Bloomington Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation Made Easy
Bloomingtonmncharterbusrentals.com is a quote-comparison and referral website — not a local bus company, not a motor carrier. That distinction matters for you. Because Bloomingtonmncharterbusrentals.com doesn't own a fleet, you're never limited to whatever one operator happens to have parked on a given Saturday.
Instead, you fill out one quick form and instantly compare vehicles, packages, and pricing from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Bloomington and the surrounding Twin Cities metro. Compare a 14-passenger Sprinter van for a small bachelorette group against a 28-passenger minibus for a larger wine club, all in one place, with no account required. A free quote is always available online or by phone at 612-230-4115 — find your next wine tour bus the smart way!
Pick From Every Bus Type for Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation
Not every wine tour group looks the same, and the buses available through the network reflect that. A Sprinter van keeps a bachelorette party of 10 together on the run out to Waconia without the overhead of a full-size coach. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus fits a wine club or a corporate outing with room for everyone's purchases on the way home.
Need a built-in bar and LED lighting before you even reach the first tasting room? A 15- to 50-passenger party bus turns the drive itself into part of the celebration. Whatever your headcount and however many stops your itinerary includes, there's a bus in the network sized and equipped for it.
Enter your trip details once to compare options side by side — no phone tag, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guessing!

Charter Buses to Alexis Bailly Vineyard and Hastings Wine Country
Minnesota's first commercial vineyard, Alexis Bailly Vineyard (18200 Kirby Ave S, Hastings, MN 55033), sits southeast of Bloomington via US-52 South. The winery's rural Kirby Avenue setting makes group transportation useful when everyone arrives together instead of in separate cars. Hastings itself adds stops such as downtown tasting rooms and the Vermilion River Winery (201 2nd St E, Hastings, MN 55033).
Book early for fall harvest weekends, when winery events and regional demand can tighten availability.
Bus Rentals to Waconia Wineries and the Parley Lake Tasting Rooms
The Waconia area packs two strong winery stops into one manageable day trip from Bloomington — about 35 miles west via US-212. Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery (8785 Airport Rd, Waconia, MN 55387) and Parley Lake Winery (8280 Parley Lake Rd, Waconia, MN 55387) sit within a few miles of each other, making them a natural two-stop loop. US-212 westbound out of Eden Prairie moves well outside of rush hour, but summer Friday afternoons can add time to the drive.
A bus rental means nobody in your group is watching the clock on their drink count, and the drive back east on US-212 is on someone else's hands entirely. The Waconia Wine Festival ran July 25–26, 2026, and future festival dates should be checked before booking; available vehicles can thin out on major local event weekends.
Charter Bus Rentals to Cannon River Winery and Northfield's Wine Trail
Cannon Falls and Northfield form a popular day-trip wine corridor from Bloomington — roughly 45 to 55 miles south via I-35W to US-19 or MN-19. Cannon River Winery (421 Mill St W, Cannon Falls, MN 55009) anchors the stop, with tastings, food, and events at its Cannon Falls location. From there, Northfield adds a walkable downtown with additional stops.
I-35W southbound out of Bloomington can see heavier weekend traffic near the southern suburbs. One bus handles the full loop — Cannon Falls, Northfield, and back — without anyone coordinating a caravan across two counties on two-lane county roads. Call 612-230-4115 to build the itinerary around your exact stops and group size!
Party Buses for Bachelorette Wine Tours Departing Bloomington Hotels
Bloomington's I-494 hotel corridor — the Marriott at Mall of America, the Hyatt Regency, the Radisson Blu, and a dozen more properties within a mile of each other — makes it one of the easiest group staging points in the Twin Cities for a bachelorette wine tour. Your whole party is already in the same place. A party bus can pick everyone up at the hotel entrance, and the celebration starts before you hit the first winery.
Party bus types available through the network commonly include a full-length bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and flat-panel TVs — so the ride out to Waconia or Hastings is part of the event, not just transportation to it. No designated driver conversations, no splitting into multiple rideshares, no one getting separated between stops. Just call 612-230-4115 or fill out the quote form to compare party buses and minibuses available for your date!
Surly Brewing and Minneapolis Taproom Bus Tours From Bloomington
Not every group wants to drive 40 miles into wine country. Minneapolis's brewery scene — Surly Brewing Co. (520 Malcolm Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414), Indeed Brewing Company (711 NE 15th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55413), Bauhaus Brew Labs (1315 Tyler St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413), and Dangerous Man Brewing (1300 NE 2nd St, Minneapolis, MN 55413) — puts four taproom stops within a few miles of each other in Northeast Minneapolis, about 15 miles north of Bloomington via I-35W. A minibus or party bus handles the I-35W northbound run, drops your group at Surly's taproom on Malcolm Avenue, and shuttles between Northeast stops on your schedule.
Parking in Northeast Minneapolis on a Saturday evening can be difficult — street spots disappear early and rideshare surge pricing can increase when your group wants to move between breweries. One bus simplifies the route. Compare vehicles and pricing in under 30 seconds using the quote tool!
WineHaven and Chisago City Winery Bus Rentals From Bloomington
For groups willing to go a bit farther, WineHaven Winery and Vineyard (10020 Deer Garden Lane, Chisago City, MN 55013) sits north of Bloomington via I-35W to I-35. WineHaven's 50-acre estate produces a range of grape, fruit, and honey wines and welcomes guests at its tasting room, making it a strong anchor for a longer day-trip itinerary. Because the drive takes you north through the Twin Cities rather than out into the western or southeastern suburbs, a charter bus or minibus rental keeps your group together on the route.
A full-size 56-passenger charter bus can offer onboard WiFi and reclining seats, turning an hour-long drive into a relaxed start to the day. Call 612-230-4115 to get pricing for your group size and date!

The closest established winery destinations are about 35 miles out in either direction. Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings runs roughly 35 miles southeast via US-52 — 40 to 50 minutes off-peak. The Waconia cluster, including Schram Vineyards and Parley Lake Winery, sits about 35 miles west via US-212.
Cannon River Winery in Cannon Falls is roughly 45 to 55 miles south via I-35W to US-19. A bus rental handles all three corridors without anyone watching their drink count on the drive home.
Yes — hotel pickups along the I-494 corridor are one of the most common starting points for wine tour buses departing Bloomington. Properties like the Marriott at Mall of America, the Hyatt Regency Bloomington, and the Radisson Blu are all possible pickup locations. When you fill out the quote form or call 612-230-4115, list your hotel name and address as the pickup location so the independent operator can confirm the arrangement.
For groups of 8 to 14, a Sprinter van with a driver is the most popular pick — compact enough to navigate rural county roads near Hastings and Waconia, comfortable for a half-day run, and easier to fill than a larger vehicle. Groups of 15 to 20 typically step up to a minibus. If the party itself is the priority from the first pickup, a 15- to 20-passenger party bus commonly offers a built-in bar and LED lighting, turning the drive into part of the bachelorette experience.

It can, and it's worth building in a buffer on Friday afternoons specifically. I-494 toward US-52 and the Hastings route, I-35W southbound toward Cannon Falls, and I-494 westbound toward US-212 and Waconia can all see heavier afternoon volume. A bus rental doesn't eliminate the traffic, but it means nobody in your group is white-knuckling an unfamiliar two-lane county road after a full afternoon of tastings.
Call 612-230-4115 and a live agent will help you plan your departure window around your specific route.
Absolutely — multi-stop itineraries are the norm for wine tours, not the exception. The Waconia corridor puts Schram Vineyards and Parley Lake Winery within a few miles of each other, making a two-stop loop straightforward. The Hastings area pairs Alexis Bailly with Vermilion River Winery in downtown Hastings.
When you fill out the quote form, list each stop in the order you want them and the quote reflects the full route. The bus can stage between stops so nobody's rushing the tasting to catch a rideshare.
Book at least four to six weeks out for most spring and summer dates. Fall harvest season — September and October — is a busy stretch for Minnesota winery tours, and buses across the Twin Cities metro can fill quickly for those weekends. Alexis Bailly's fall events and the Waconia Wine Festival in late July can increase demand across the region.
Bachelorette weekends on Saturdays in June and July book out fast too. The earlier you call 612-230-4115 or submit your quote, the better your vehicle selection and the more competitive your pricing.
