Hello fellow wine lovers! As a Napa Valley local, I've been privileged to experience the valley's offerings in a way that most visitors may not have the opportunity to. And if there's one thing I can recommend without a hint of hesitation, it's the enchanting wine bus tours that our valley has to offer.

Let’s embark on this virtual journey together, and by the end, you'll be ready to book your next (or first!) wine bus tour in the heart of Northern California.
Why Choose a Wine Bus Tour?
Before we dive into the specifics, let's address the big question: Why a bus tour?
- Safe and Responsible: We all love to indulge in wine tastings, but safety must always come first. With a wine bus tour, you can indulge without worrying about driving.
- Knowledgeable Guides: These tours aren't just about sipping wines. They're a deep dive into the history, process, and the culture of winemaking in Napa.

- Education: From the grape to the bottle, learn about the journey of wine.
- Scenic Stops: Many tours stop at vantage points for photos. Trust me; you'll want to capture these views.
Tips to Enhance Your Wine Bus Tour Experience
- Stay Hydrated: Remember to drink water between wine tastings.
- Dress Comfortably: Comfortable shoes are a must! You might be walking through vineyards.
- Ask Questions: Engage with your tour guides. Their knowledge is vast and they love sharing it.
In Conclusion: Let's Raise a Glass to Napa's Wine Bus Tours!
There's a saying here in Napa: "You come for the wine but stay for the experience." And truly, a wine bus tour in Napa Valley encapsulates that sentiment perfectly.

Our Previous Guests’ Experiences
Tripadvisor reviews.
We appreciated getting an overview of what to look for and expect on the following days. Paul was a great tour guide and really made the trip even more enjoyable.
The best part was driving around Napa in the open-air trolley and hearing our guide Richard give us facts about the land. It was interesting and very scenic. I can’t imagine doing a wine tour on a bus when you can do this instead!
Great way to see multiple wineries in one day without having to plan meals and all the visits ourselves. Wineries were great, food and wine were amazing, the trolley was a fun way to travel.
Definitely recommend it if you are visiting for the first time. It’s a great way to visit a few wineries worry-free!
Mallory Shull
This was my very favorite experience in Napa! The trolley was such a fun way to see more of Napa Valley and truly experience different wineries (and not worry about driving!! :-))

The best lol.. remember me ? Micheal Marino is super cool
Excellent company would highly recommend using them. Jamie helped set up our wine tours and tastings and she picked some amazing vineyards for us to visit. She also had great recommendations for lunch and dinners. Jay was our driver and he was the VERY BEST!!! Jay knew everything about the area, his car was very clean, he was an excellent driver and just an awesome guy!!! Will definitely request him as our driver next time we visit. I very rarely do reviews but I would highly recommend this company!!!
Let me say that each time I go to Napa, it will not be an option to not book with California Wine Tours. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. Jamie, who plans your itinerary, genuinely cares about finding the perfect fit for you. She takes the time to ask what types of wine you prefer, the environment, etc. She gave great feedback on all of the wineries and provided great recommendations. She just asks all the appropriate questions overall to ensure that your experience is the best, and I can confirm that she fulfilled that for us. I went two separate times to Napa with a different girlfriend each time. Each friend enjoyed it just as much as I did. I had Thomas as my driver the first time, and when I booked the second time, I made sure that Thomas would be available to drive us again. He is so kind, personable, funny, and made sure that we got to each winery on time, had everything we needed. We really just felt like we were in good hands. I appreciated his patience as I know it can be challenging dealing with people drinking all day. He never made you feel like a burden and was very attentive. Pricing is reasonable to me. Jamie books your wineries for you, your tastings, and has your driver pick up food for you, if you're interested. Once you're picked up by your driver, the rest is guided and seamless. I looked forward to my next visit and my next wine tour with California Wine Tours. I have already recommended California Wine Tours to my friends. Thanks again for the great experience!
We booked California Wine Tours (CWT) for our all-day group event in Napa. Maddie was incredibly helpful during our booking process, ensuring that we had the most optimized itinerary. She was very friendly and communicative throughout the booking process and shared our driver information. Ricky, our driver, was fantastic! He is a sixth generation Napa resident and knows the Napa Valley area incredibly well, so we also got a bit of a tour while driving throughout the Napa Valley. We were slightly early getting into Napa, and instead of him bringing us to our first venue, he suggested that we check out downtown close to the river. He took us there so we were able to explore the area, visit the shops, and check out the scenery. It was so great to explore the area and fill time with activities versus just waiting. We had multiple stops for our fun-filled day, and Ricky made sure that we were on time for every single event. He truly put our experience first, which made our travels so fun!
Took my mom to Napa for a surprise 60th birthday and I can't suggest this company enough! Brent was our airport and winery tour guide, he was more than amazing, so knowledgeable and engaging! Brent went exceedingly above and beyond to make our experience as amazing as possible! Thank you for making our trip that much more memorable! If you're looking for a shuttle or winery tour service in the Napa/Bay Area don't hesitate to book them! Thank you so much we had the absolute best time!
Jun 15, 2023
Hi Alison, thank you so much for the great review. We have forwarded this to Brent. We really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to serve you and your family! Hope to see you again soon!
We had booked a wedding shuttle for our guests from the Sheraton Petaluma to Viansa Sonoma with another company months ahead of time and realized 3 weeks before the wedding that we would need a second shuttle. Since our original transportation company didn't have any extra shuttles, we were searching for another shuttle bus on a tight timeline. The staff at California Wine Tours and Transportation were professional and quickly helped us find a solution. The driver showed up on time and was easy to communicate with when the bus was stuck in Friday afternoon/evening traffic. Bus was clean and appeared relatively new.
Brent was phenomenal; very professional, knowledgeable, and fun. We would absolutely do another tour with him!
Tommy is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!! He is so thoughtful and went above and beyond for our reservation!!! Offered to take pics for us, offered some of his historical knowledge, took a few last minute detours per our request and all around really made our experience amazing! He really did think of everything and I will for sure be requesting him again next time!!!!
He took this pic for us!!!
I wish you could score a company 10/5. This company is fantastic. We had 3 drivers Mark, Andy & Brett- all wonderful. Each of them answered questions about Napa & the surrounding areas and offered us great local advice. They helped keep us on schedule while also ensuring we had so much fun. We always felt safe and comfortable riding with these guys. If we return, we will be calling California Wine Tours again. Worth every penny.
My wife and I really enjoyed our day with California wine Tours. They helps us plan our day. What wineries we wanted, what we liked and even lunch. Our driver George was awesome. Take the stress and DUI out of NAPA and hire these guys.

More Information on Napa Valley tours and towns
A napa wine tour through the carneros region.
The Carneros appellation is considered the crossroads of both Napa and Sonoma Valley where the two major wine regions collide. Along with this, it is known to produce some of the finest Sonoma Valley chardonnay, pinot noir and sparkling wines. Also it should be noted that the climate with the bay breeze and foggy mornings make for the perfect growing region of these Sonoma varietals. In addition it is the perfect halfway area for a Napa or Sonoma wine tour if you are coming from San Francisco or anywhere in the bay area. Finally It is also home to the oldest winery in all of California. What winery is that you ask? None other than the Historic Buena Vista Winery. Founded by Agoston Haraszthy in 1857.

The 6 best grand canyon bus tours from las vegas.
Go beyond the glitz and glam to see one of the country's top natural landmarks.
The Best Grand Canyon Bus Tours
Courtesy of National Park Express
While the Strip is certainly one of Las Vegas' most famous features, it's not all the city has to offer. A trip to Las Vegas wouldn't be complete without experiencing the awe-inspiring natural wonders just outside of it, such as the Grand Canyon. Tourists and locals alike will enjoy a break from the bright lights and bustling city on a bus tour to the Grand Canyon. As one of the largest natural canyons on Earth, the Grand Canyon is more than 270 miles long, meaning there are multiple destinations to explore; the most popular are the South and West Rims.
We've rounded up the top options for Grand Canyon bus tours from Las Vegas, whether you seek an adventurous ride or a more tranquil sightseeing experience.
Best Overall: Grand Canyon West Rim Bus/Helicopter & Landing Tour with Optional Skywalk
Getty Images
Tour operator: Canyon Tours Price: From $358 per person Duration: About 10 hours
Visitors can experience the ultimate Grand Canyon bus tour paired with an unforgettable helicopter ride down to the floor of the canyon. The adventure begins on an air-conditioned tour bus that departs from the Vegas Strip and carries passengers to the West Rim. From there, passengers will board a helicopter that descends 4,000 feet, landing on the floor of the canyon. Visitors can explore the canyon floor before reboarding the motorcoach and continuing onto Grand Canyon West, which is home to Guano Point, Eagle Point and Hualapai Ranch. You'll also have the option to brave the world-famous glass Skywalk for sweeping views (and an additional fee).
Local tip: Grand Canyon West is located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation, which is owned and operated by the Hualapai Tribal Nation. In the tribe's traditions, the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River are considered living, spiritual entities. When visiting Grand Canyon West, travelers are immersed in the rich culture and history of the Hualapai Nation.
Check prices & availability on:
Best West Rim Tour: Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour with Lunch, Hoover Dam Stop and Skywalk
Tour operator: Grand Canyon Destinations Price: From $99 per person Duration: About 11 hours
Located in Peach Springs, Arizona, the West Rim is only a few hours from Las Vegas. This tour will show you the best that the West Rim has to offer, including the glass-bottomed Grand Canyon Skywalk bridge (for an added fee). After being picked up from select Vegas hotels and traveling three hours on an air-conditioned bus, passengers get to spend up to four hours exploring the West Rim. A must-see lookout point at the West Rim is Guano Point, from which you can hike to Highpoint Hike and get a view of the Colorado River.
A lunch box, snacks and plenty of water are included with the tour. One unique feature of this outing is that you get to stop at the Hoover Dam for a photo during the bus journey (but keep in mind this stop is available seasonally). You can also choose from several upgrades, including a Skywalk admission ticket, a helicopter ride or a boat excursion.
Local tip: Because it's closer to the Las Vegas desert, this side of the Grand Canyon is the warmest year-round, with hot and dry summers, mild shoulder seasons, and occasional snowfall in the winter.
Best Budget: Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour from Las Vegas
Tour operator: Grand Canyon Destinations Price: From $84 per person Duration: About 15 to 16 hours
A South Rim bus tour offers a quieter, more historic sightseeing experience. The South Rim is one of the most popular parts of Grand Canyon National Park . Guests can see the wide variety of flora and fauna native to the area. This bus tour – which takes around four hours to get to the South Rim's Mather Point from Vegas – gives visitors the opportunity to walk along Bright Angel Trail; it leads to Bright Angel Lodge, located in the Village Historic District.
You can also stock up on snacks and souvenirs at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, since the tour only includes a box lunch and water. Or, upgrade your excursion with the guided walking tour add-on. Another historic part of the tour is the scenic drive along the famous Route 66, one of the first U.S. highways.
Local tip: Located farther from Vegas, the South Rim is cooler, with rainy and snowy winters, and more moderate temperatures in spring, summer and fall.
Tips on Trips and Expert Picks
Travel tips, vacation ideas and more to make your next vacation stellar.
Best South Rim Tour: Grand Canyon National Park South Rim Tour from Las Vegas with Lunch
Tour operator: National Park Express Price: From $119 per person Duration: About 13 hours
This guided bus tour includes lunch, bottled water and a granola bar to snack on during the day, as well as admission to some of the most popular Grand Canyon destinations, like Mather Point and Bright Angel Point. You'll get about three hours total at the Grand Canyon. Plus, you can select your own pickup location from several Las Vegas-area hotels and be dropped off at one of three locations (Excalibur, Horseshoe or Treasure Island).
Local tip: Visitors who are looking to experience the wildlife native to the area often choose the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, which is home to more animal species than the West Rim, such as coyotes and bighorn sheep.
Best All-Inclusive: Grand Canyon West Rim Bus Tour & Hoover Dam Photo Stop with Optional Skywalk
Courtesy of Comedy on Deck Tours
Tour operator: Comedy on Deck Tours Price: From $149 per adult Duration: About 10.5 hours
This full-day Grand Canyon tour run by Comedy on Deck Tours gives guests several options to customize their experience, such as a VIP Skywalk tour. But there is also a great base package. Guests are treated to not one but two sit-down meals from local restaurants: a freshly prepared breakfast and a barbecue lunch with an incredible view of the canyon. Additionally, this all-inclusive tour also stops at the Hoover Dam on the way to the Grand Canyon, so guests get to experience two national landmarks for the price of one. The professional comedian who doubles as tour guide makes for an even more fun experience.
Local tip: The West Rim is typically less crowded than the South Rim, so it may be a good option for your Grand Canyon destination if you're hoping to avoid all the tourist congestion.
Best for Families: Grand Canyon South Rim Bus Tour
Tour operator: Canyon Tours Price: $85 per person Duration: About 14 hours
Although there are plenty of kid-approved activities in Las Vegas itself, a day trip to the Grand Canyon is a must-see for any family vacation. This South Rim bus tour from Canyon Tours offers a full day of activities that kids of all ages will enjoy.
Not only will youngsters marvel at the beauty of the canyon, but they can also have an interactive experience at the IMAX theater, which plays a film that takes you into the center of the canyon. Visitor centers throughout the park also offer free activities that allow children 4 and older to earn an official Junior Ranger badge and learn about nature, history and park preservation.
Local tip: The South Rim is divided into different viewpoint areas that visitors can explore. One of the most popular viewpoints is Hermit Road, which is ideal for families with children.
Frequently Asked Questions
The exact tour duration depends on the company you choose, but you should budget at least 10 hours for the entire experience.
You'll pay at least $85 per person for a bus tour to the Grand Canyon. This price will vary based on company, tour inclusions and location along the canyon.
