Bus Rentals for Your Winery or Brewery Tour in Minneapolis
Group size shapes the vehicle — and there's a wide range to compare through this site. A 15-to-35-passenger minibus is a natural fit for a tight-knit taproom crawl through Northeast or North Loop, with running rates starting around $200–$275 per hour on weekdays. If your group is bigger — a corporate outing, a bachelorette weekend, a milestone birthday — a 40-passenger party bus runs $300–$350 per hour on weekdays and comes with onboard amenities to keep energy up between stops.
For touring the St. Croix Valley wineries with a large group, a 56-passenger charter bus handles the full group in one run, with undercarriage bays for any gear. Pricing for your exact date takes about a minute at 612-778-8940.

Charter a Bus for Brewery Tours and Taproom Crawls in Minneapolis
Northeast Minneapolis is ground zero for the city's craft beer explosion. Dangerous Man Brewing (1300 NE 2nd St), Indeed Brewing (711 NE 15th Ave), Able Seedhouse + Brewery (1121 NE Quincy St), and Fair State Brewing Cooperative (2506 Central Ave NE) are all within a two-mile radius — walkable in theory, but not practical when your group is 20 people deep and the temperatures drop below freezing in January. A minibus lets your group hit four or five taprooms in a single afternoon without anyone navigating I-35W or hunting for street parking on Central Avenue.
North Loop adds Fulton Brewing (414 6th Ave N) and can be stitched onto the same route with a short hop across the river. A Minneapolis brewery tour bus rental listed here makes that entire loop simple to execute. Call 612-778-8940 to build the route.
Bus Rentals for Winery Tours and Wine Country Day Trips from Minneapolis
Minnesota's wine country sits along the St. Croix River Valley east of the Twin Cities, roughly 45 minutes to an hour from downtown Minneapolis on I-94 East toward Stillwater. Wineries like Saint Croix Vineyards (6428 Manning Ave N, Stillwater) and Alexis Bailly Vineyard (18200 Kirby Ave, Hastings) — one of the oldest in the state — make for a full-day outing that's genuinely difficult to pull off when someone has to drive. Alexis Bailly is about 30 miles south of Minneapolis off US-52, and Saint Croix is a straight shot east past Hudson.
A charter bus or minibus from the network handles that full day in a single booking: one pickup, multiple winery stops, and a drop-off back at your starting point. Check rates on the Minneapolis party bus prices page or call 612-778-8940.
Distillery Tours and Craft Spirits Experiences Near Minneapolis
The Twin Cities distillery scene has grown quickly, and several of the best are clustered in Minneapolis proper. Tattersall Distilling (1620 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis) sits right in the heart of Northeast and offers weekend tours with tastings — it's one of the most-visited distilleries in the state. Norseman Distillery (451 Taft St NE) is nearby and pairs well with a Northeast taproom route.
Du Nord Craft Spirits (2610 E 32nd St, Minneapolis) is a short drive south in the Longfellow neighborhood. Stringing these three together with a couple of brewery stops makes for a genuine Minneapolis craft spirits day — and a 25-passenger party bus is the practical way to move a group between them without the parking scramble on NE Central or the guesswork of coordinating rideshares at last call. Call 612-778-8940 to put together that itinerary.
Bus Rentals for Beer, Wine, and Spirits Festivals in Minnesota
Minnesota hosts several festivals annually where transportation becomes a real logistical challenge. The Craft Beer Expo at the Minneapolis Convention Center (1301 2nd Ave S) draws thousands of attendees and fills the Marquette Avenue parking ramps around the convention center well before doors open. The Festival of Beers at various metro venues and the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild's Winterfest and Summerfest events pack out quickly — and rideshare surge pricing on those nights can run 2–3x normal rates by 10 p.m.
The Minnesota State Fair at the State Fairgrounds in Falcon Heights (1265 Snelling Ave N) runs 12 days each August through early September and includes a massive craft beer and wine pavilion; parking near the fairgrounds is limited and expensive, making a group bus drop-off at Gate 9 off Snelling Avenue a significantly smarter plan. Book these dates early — festival weekends fill fast. Call 612-778-8940.
Custom Winery and Brewery Tour Itineraries Starting in Minneapolis
Not every group wants a preset route. Some want to anchor the day around a single destination — say, a long afternoon at Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery (8785 Airport Rd, Waconia, about 35 miles southwest of downtown via US-212) — and fill in around it. Others want to design a five-stop Northeast taproom crawl with a dinner break at a specific restaurant midway through. Partybusinminneapolis.net isn't locked into fixed tours; the site connects your group to transportation providers who can execute whatever itinerary you've mapped out, or help refine one if you're still planning.
A Minneapolis bachelorette party bus can double as a winery route just as easily as a night-out vehicle. Confirm your stops, headcount, and date, then call 612-778-8940 — a support team is available every day of the year to help work out the details.

Frequently Asked Questions About Minneapolis Winery Tour & Pub Crawl Transportation Services
How does this website work?
Partybusinminneapolis.net helps you compare bus rental options; it is not the bus company and does not rent, own, or operate vehicles. When you submit the quote form, your trip details go through a booking company so you can review pricing and available vehicles for your date. You compare the options and book through the process shown with your quote.
How does Partybusinminneapolis.net help with winery, brewery, and distillery tour transportation in Minneapolis?
Partybusinminneapolis.net is a quote-comparison website — not a transportation company. Fill out one quick form or call 612-778-8940, and the site pulls vehicle options and rates from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Minneapolis and the surrounding metro. You compare buses and pricing in one place instead of calling a dozen companies separately.
No account needed, no obligation, and pricing takes about a minute.
How does Minneapolis winery, brewery, and distillery tour transportation work with Partybusinminneapolis.net?
You enter your trip details once — group size, pickup location, date, and stops — and compare available vehicles and rates from providers serving your area. From there, you pick what fits your budget and group. The site connects groups to minibuses, party buses, and charter buses depending on how many people are coming and how many stops are on the itinerary.
Call 612-778-8940 any time for help sorting through the options.
Which Minneapolis neighborhoods have the most brewery stops for a taproom crawl?
Northeast Minneapolis is the most concentrated. Dangerous Man, Indeed, Able Seedhouse, Fair State, and Bauhaus Brew Labs (1315 Tyler St NE) are all within roughly two miles of each other. The North Loop adds Fulton Brewing just across the river.
A minibus connecting both neighborhoods in a single afternoon is a common itinerary — and far easier than coordinating parking across six separate stops on a Saturday.
How far are the St. Croix Valley wineries from downtown Minneapolis?
Saint Croix Vineyards in Stillwater is about 45 minutes east on I-94. Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings runs roughly 35 minutes south via US-52. Both can be combined into a full-day outing with a single charter bus, though the route is a longer haul than a metro taproom crawl — plan for 6–8 hours if you're hitting both.
Call 612-778-8940 to get per-day charter bus pricing for that kind of run.
What's the best vehicle size for a Northeast Minneapolis brewery crawl?
Most taproom crawl groups fall in the 15-to-30-person range, which makes a minibus the natural fit. Minibuses are easier to stage on Northeast's narrower residential blocks and don't require a dedicated commercial lot the way a full charter bus sometimes does. If your group is pushing 40 or 50 people, a party bus makes more sense — compare both options at 612-778-8940.
When should I book a bus for a winery or brewery tour in Minneapolis?
For summer weekends — especially July and August, when patios are open and the State Fair draws competing demand — book at least four to six weeks out. Fall harvest season at the St. Croix Valley wineries (September–October) is the single busiest period for winery-specific runs and fills fast. For New Year's Eve and major festival dates like Winterfest, six to eight weeks minimum is the safe window.
The earlier you call, the more vehicle options are available at reasonable rates.
Can a bus wait while my group is inside a brewery or winery?
Yes — staging and wait time are standard parts of a brewery or winery tour itinerary. When you request a quote through Partybusinminneapolis.net, include your expected time at each stop so the rate reflects the full trip. Most wineries and breweries in the metro have parking lots or nearby street parking where a minibus can stage comfortably.
The St. Croix Valley properties like Saint Croix Vineyards have on-site lot space for larger vehicles. Confirm the staging plan when you call 612-778-8940.
