Detailed itinerary
1
Get ready to roll! Your Van'N Boozy host kicks off the fun with introductions and a quick photo op before you hop into your private vintage VW Bus. We’ll cruise scenic back roads to three award-winning wineries, handling all the details so you can focus on the fun:
• Private Tour: This tour is private to your friends or family. While you’ll see other Boozy Buses out and about and the bus may be used while you are inside tasting wine, you’ll never have to sit shoulder to shoulder with strangers.
• Curated Surprises: We pre-select our stops and keep it a secret to add a little magic to your day.
• Ultimate Tastings: Enjoy 4–6 pours at each of the 3 wineries (up to 18 total!).
• Local Experts: Our local driver-hosts share fun Temecula facts along the way.
• Stay Refreshed: Enjoy complimentary snacks and chilled water between our stops.

Wine with a View. Settle in and stay a while! You’ll have a full hour to dive into your included tastings and explore the stunning vineyard grounds. Whether you’re here for the award-winning wine or the breathtaking scenery, this stop sets the perfect tone for our vintage adventure.
3
We’ll head to a charming winery where the team is already expecting our arrival. We spend extra time here so you can sip your tastings and enjoy a relaxed meal at their on-site restaurant. Whether you’re craving a full lunch or just some appetizers to share, it’s the perfect midday break.
• Note: The cost of food is not included in the tour price.
4
By now, the wine is flowing and spirits are high! This final stop is all about soaking in the Temecula sunshine and enjoying the moment. Whether the atmosphere is high-energy or perfectly mellow, you can savor your last round of included tastings while exploring the beautiful, expansive vineyard grounds.
5
As adventurous locals, we’re obsessed with the "hidden" Temecula. We’ll skip the main drags and take you down the sun-drenched backroads that only the locals know! Temecula Wine Country might be intimate in size, but the memories we pack into this journey are larger than life.
We don’t just drive; we cruise. Between stops, we take the scenic route so you can fully lean into the VW lifestyle. Whether you're singing along to your favorite throwback hits or feeling the vineyard breeze in your hair, the ride itself is half the fun. Grab a snack, enjoy the views, and let the good times roll!
*Dependant on your pick up location, there is an estimated 40-65 minutes of total driving time throughout the day.
