Wine Tour Party Bus in Dallas

Wine Tour Party Bus in Dallas — Sip, Savor & Ride in Style

Texas wine country is closer than you think. Just 25 minutes northwest of downtown Dallas, the charming city of Grapevine, Texas offers over a dozen walkable tasting rooms, award-winning wineries, and a Main Street that feels like Napa Valley transplanted to North Texas. Beyond Grapevine, the DFW area is home to boutique wineries and vineyard estates scattered across the rolling terrain north and west of the Metroplex. A Dallas Party Ride wine tour party bus connects them all — letting your group taste, savor, and celebrate without anyone worrying about driving between pours.

Wine tours are one of the most popular group outings in Dallas for good reason: they combine culture, flavor, scenery, and socializing in a single afternoon. But the math on driving is unforgiving — even moderate wine tasting at three or four stops puts every driver over the legal limit. A party bus or limousine solves that equation completely, turning what could be a stressful designated-driver situation into a carefree day of exploration.

Whether you are planning a bachelorette weekend, a couples' getaway, a milestone birthday, or a Saturday with friends who appreciate a good Tempranillo, a wine tour party bus is the smartest — and most fun — way to explore North Texas wine country.

Why Wine Tours Deserve a Party Bus

• Zero DUI risk: This is the biggest reason, full stop. Wine tasting and driving do not mix. A professional driver eliminates the risk entirely.
• BYOB between stops: Bring a bottle you purchased at the first winery and enjoy it on the bus ride to the next. Our buses have coolers and cup holders ready.
• More stops, more variety: Without driving constraints, your group can visit 4–6 tasting rooms in a single afternoon instead of the 2 you would manage by car.
• Group experience: Tasting wine is better with commentary, laughter, and shared opinions. The bus keeps the conversation going between every stop.
• Comfort and climate: Texas summers are intense. Stepping from an air-conditioned bus into a tasting room and back beats walking across hot parking lots between your cars.

Vehicle Recommendations for Wine Tours

Browse the full fleet and choose based on your group size and style preference:

• Stretch Limousine (8–14 guests): The quintessential wine tour vehicle. Leather seating, champagne buckets, and a refined atmosphere that matches the sophistication of a vineyard visit.
• 20-Passenger Party Bus: The most popular pick for larger wine groups (12–18). Lounge seating and cooler space make it easy to transport purchased bottles safely.
• 30-Passenger Party Bus: Great for bachelorette wine tours, office team outings, or combined friend-group excursions. More room means more fun.

Top Dallas-Area Wine Tour Destinations

Grapevine, TX is the epicenter of DFW wine culture. Here are must-visit stops:

• Messina Hof Winery (Grapevine): Part of one of Texas's oldest and most acclaimed winery families. Beautiful tasting room on Main Street with a broad selection of Texas-grown varietals.
• Cross Timbers Winery (Grapevine): A family-owned boutique winery producing small-batch wines from Texas grapes. The intimate tasting room is perfect for conversation.
• Delaney Vineyards (Grapevine): Tucked into a 10-acre vineyard estate, Delaney offers tastings and tours in a stunning Tuscan-style building. The barrel room is photo-worthy and available for private events.
• Homestead Winery (Grapevine Main Street): A downtown tasting room with a wide selection of sweet and dry wines — something for every palate.
• Grape Vine Springs Winery: Located right on Main Street, this tasting room is popular for its relaxed atmosphere and rotating seasonal releases.
• Grapevine Vintage Railroad: Not a winery, but many wine tour groups pair a ride on this vintage steam train with their tasting itinerary. It runs along the Cotton Belt Route and offers special wine-themed excursions.

Beyond Grapevine, consider extending your tour to Landon Winery in McKinney, Eden Hill Vineyard in Celina, or Brushy Creek Vineyards in Alvord for a broader North Texas experience. See more ideas on our blog.

Planning Tips & Timeline

A well-paced wine tour visits 3–5 wineries over 4–6 hours. Here is a sample Grapevine itinerary:

• 11:00 AM: Bus picks up in Uptown Dallas or a central meeting point. Mimosas and charcuterie on board.
• 11:45 AM: First stop — Delaney Vineyards. Full tasting and vineyard tour (60 minutes).
• 1:00 PM: Lunch at a Grapevine Main Street restaurant — Tolbert's Restaurant or Winewood Grill.
• 2:15 PM: Messina Hof tasting (45 minutes). Purchase bottles to enjoy on the bus.
• 3:15 PM: Cross Timbers Winery tasting (45 minutes).
• 4:15 PM: Homestead Winery or a walk along Main Street for shopping and coffee.
• 5:00 PM: Board the bus for the ride back to Dallas. Open the bottles you bought and recap the day.

Use the Event Timeline Builder to map your custom wine tour. Book two to three weeks out, especially in spring and fall when wine festivals drive heavy demand.

What to Expect on the Day

Your driver arrives at the pickup point with the bus stocked with ice in the coolers. Many groups bring snacks and non-wine beverages for the road. At each winery, the bus drops you at the entrance — no hunting for vineyard parking. Tasting fees are typically $10–$20 per person per winery and are paid directly at each location. Your driver waits and remains on call for the next move. Between stops, the bus becomes a rolling tasting lounge — open the bottles you just bought, compare notes, and enjoy the ride through the rolling terrain north of Dallas. For wine festival transportation (GrapeFest, New Vintage Wine & Gallery Trail), we offer dedicated shuttle service to and from the festival grounds.

Pricing & Cost Considerations

Wine tour pricing is based on total hours and vehicle type. A stretch limo for a five-hour Grapevine tour splits to a very manageable per-person cost among 10–12 guests — often less than the combined cost of rideshares, parking, and a potential DUI. Use the Trip Cost Calculator for a custom estimate, or call (214) 945-0983 for a detailed quote.

Safety & Logistics

Wine tours are the textbook use case for professional transportation. Even moderate tasting across three wineries puts most people well over the legal limit. All Dallas Party Ride drivers are commercially licensed, background-checked, and experienced with North Texas wine country routes. Our vehicles are fully insured, and drivers know the back roads between Grapevine, Southlake, and surrounding communities.
