VW Bus Wine Tour Temecula: 2-Stop Tastings in Vintage Style

The ride itself is half the fun: vintage VW, local backroads, and several wine stops.

A VW Bus wine tour in Temecula pairs tastings at two premier wineries (4–6 samples each) with a 2.5-hour cruise through vineyard country in an authentic vintage bus. The guide navigates sun-drenched backroads locals know, and complimentary water and snacks keep you refreshed between stops. Minimum age is 21. Gratuities for the guide are not included but appreciated. Groups of up to seven ride one bus. Larger parties get a second bus.

The experience

You board a vintage VW Bus at a local winery and spend the next two and a half hours rolling through Temecula's wine country the way it was meant to be experienced. The bus holds up to seven guests, and the guide (who knows the region and the backroads) handles the route while you settle in. Between the two main stops, you cruise past vineyard views and take the scenic detours that skip the main drags. Complimentary water and snacks keep the energy up. The whole thing is built around the idea that the journey matters as much as the destination.

At each of the two wineries, you get a full hour to taste. That's 4–6 samples per stop, so 8–12 pours total across the tour. The wineries are hand-selected for their award-winning status and the views they offer. You'll also score exclusive bottle discounts at each location, so if something lands, you can take it home. The vibe is social and unhurried: no rushing through a tasting room, no cramped schedule.

Tours run Friday and Saturday from 10:30am–1:00pm or 3:30pm–6:00pm, and Sunday through Thursday from 11:30am–2:00pm. If your group is larger than seven, Van'N Boozy runs a second bus so nobody sits out. The guide is included, speaks English, and can arrange a Spanish-speaking guide if you request it ahead of time. A Spanish-speaking guide requires advance confirmation of availability.
