One Quick Form for Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation Pricing From a Network of Bus Companies
Stpaulcharterbusrentals.com is a quote-comparison and referral website — not a bus company, not a motor carrier, and not a single fleet. That distinction matters when you're planning a winery crawl across the St. Croix Valley or a brewery night through Midway and Lowertown. Because Stpaulcharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving St. Paul and the Twin Cities metro, you're never stuck with whatever one operator happens to have open on a Saturday.
You fill out one form, land on a results page with vehicles and pricing, and pick the bus that fits your group. Or call 612-248-3040 any time and a live agent will build a custom package around your stops, your headcount, and your date.
More Buses, More Options for Your Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation
A bachelorette group of 14 headed to Saint Croix Vineyards in Stillwater needs something different than a corporate team of 50 heading out to Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings. Through Stpaulcharterbusrentals.com, you can compare sprinter vans, 15–35 passenger minibuses, 15–50 passenger party buses, and 56-passenger charter buses side by side — with photos, amenities, and pricing all on one screen. Party buses come loaded with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound for groups that want the celebration to start on the road.
Minibuses and charter buses bring reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, and undercarriage luggage storage for longer hauls out to wine country. Whatever your group looks like, there's a bus in the network that fits.

Charter Buses to Alexis Bailly Vineyard and the Hastings Wine Corridor
Minnesota's oldest winery sits at 18200 Kirby Ave, Hastings, MN 55033 — about 25 miles south of St. Paul via US-61, the Great River Road. Alexis Bailly Vineyard opens Thursday through Sunday from Memorial Day through late November, and the gravel lot at the end of Kirby Avenue is where your bus pulls in and waits while the group works through the tasting room. The drive down US-61 through Cottage Grove and into Hastings is scenic on a fall weekend — and also the stretch where a Saturday afternoon caravan of separate cars turns into a parking scramble on a narrow county road.
One charter bus solves the whole thing: everyone boards at a single downtown St. Paul pickup, nobody drives, and the bus is already staged at the lot when the last pour is done. Fall color weekends in October book fast — call 612-248-3040 to lock in your date.
Buses to Saint Croix Vineyards and the Stillwater Wine Route
Saint Croix Vineyards (6428 Manning Ave N, Stillwater, MN 55082) sits about 20 miles east of St. Paul on the Minnesota side of the St. Croix River — a 30-minute drive on MN-36 off-peak, and a 50-minute crawl through Oakdale and Lake Elmo on a Saturday afternoon when the whole metro is heading toward Stillwater's historic downtown. The Saint Croix Vineyards tasting room is open year-round, and the property's parking area handles a bus without issue. Pair it with a stop at Winehaven Winery (9757 292nd St, Chisago City, MN 55013) about 40 miles north via I-35E, and you have a full-day loop that covers two distinct Minnesota wine regions — with your group riding together between both instead of navigating separately through Washington County.
A 15-passenger sprinter van handles a small bachelorette group; a 25-passenger minibus fits a birthday group with room to spare.
Brewery Tour Buses Through St. Paul's Midway and Lowertown Neighborhoods
St. Paul's brewery scene is walkable in theory and a logistical headache in practice once your group hits four or five stops across the city. Summit Brewing Co. (910 Montreal Ave, St. Paul, MN 55116) anchors the southwest; Urban Growler Brewing (2325 Endicott St, St. Paul, MN 55114) sits in Midway; Burning Brothers Brewing (1750 Thomas Ave, St. Paul, MN 55104) is a few blocks north; Bang Brewing (2320 Capp Rd, St. Paul, MN 55114) is nearby; and Tin Whiskers Brewing (125 9th St E, St. Paul, MN 55101) puts you right in Lowertown near CHS Field. Downtown St. Paul metered parking runs $1.50–$2.50 per hour, enforced until 10pm — and finding five separate spots for five separate cars at five different stops adds up fast.
A party bus with a built-in bar keeps the energy going between breweries, and one designated pickup point at the end of the night means nobody is figuring out a rideshare from a dark parking lot on Capp Road.
Wine Festival Buses to CHS Field and Harriet Island Regional Park
The St. Paul Craft Beer & Music Festival at CHS Field (360 N Broadway, St. Paul, MN 55101) and summer events at Harriet Island Regional Park (200 Dr Justus Ohage Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55107) draw large numbers of attendees to the riverfront — and the Wabasha Street Bridge and Lafayette Bridge both back up on event days when parking along the bluff fills before noon. A charter bus drops your group at the venue entrance and picks everyone up when the festival winds down, without anyone circling Lowertown looking for a spot or paying $25 in a private lot. Rideshare surge pricing at festival close is a genuine problem on busy summer weekends in downtown St. Paul.
One bus, one flat rate, one pickup point — and the group stays together from the first pour to the last song. Book early for summer festival dates; availability across the Twin Cities metro tightens by April.
For Harriet Island Regional Park (200 Dr Justus Ohage Blvd, St. Paul, MN 55107), the west entrance follows Plato Boulevard to Dr. Justus Ohage Boulevard for the Wigington Pavilion, while the east approach runs from Plato Boulevard to Wabasha Street, Fillmore Street, and Levee Road for Raspberry Island. Your bus gets the correct side of the park for the event instead of dropping everyone at the wrong entrance and making the group walk across the riverfront.
For CHS Field (360 N Broadway, St. Paul, MN 55101), the west entrance is where one-way 5th Street dead-ends at Broadway, and the Green Line also connects with the ballpark area. Your bus can use the west-side approach for the arrival and let the group reunite at the same Broadway-side entrance after the festival.
Bus Rentals to Cannon River Winery and the Cannon Falls Wine Region
Cannon River Winery (421 Mill St W, Cannon Falls, MN 55009) is about 45 miles south of St. Paul on US-52 — roughly an hour's drive that turns into 90 minutes when construction on I-35E through the south metro backs up the approach. The Cannon River Winery tasting room sits in a restored historic building in downtown Cannon Falls, with street-level parking that handles a minibus on a quiet weekday and gets tighter on a busy fall weekend. Pair it with a stop at Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings on the way back north via US-61, and you have a two-winery day that covers the best of the river valley wine corridor without anyone navigating US-52 after a full afternoon of tasting.
A 15-passenger minibus is the right size for most groups doing this route; a 25-passenger bus works for larger birthday or bachelorette parties.
Schram Vineyards and Waconia Wine Country Bus Rentals
Schram Vineyards (8785 Airport Rd, Waconia, MN 55387) is about 50 miles west of St. Paul via I-394 and US-212 — an easy 55-minute drive on a weekday that stretches past an hour when the western suburbs slow down on a Friday afternoon. Schram Vineyards is open Thursday through Sunday and sits on a working vineyard property outside Waconia, with a tasting room and event space that draws groups from across the metro for private tastings and weekend tours. The gravel lot accommodates a minibus or charter bus without issue.
Combine it with a stop at Sovereign Estate Winery (9950 N Shore Rd, Elk River, MN 55330) about 30 miles north of Waconia for a full western Minnesota wine day, and you have a loop that keeps your group out of the driver's seat for the entire run. Compare minibuses and charter buses for this route through the Stpaulcharterbusrentals.com quote tool — pricing comes back in under 30 seconds.
Large groups heading to Schram Vineyards (8785 Airport Rd, Waconia, MN 55387) need approval before arrival unless they are using a scheduled Group Visit experience, and unscheduled bus visits depend on available space and seasonality. Your bus arrives with the winery's large-party rules already accounted for instead of risking a turn-away at the end of the Waconia drive.

Fall weekends in September and October — when Alexis Bailly Vineyard and Saint Croix Vineyards draw the biggest crowds — tighten availability across the metro fast. Bachelorette weekends and birthday groups on Saturdays from May through October book even faster.
The earlier you lock in your date, the better your vehicle selection and pricing. Waiting until the week of your tour almost always means higher rates or nothing left in the network at all.
Yes, and multi-stop itineraries are one of the most common requests through the network. A typical St. Paul day-trip might run from a downtown hotel pickup south on US-61 to Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings, then back north to a Lowertown brewery for dinner — or east on MN-36 to Saint Croix Vineyards in Stillwater with a second stop in Chisago City on the way home. List your stops and timing when you fill out the quote form, and the platform prices the full itinerary.
Add roughly 10 minutes per stop for loading and pulling back into traffic.
Most bachelorette groups in the St. Paul area run 10 to 20 people, which puts a 15-passenger sprinter van or a 15- to 20-passenger party bus right in the sweet spot. Party buses come with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound — so the celebration runs from the first pickup through the last drop-off without anyone sitting in a separate car. If your group is larger, a 25- or 28-passenger minibus keeps everyone together with room to breathe.
Compare both options side by side through the quote tool and see what's available for your date.
Yes. Stillwater is about 20 miles east of St. Paul on MN-36 — a 30-minute drive off-peak, longer on a busy Saturday through Oakdale and Lake Elmo. Hastings is about 25 miles south via US-61 along the Great River Road.
Both are common day-trip destinations for St. Paul wine tour groups, and the network includes operators running both routes. Enter your pickup city and destination wineries in the quote form to see which vehicles are available for your specific date and route.
Absolutely. The Twin Cities metro is one market, and the network covers both sides of the river. A group starting in St. Paul can run west on I-94 into Minneapolis, hit Surly Brewing (520 Malcolm Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414) or Indeed Brewing (711 NE 15th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55413), and loop back to a St. Paul hotel at the end of the night — all on one bus, one flat rate, no parking at any stop.
