Tasting Room (210 Stearns Wharf, Santa Barbara, CA 93101). We also frequently shuttle bridal parties between hotels and the ceremony venue-for example, getting your guests from the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort ballroom to a late-night send-off at Shalhoob's patio.
Because downtown parking is limited and expensive-with garages near State Street charging $3-$18 daily and street meters requiring constant monitoring-a private bus lets your group bypass the hassle completely. Your driver will handle all the logistics while you focus on celebrating with your friends and family.
Charter Buses for Wine Festivals and Beer Festivals Across California
Wine and beer festivals in Santa Barbara County draw crowds from all over California, and getting there shouldn’t be the hardest part of your day. Santa Barbara Charter Bus Rentals keeps your group together, whether you’re heading to the Santa Barbara Vintners Festival at Vega Vineyard & Farm (9496 Santa Rosa Rd, Buellton) or the California Brew Fest at Chase Palm Park (323 E Cabrillo Blvd, Santa Barbara). Parking fills up fast at both venues—especially along Santa Rosa Road and Cabrillo Boulevard—so arriving by charter bus means no circling for spots or splitting up into rideshares. Your driver handles the drop-off and pickup right at the main entrance, so you can focus on tastings instead of traffic. Call 805-951-1270 to book a ride that fits your festival plans, no matter how many friends you bring.
