Find exactly what your group needs — and nothing you don't — by comparing wine tour buses from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Santa Monica and the surrounding region. Busrentalsantamonica.com is not a bus company. It's a quote-comparison and referral website, which means you're never limited to whatever one fleet happens to have parked in its lot.

Sprinter vans for a tight-knit group heading up Mulholland Highway to Malibu Family Wines (31740 Mulholland Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265). Minibuses for a Santa Ynez Valley day trip. Full-size charter buses when the whole group is coming along.
You choose the bus that fits your group and your plans!
Find the Bus That Works for Your Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation
Busrentalsantamonica.com is ready to help you compare every bus type available through the network so your group travels in comfort, whatever the itinerary. Sprinter vans and 15-passenger minibuses are the right call for Malibu mountain winery routes — Mulholland Highway and Kanan Dume Road are narrow and winding, and a compact vehicle handles them far better than a full-size coach. For a larger group heading up US-101 to the Santa Ynez Valley or down I-15 to Temecula, 25- to 56-passenger charter buses provide reclining seats, overhead storage, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage bays for an overnight bag or two.
Party buses with built-in bars and LED lighting are available for groups who want the celebration to start before the first pour. Compare pictures, amenities, and pricing through one quick form!

Malibu Winery Tours Along PCH and Through the Santa Monica Mountains
With Busrentalsantamonica.com, you can compare buses perfectly sized for Malibu's winding wine roads — and skip the PCH parking nightmare entirely. The stretch of Pacific Coast Highway between Santa Monica and Malibu is one of the most congested roads in Los Angeles on any Friday evening or Saturday morning, and the pull-offs at tasting rooms like Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate (18741 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265) have almost no dedicated parking for groups arriving in multiple cars. A Sprinter van or 15-passenger minibus drops your group at the entrance and handles the staging, so nobody is circling PCH looking for a turnout.
For the mountain routes up to Malibu Family Wines at Saddlerock Ranch and Cielo Farms (29505 Mulholland Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265), a compact minibus is the practical choice — Mulholland Highway is narrow and winding, and a full-size coach is not the right tool for those turns. Compare available Sprinter vans and minibuses through the network and find what fits your group!
Santa Ynez Valley and Los Olivos Wine Country Day Trips from Santa Monica
Fill out one form to find a charter bus for the most popular wine country day trip from Santa Monica — two hours north on US-101 to the Santa Ynez Valley. The valley's tasting rooms span the Sta. Rita Hills AVA for world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the Santa Ynez Valley AVA for Rhône and Bordeaux varieties, and the walkable village of Los Olivos (Grand Ave, Los Olivos, CA 93441), where more than 20 tasting rooms sit within easy walking distance of a central bus drop on Grand Avenue.
Wineries like Foxen Winery (7200 Foxen Canyon Rd, Santa Maria, CA 93454), Fess Parker Winery (6200 Foxen Canyon Rd, Los Olivos, CA 93441), and Melville Vineyards (5185 E Highway 246, Lompoc, CA 93436) are all within easy reach on a full-day itinerary. A 25- to 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, WiFi, and undercarriage storage handles the 130-mile run from Santa Monica comfortably — and everyone gets to enjoy the drive instead of taking turns as the designated driver. Compare buses and pricing for Santa Ynez day trips right now!
Temecula Valley Wine Country Trips from Santa Monica
Fill as many seats as your group needs with a charter bus to Temecula Valley Wine Country — about 90 miles southeast of Santa Monica via I-10 East and I-15 South. Temecula's wine corridor runs along Rancho California Road, where major wineries including Ponte Winery (35053 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591), Wilson Creek Winery (35960 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591), and South Coast Winery (34843 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591) sit along the same corridor. That makes Temecula one of the easiest wine country destinations for group transportation — your bus pulls right up, your group walks in, and nobody is hunting for parking between stops.
The I-10/I-405 interchange near Santa Monica is one of the most congested in California, so building in buffer time for a Friday afternoon departure is the smart move. Compare available charter buses and minibuses for Temecula runs through the network in under 30 seconds!
Don't treat every Rancho California Road stop like open bus parking: at Ponte Winery, buses require a prior reservation, must arrive between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., and cannot park in Ponte's lots; the bus drops and picks up in the circular drive west of the Tasting Room under the Ponte Winery limo and bus policy. Your bus uses that timed curbside arrival instead of hunting for a space, so the Temecula stop stays on schedule.
Downtown Santa Monica Wine Bar Crawls and Local Tasting Nights
We help you compare buses for local Santa Monica wine nights too — no highway required. The city's own wine scene anchors around spots like Esters Wine Shop & Bar (1314 7th St, Santa Monica, CA 90401), Bodega Wine Bar (814 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA 90401), and Rustic Canyon Wine Bar (1119 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401), all within a short distance of each other in the downtown core. Parking in Santa Monica on a weekend evening runs $2.50–$6.00 per hour at metered spots, and the city's Promenade-area parking structures cap out at $12–$25 depending on location — across a group arriving in separate cars, that adds up fast.
A party bus or minibus drops everyone at the first stop, stages nearby, and picks the group up at the last one. No parking scramble. No designated driver.
No splitting up at the end of the night. Compare buses sized for a local Santa Monica wine crawl right now, and see pricing in seconds!

For routes along Mulholland Highway and Kanan Dume Road to wineries like Malibu Family Wines at Saddlerock Ranch and Cielo Farms, a Sprinter van or 15- to 25-passenger minibus is the practical choice. These roads are narrow and winding — a full-size 56-passenger coach is not the right fit. Mention your specific winery destinations when you request your quote so the network can match you with the right vehicle for the route.
The Santa Ynez Valley is approximately 130 miles north of Santa Monica via US-101, typically a 2- to 2.5-hour drive without traffic. Friday afternoon departures can stretch to 3 hours or more through the 101 corridor near Ventura. A full-size charter bus with reclining seats, WiFi, and climate control makes the drive comfortable for the whole group — and everyone arrives at the first tasting room relaxed instead of road-weary from taking turns driving.
Yes — some major Temecula wineries along Rancho California Road publish group-arrival procedures for charter buses. Ponte Winery, Wilson Creek Winery, and South Coast Winery are all located along the same wine corridor. It's always a good idea to call the specific winery ahead of your visit to confirm group arrival logistics, especially for larger buses.
Most wine tour buses pick up from a central agreed-upon point — a hotel, a home address, or a landmark like the Santa Monica Pier (200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA 90401) or the Third Street Promenade area. Multi-stop pickup loops are common, with the bus collecting guests from different hotels before heading out. Just list your pickup addresses when you submit the quote form, and pricing will reflect the full route from the start.
