The experience

This is a tour built around your preferences, not a fixed itinerary. After you book, the operator contacts you to confirm which wineries, breweries or distilleries you want to visit. You can pick from over 30 options across Old Mission, Leelanau and downtown Traverse City, or let the operator choose if you prefer. The four-hour window starts at 10am, 11am, noon or 5pm, whichever fits your schedule. The limo-bus picks up your group from your hotel or any location in Traverse City and handles all the reservations at each stop, so you arrive ready to taste without the logistics.

The vehicle itself is part of the experience: perimeter seating faces inward so your group stays together, wood flooring and LED lighting set the mood, and Bluetooth audio lets you control the soundtrack between stops. An onboard cooler means you can bring beverages along for the ride. The tour works for birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor and bachelorette parties or any group that wants to explore the region's wine and beer scene without managing transportation or calling ahead.

One staff member from Magic Shuttle Bus will call after booking to lock in your stops and confirm pickup details, so have a reliable contact number ready. The tour accommodates groups of up to 14 or 15 to 20 guests depending on which option you book, and all ages can ride: infants sit on an adult's lap and strollers are welcome.
