Winery Tour & Pub Crawl Transportation in Fontana, California
The Inland Empire sits squarely between two of Southern California's most rewarding drink-tourism corridors — Temecula Valley wine country to the south and a dense craft brewery belt running through Riverside, Redlands, and Ontario to the east and west — and getting your group to any of it without stressing about I-15 or finding parking on a Saturday afternoon is exactly the problem a Fontana winery tour bus rental solves. Whether you are organizing a birthday tasting crawl through Riverside taprooms or a full wine country day trip down to Temecula, Party Bus Fontana makes it easy to book the right vehicle in minutes. Call 323-380-3985 or use our online quote tool to lock in your date today.
Providing Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, Party Bus Fontana has handled winery, brewery, and distillery tours for groups across the Inland Empire. That track record means we know the real logistics — the taprooms along Magnolia Avenue in Riverside that have limited street parking on weekend afternoons, the Temecula tasting rooms that ask groups to call ahead, the way I-15 southbound backs up on a Friday evening between Ontario and Murrieta. A bus rental in Fontana built around your itinerary keeps everyone together from the first pour to the last, with no one drawing the short straw on who drives home.
Our reservation team is available 24/7 at 323-380-3985 to help you build a route that actually works for your group's stops and schedule.
What Booking Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation With Party Bus Fontana Looks Like
Bus Options Perfect for Any Winery or Brewery Tour in Fontana, California
A crawl through four Riverside taprooms with ten friends calls for something different than a full wine country day trip with forty coworkers — that is why we offer a range of vehicles. A 15- to 20-passenger party bus is the right pick for a smaller celebration, with LED lighting and a Bluetooth sound system to keep the energy up between stops. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus handles mid-size groups comfortably with powerful A/C and plush reclining seats, and a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus brings undercarriage storage and onboard restrooms for longer Temecula runs where the group needs room to spread out.
Tell us your headcount and your stops and we will match you with the vehicle that fits — no paying for seats your group does not need. Call 323-380-3985 for an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds.

Fontana Brewery Crawls: Taproom Transportation Along the Inland Empire's Craft Beer Belt
The stretch of craft brewing between Riverside, Redlands, and Ontario has turned into one of Southern California's best taproom circuits, and Fontana sits right in the middle of it. Inland Empire Brewing Company (1bat 1150 California Ave, Riverside) pours alongside Ritual Brewing Co. (1315 Spruce St, Redlands), which alone draws groups from across the region for its barrel-aged lineup and patio. Closer to Fontana, Beer Hunter Brewing Co. (8250 Almeria Ave, Fontana) gives your group a true hometown first stop.
The problem with driving this circuit yourself is the math: four taproom stops means four separate parking searches on streets that get crowded by early afternoon, and at least one person in the group cannot drink at all. A party bus rental in Fontana takes care of all of that — one pickup, one drop-off at each stop, and everyone rides back together. Call 323-380-3985 to build your taproom route.
Temecula Valley Wine Country Day Trips From Fontana
Temecula Valley sits roughly 50 miles south of Fontana via I-15, and on a clear Saturday the drive down is beautiful — but I-15 southbound through Murrieta on a fall weekend afternoon is a different story. Harvest season runs September through October and draws enormous weekend crowds; by mid-afternoon the highway can add 45 minutes to a trip that should take an hour. A Fontana wine country bus rental changes the math completely.
Your group boards in Fontana, someone handles the I-15 merge and the De Portola Road turns through wine country, and nobody is watching the clock because of a designated driver situation. Wineries like Leoness Cellars (38311 De Portola Rd), South Coast Winery Resort (34843 Rancho California Rd), and Ponte Winery (35053 Rancho California Rd) all accommodate bus groups — confirm your reservations ahead of time, and we will work the approach and departure windows around your tasting schedule. Call 323-380-3985 to lock in your date before fall harvest weekends sell out.
Craft Distillery Tours and Spirits Experiences Near Fontana
The craft distillery scene in the Inland Empire and broader Southern California has grown steadily, and a spirits-focused tour is a genuine alternative to the brewery crawl or wine country day trip. Seven Caves Spirits operates in the greater San Diego/Escondido area for groups willing to make a longer afternoon of it, while the Temecula Valley now hosts several estate producers blending wine-country visits with brandy and craft spirits pours. For groups that want to keep the itinerary closer to home, pairing a craft distillery stop with two or three Inland Empire taprooms gives the day a different feel than a straight beer crawl.
The case for a charter bus rental in Fontana is the same no matter what is in the glass — when the itinerary involves multiple stops and returning to a starting point, one vehicle for the whole group is simpler and cheaper per person than coordinating separate cars. Call 323-380-3985 and our team will help you put together a spirits-forward route that works.
Wine, Beer & Spirits Festivals in Southern California: Getting Your Group There Without the Traffic Nightmare
Southern California runs some of the country's best drink-focused festivals, and several land close enough to Fontana that a charter bus is the obvious call. The Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival draws tens of thousands of visitors to Lake Skinner in late May, and the I-15 approach on festival days backs up well before the De Portola Road turnoff — shuttle lots fill fast and rideshare demand spikes hard. The Cal Poly Pomona Winery hosts its annual harvest celebration in September, about 20 miles west of Fontana via SR-210 and I-10, drawing college alumni groups and food-and-wine enthusiasts.
Closer in, the annual Redlands Craft Beer Festival pulls large crowds into a downtown area where street parking is essentially gone from setup through the last pour. For any of these, a Fontana festival bus rental means your group arrives together, parks once (the bus handles that), and gets home without a surge-pricing surprise. Call 323-380-3985 to check availability for your festival date.
Custom Winery & Brewery Tour Itineraries Built Around Your Group
Not every group wants the same trip. A bachelorette party working through Temecula tasting rooms has different priorities than a corporate team doing a local brewery tour as a team-building afternoon. Our reservation team works with you to build a route that matches your headcount, your preferred stops, and the amount of time you want at each one.
Want to start at Beer Hunter in Fontana, hit two Riverside taprooms, and finish with dinner at Sycamore Inn in Upland on the way back? We plan the route. Want a full Temecula wine country loop that starts at 10 a.m. and works through six estates before heading home on I-15?
We handle the timing. The vehicle stays on your schedule — you set the pace, we handle the navigation and coordination. Every quote from Party Bus Fontana is all-inclusive with no hidden costs, and you can confirm availability right now by calling 323-380-3985.

Client Reviews of Our Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation in Fontana
We did a tasting tour on this and it was the perfect way to spend the day. Hopping between spots with no one having to stay sober made it so much more relaxing and fun. The bus was comfortable and roomy and we could chat the whole way between stops. Booking was easy and the cost was upfront. Best group day out we've had in ages. Already planning the next one.

Rented this for a pub crawl with a dozen friends and it was exactly what we needed. Everyone together, music going between stops, and zero worry about getting home. The inside was clean and fun and the ride was smooth all night. The person I booked with was friendly and got us a great time slot. Honest pricing too. It made bouncing around Fontana effortless and a total blast. Doing it again soon.

Marguerite P.
Took the girls on a winery day with this and honestly it was the highlight of our month. We could actually enjoy every tasting since nobody had to drive between them. Comfortable, roomy, and the ride between spots was half the fun. Booking ahead was simple and they were clear about everything. We arrived home relaxed and happy with great memories. Such a smart, easy way to do a tasting tour.

Hollis A.
Did a brewery crawl on this for my buddy's send-off and it could not have gone smoother. We rolled between spots with the music up and everyone in good spirits, no one stuck being the designated driver. The bus was clean and had plenty of room to spread out. Booking took one quick call and the price was exactly as quoted. Turned a regular afternoon into an unforgettable day out.
Frequently Asked Questions About our Fontana Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services
How many wineries or breweries can we visit in one trip?
Most groups fit four to six stops comfortably in a six- to eight-hour rental window, depending on how long you want at each tasting room. Temecula winery visits typically run 45 minutes to an hour per estate when you factor in the pour, the tour, and transit time between properties. Local Inland Empire taproom crawls can move faster — 30 to 40 minutes per stop — if your group prefers variety over a long sit at any one place.
Tell us your preferences when you call and we will help structure the timing realistically.
Do the wineries and breweries accommodate bus groups?
Most established Temecula Valley tasting rooms and Inland Empire breweries welcome groups, but larger parties — typically eight or more — should call ahead and make reservations before booking the bus. Some estates require advance notice for groups to guarantee seating and a dedicated pour. When you book with Party Bus Fontana, our team can advise on which stops on your proposed route typically need a reservation call and which walk-in-friendly taprooms you can add more spontaneously.
What is the best time of year for a Temecula wine country trip from Fontana?
Spring (March through May) and late fall (October through early November) give you the best combination of comfortable temperatures and harvest energy without the peak summer heat. Harvest season proper — September through October — is the most festive, with crush activities and special releases at many estates, but also the highest weekend demand on I-15 and at the wineries themselves. If you are planning a harvest-season trip, book your bus and your tasting reservations at least four to six weeks out.
Summer trips work best as morning departures that wrap up before the afternoon heat peaks in the valley.
How far is Temecula from Fontana?
Temecula Valley is approximately 50 to 55 miles south of Fontana, primarily via I-15 South. Under normal mid-week conditions the drive runs about an hour. On weekend afternoons, especially during harvest season or around the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival in late May, the same stretch of I-15 through Murrieta can add 30 to 50 minutes in each direction.
Booking a bus means nobody in the group is managing that stop-and-go — the whole crew can start the afternoon early and stay as late as the last tasting room allows.
What is the cost of a winery or brewery tour bus rental in Fontana?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, the total number of hours, and your specific itinerary. Party buses in the 15- to 20-passenger range run $204–$378 per hour; larger 35- to 50-passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490 per hour; and full-size charter buses run $150–$300 per hour. A typical six-hour Temecula day trip for 30 people works out to a flat group rate that often runs less per person than the gas, parking, and rideshare costs of driving separately.
