Rent a Bus to Willamette Valley Vineyards: Salem Wine-Tour Group Guide

Salem sits at the southern edge of one of the most celebrated wine regions in the world, and that is either the best thing about planning a group wine tour here or the source of a headache that derails the whole day. The Willamette Valley's tasting rooms are spread across narrow two-lane country roads — OR-99W, Bethel Heights Road, Zena Road, Orchard Heights Road — that are genuinely difficult to navigate between pours, and the designated-driver math gets painful fast once your group passes four people. A Salem wine-tour bus rental solves that in one booking: everyone rides together, nobody draws the short straw on who drives home, and the only thing left to plan is which tasting rooms to hit first.

This guide covers the full picture. Which vineyards are closest to Salem and which ones require a longer haul up OR-99W toward Dundee. What the bus drop-off and parking situation actually looks like at Willamette Valley Vineyards' main estate in Turner.

How the big open-house weekends change demand and what that means for booking timing. And which vehicle fits a group of eight versus a group of forty. By the end, you will know exactly how to structure a Willamette Valley wine tour from Salem without anyone worrying about the road home.

Why a Wine Tour Bus From Salem Changes Everything

The roads between Salem's tasting rooms are scenic and genuinely pleasant when you are not the one driving. OR-99W bends through hop fields and berry farms between Salem and Amity. Zena Road climbs into the Eola-Amity Hills through tight curves with nothing resembling a guardrail.

Orchard Heights Road winds past old fruit orchards before dropping down into the Bethel Heights neighborhood. These are exactly the kind of roads you want a bus on, not a caravan of rental cars sorting out who is sober enough to navigate them at 4 PM.

The practical arithmetic is straightforward. A group of twenty people splitting a minibus rental across the day ends up paying something close to what each person would have spent on rideshares alone — except the bus waits while you finish your tasting, no surge pricing appears at 6 PM, and your group leaves together instead of in five separate cars heading to five different hotels. Plus, the undercarriage storage on a charter bus handles the case purchases your group will almost certainly make at Willamette Valley Vineyards' estate shop without anyone cramming bottles into a lap for the drive home.

A Salem wine-tour bus rental also unlocks the full geography. On your own, you are probably limited to one or two AVAs before someone has to stop drinking and drive. With a bus, your itinerary can span the Eola-Amity Hills in the morning, Willamette Valley Vineyards' Turner estate at lunch, and a Dundee Hills tasting room in the late afternoon — three distinct subregions and six or seven pours, and the return to Salem is handled.

That is what the day is actually supposed to feel like.

Willamette Valley Vineyards: The Turner Estate (Your Logical First Stop)

Willamette Valley Vineyards (8800 Enchanted Way SE, Turner, OR 97392) sits roughly fifteen minutes south of downtown Salem via I-5 South to the Enchanted Way exit — the most accessible major winery in the entire valley for Salem groups. The estate covers the hillside above the Willamette River with sweeping views of the valley floor, a large tasting room, an on-site bistro, and one of the most visitor-ready operations in Oregon wine country. It is open daily (hours vary seasonally; confirm at wvv.com before your visit), and the tasting fees range from around $20 for the estate flight to $40+ for reserve experiences.

For buses and larger vehicles, the estate has a dedicated parking area that can accommodate oversized vehicles — the approach is via Enchanted Way SE off Delaney Road, and the lot is large enough that a charter bus or minibus does not need to drop passengers and circle. Plan to confirm with the winery in advance for groups larger than twenty, as they appreciate a heads-up for hosted tastings and seated experiences. The bistro at the estate serves food Wednesday through Sunday and makes a great midday stop for a full-day itinerary — your group can eat, taste, and browse the estate shop before the bus heads north toward the Eola-Amity Hills or west toward McMinnville.

The Eola-Amity Hills AVA: Salem's Backyard Wine Country

Most Salem groups do not realize how close they are to the Eola-Amity Hills AVA — one of the most critically acclaimed sub-appellations in all of Oregon Pinot Noir country. The hills start less than twenty minutes west of downtown Salem, and on a clear day you can see the Cascade foothills from the ridgeline. The roads into the appellation, though, are exactly why a bus is the right vehicle: Zena Road, Orchard Heights Road, and Bethel Heights Road NW are narrow, winding, and occasionally unpaved at the edges.

They are gorgeous. They are not built for a caravan of distracted wine tourists.

Key tasting rooms in the Eola-Amity Hills worth building into a Salem bus tour:

• Cristom Vineyards (6905 Spring Valley Rd NW, Salem, OR 97304) — one of the valley's benchmark Pinot Noir producers, with estate wines named after the owner's children and a hillside property that rewards the drive. By-appointment tastings; book ahead for groups.
• Bethel Heights Vineyard (6060 Bethel Heights Rd NW, Salem, OR 97304) — a family estate open Thursday through Sunday (seasonal hours vary), with panoramic views of the Coast Range. The tasting room handles small groups well, and the long-vine estate Pinots are the reason to visit.
• Witness Tree Vineyard (7111 Spring Valley Rd NW, Salem, OR 97304) — named for an 1854 land survey tree still standing in the vineyard. Small-production estate wines, open seasonally; call ahead for groups.
• Illahe Vineyards (3275 Ballard Rd, Dallas, OR 97338) — further into the hills near Dallas, Oregon, with old-vine estate fruit and a farm-to-table ethos. The remoteness is part of the appeal, and a bus means nobody is trying to find it on a smartphone while driving Rye Whiskey Road in the rain.

A half-day Salem wine tour that hits two or three Eola-Amity Hills properties and ends at Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner for a late lunch is genuinely achievable for a group of any size. The distances between tasting rooms here run fifteen to twenty minutes, and the bus handles the steep hill climbs and gravel shoulders without drama.

The Dundee Hills, McMinnville & Beyond: Building a Full-Day Itinerary

Salem's central location in the Willamette Valley is its secret advantage for wine touring. The Dundee Hills — Oregon's most famous wine-country cluster, home to Domaine Drouhin Oregon (6750 Breyman Orchards Rd, Dayton, OR 97114), Stoller Family Estate (16161 NE McDougall Rd, Dayton, OR 97114), and Sokol Blosser Winery (5000 Sokol Blosser Ln, Dayton, OR 97114) — sits roughly 40 to 50 minutes north of Salem via OR-99W. That is a comfortable bus ride, not a slog, and the corridor passes through the farm towns of Amity and Dayton with enough scenery to make the drive feel deliberate rather than transitional.

McMinnville, about 40 minutes northwest of Salem via OR-22 West to OR-99W, is the commercial heart of Oregon wine country — a walkable downtown with wine bars, acclaimed restaurants like Nick's Italian Café and Thistle, and easy walking access from the bus stop on 3rd Street. For groups that want wine country followed by dinner in a real town rather than driving home on empty stomachs, a McMinnville dinner stop is a natural way to end the day.

Further north, the Chehalem Mountains AVA around Newberg holds some of the valley's most recognizable names: Adelsheim Vineyard (16800 NE Calkins Ln, Newberg, OR 97132), REX HILL Vineyards & Winery (30835 N Hwy 99W, Newberg, OR 97132), and Penner-Ash Wine Cellars (15771 NE Ribbon Ridge Rd, Newberg, OR 97132). The Newberg cluster runs about 50 to 55 minutes from Salem via OR-99W, which makes it a full-day anchor rather than a casual addition.

Why OR-99W and the Wine Country Back Roads Demand a Bus

Anyone who has driven OR-99W on a Saturday afternoon in October knows what happens: the two-lane road narrows near Dundee, traffic stacks up behind slow farm equipment, and the tasting-room parking lots on either side of the highway fill with SUVs parked at creative angles. Now add rain — this is the Willamette Valley, so add rain — and the combination of gravel shoulders, oncoming headlights, and a full afternoon of Pinot Noir tasting is exactly the scenario a wine-tour bus rental in Salem is designed to eliminate.

The back roads are the other half of the problem. Orchard Heights Road climbs to Bethel Heights Vineyard through tight S-curves that feel narrower in the dark than they did at noon. Spring Valley Road NW has no shoulder to speak of and deer that appear in headlights without warning.

Breyman Orchards Road in the Dundee Hills is a single-lane road for stretches that require two-way passing at walking speed. These roads are why the locals who grow grapes on them do not apologize for them — the remoteness is part of what keeps the land unspoiled. They are also, frankly, roads you do not want to navigate after three or four tastings.

A bus navigates all of it. The route is planned before departure. The back-road timing is built around each tasting room's hours and reservation windows.

And when the last winery closes and the sun sets behind the Coast Range, your group boards the bus and arrives in Salem without anyone calculating whether they are okay to drive.

Peak Weekends: Memorial Day, Thanksgiving & the Open-House Calendar

Move over Napa Valley — the Willamette Valley has its own two-weekend tradition that draws visitors from across the Pacific Northwest, and if your group is planning around one of them, the transportation logistics need to move fast.

Memorial Day weekend (late May) and Thanksgiving weekend (late November) are the two annual open-house weekends when nearly every winery in the valley opens its cellar doors, pours library wines and barrel samples, and welcomes visitors who would otherwise need appointments. OR-99W becomes a slow parade of wine tourists on both weekends. Parking at the major estates fills by noon on Saturday.

Rideshare demand from the Salem and Portland metro spikes significantly, and surge pricing after 4 PM on the return trip can be brutal.

For groups organizing bus transportation around these weekends, the booking window is not a suggestion — it is the whole game. Minibuses and charter buses for wine-country routes out of Salem go fast in the six to eight weeks before Memorial Day and Thanksgiving. If your group has a date, lock it in early.

Waiting until two weeks before either open-house weekend usually means either premium pricing or no availability at the right vehicle size.

The other events worth building a bus trip around: Chehalem Mountains Bloom (April, focused on spring grape growing), the International Pinot Noir Celebration in McMinnville (typically late July), and the Newberg Old Chehalem Wine & Food Classic. Each one concentrates visitors in specific sub-appellations, tightens parking at the featured wineries, and makes a private bus the cleanest way to get your group in and out on schedule.

Which Vehicle Fits Your Wine Tour Group?

The right vehicle depends on your headcount, your itinerary's geography, and how much wine you plan to buy. A tight Eola-Amity Hills loop with eight people calls for something different than a full-day Dundee Hills circuit for thirty-five.

One practical note on wine storage: if your group plans serious purchasing — mixed cases, magnum bottles, gift sets — a charter bus's undercarriage bays handle it all without anyone holding a fragile box on their lap for forty minutes of OR-99W curves. Smaller vehicles carry less, which is worth considering before you get to your third tasting room and discover everyone wants to take home six bottles.

For bachelorette parties and milestone birthday wine tours out of Salem, the 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the consistent favorite — premium leather, individual climate controls, and enough style to make the arrival at each tasting room feel like an occasion. For corporate wine-country outings where the headcount runs twenty-five to forty, a minibus with reclining seats and powerful A/C keeps everyone comfortable across a full day of OR-18 and OR-99W corridors. We offer a massive variety of vehicles, so you never have to pay for seats you do not actually need.

Call 971-382-0030 and we will match the vehicle to the group size and the itinerary before you book.

Sample Wine Tour Itineraries From Salem

Not every group needs the same day. Here are three itineraries built around the geography and the typical group types that book Salem wine-tour buses.

The Half-Day Eola-Amity Loop (3–4 hours, best for smaller groups)

Pickup from downtown Salem at 11:00 AM. Head west on OR-22 to Zena Road and Bethel Heights Road NW for a tasting at Bethel Heights Vineyard (open Thursday–Sunday; check current hours at bethelheights.com). Continue to Cristom Vineyards for a by-appointment tasting on Spring Valley Road NW.

Close the circuit at Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner (via Zena Road south to I-5 South, approximately 25 minutes) for a late lunch at the estate bistro and a browse through the estate shop. Back in Salem by 3:00–3:30 PM. Total distance: approximately 50 miles of country roads, all handled for you.

The Full-Day Dundee Hills Circuit (6–8 hours, ideal for 20–40 guests)

Depart Salem at 10:00 AM northbound on OR-99W. First stop: Sokol Blosser Winery in Dayton (5000 Sokol Blosser Ln) for an estate tour and flight, open daily. Continue north on Breyman Orchards Road to Domaine Drouhin Oregon for a reserve tasting (by appointment; domainedrouhin.com).

Lunch stop in downtown Dundee or McMinnville. Afternoon tasting at Stoller Family Estate (open daily; confirm at stollerfamilyestate.com). Return to Salem via OR-99W and OR-18 by 5:30–6:00 PM.

Total mileage: approximately 90–100 miles; OR-99W is the primary artery, and weekend traffic on the Dundee stretch makes having a bus the only sane option.

The Salem-Based Bachelorette Wine Tour (5–6 hours, 8–14 guests)

Start with bubbles at a downtown Salem wine bar. Board the Sprinter limo at noon and head south on I-5 to Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner for the signature estate tasting experience and a seated lunch at the bistro. Afternoon swing through Illahe Vineyards near Dallas via OR-22 West for the off-the-beaten-path rural ambiance — the kind of property that requires a bus because nobody leaving a rural tasting room in the late afternoon should be navigating Rye Whiskey Road solo.

Return to Salem for dinner on Liberty Street NE. The Sprinter limo handles the whole loop, the case purchases ride in the back, and the bride-to-be never once has to worry about how the group gets home.

Bus vs. the Other Options: An Honest Comparison

There are other ways to tour wine country from Salem. Here is an honest look at how they compare for a group.

The rideshare situation in Oregon wine country is the one that surprises people most. From the Dundee Hills or the Eola-Amity Hills, a rideshare request on a Saturday afternoon can show a 30-to-45-minute estimated wait — and the car is coming from Salem or McMinnville, not from around the corner. On Memorial Day or Thanksgiving weekend, availability drops further and surge pricing is the rule, not the exception.

A private bus rental from Salem means your vehicle is already there, already waiting, and leaves when you say so. That is the whole argument.

Salem Wine-Tour Bus Pricing: What Shapes the Quote

A Salem wine-tour bus rental is priced as a block of hours, not by the stop. Your quote is shaped by a handful of clear factors: the vehicle size, the total hours from pickup to drop-off, the mileage covered across the itinerary, and the date. A half-day Eola-Amity Hills loop runs fewer hours and fewer miles than a full-day Dundee Hills circuit, and those differences are reflected in the quote.

Peak weekends like Memorial Day and Thanksgiving run higher than a mid-week October outing when the valley is equally beautiful and the tasting rooms are equally open.

For real ranges to anchor your estimate: Sprinter vans and 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15- to 35-passenger minibuses run from around $150–$280/hour; and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500 for a full-day block. For a group of twenty splitting a minibus across a six-hour wine tour, the per-person math is often in the same range as what two or three rounds of Uber surges would cost on a peak weekend — without the uncertainty, the splitting up, or the wait times on Orchard Heights Road at dusk.

Party Bus Salem provides all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds — you will know the exact number before you ever book. Call 971-382-0030 with your group size, your itinerary (even a rough one), and your date, and we will build a transparent quote around your actual trip.

Booking Your Wine-Tour Bus: What to Confirm Before You Go

A little coordination between the bus booking and the winery reservations makes the difference between a seamless day and a scramble at 1 PM when a tasting room is at capacity. Here is what to line up before departure:

• Make winery reservations early. Most Eola-Amity Hills and Dundee Hills tasting rooms, including Cristom, Domaine Drouhin, and Penner-Ash, require advance reservations for groups — many define a group as six or more. Bethel Heights and Stoller are generally walk-in friendly, but a heads-up call for groups over fifteen is worth making. Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner is the most walk-in accessible major estate in the region, but hosted seated tastings benefit from a reservation regardless.
• Confirm winery hours for your travel date. Several Eola-Amity Hills estates are seasonal: Thursday through Sunday only for some, appointment-only in the winter months. Nothing deflates a wine tour faster than arriving at a closed gate. The wineries' own websites are the right source — not Google's cached hours from six months ago.
• Build a 20-minute buffer between stops. The roads between tasting rooms take longer than a map app suggests, especially on a wet Saturday in November. A 20-minute cushion between each reservation means you arrive unhurried and the tasting room has the time reserved for you.
• Designate a group coordinator. One person in the group should be the point of contact for the bus and the tasting room reservations — the person who calls the winery if you are running ten minutes late, the person who confirms the bus pickup time before everyone starts the second bottle. It is a light job, but it keeps the day on track.

When you book with Party Bus Salem, our reservation team works with you on the route logistics, including approach roads to specific wineries and the realistic timing between stops. We have run these routes. Call 971-382-0030 and we will sort out the details before your group ever boards.

Winery Parking and Access: What the Bus Handles That You Cannot

Winery parking in the Willamette Valley ranges from "very manageable on a Tuesday" to "genuinely chaotic on a peak Saturday." Here is the honest picture at a few key destinations:

Willamette Valley Vineyards (Turner): The estate has the most generous parking lot of any major Salem-area winery, with a large gravel lot that handles buses and oversized vehicles. There is no need to drop and circle. The lot gets busy on weekend afternoons in September and October during harvest season, but a bus takes one slot instead of ten cars.

Bethel Heights Vineyard: The lot accommodates small groups well, but it is not designed for full-size charter buses. For groups arriving in a minibus or Sprinter, parking is manageable. Larger vehicles should drop at the entrance and arrange a nearby waiting spot; the road shoulder on Bethel Heights Road NW is not a substitute for a parking plan.

Domaine Drouhin Oregon: The Breyman Orchards Road approach is a single-lane road for stretches, and the estate lot is sized for the appointment model — which is why reservations for groups are essential. A minibus navigates Breyman Orchards Road without incident; a full-size charter bus requires a conversation with the winery before arrival to confirm approach and parking. We handle that coordination as part of booking.

Stoller Family Estate: One of the more visitor-accessible operations in Dayton, with a sizable lot and daily open hours. Buses can park without issue. The tasting room's views of the Dundee Hills make it a natural final stop before the OR-99W return to Salem — you can decompress, buy that last bottle, and let the bus handle the fifty-minute drive home.

Sokol Blosser Winery: Well-marked from OR-99W south of Dayton, with parking that handles buses comfortably. The winery's sustainability-focused operations include a certified B Corp status and biodynamic farming practices — worth mentioning to your group if the conversation at the tasting bar turns to Oregon's wine industry. Open daily; no appointment required for standard tastings.

When to Go: Willamette Valley Wine Country by Season

The Willamette Valley is genuinely beautiful in every season, but the character of a wine tour changes significantly depending on when you go. For groups planning a Salem wine-tour bus rental, here is the honest breakdown:

Spring (April–May): Bud break and the Chehalem Mountains Bloom make April and early May spectacular visually — the vineyards are green and the tasting rooms are not yet at peak summer crowds. Memorial Day weekend is the annual open-house peak; book transportation in March if your group wants that weekend. The weather is changeable, which is an argument for a bus with good A/C and covered boarding rather than a convertible caravan.

Summer (June–August): The International Pinot Noir Celebration in McMinnville (late July, typically three days) is the most prestigious wine event in the Pacific Northwest and draws serious collectors from across the country. The valley is at its warmest and most accessible. Weekends fill up fast at the Dundee Hills tasting rooms; a bus confirms your slot in the itinerary instead of leaving it to chance.

Harvest (September–October): The most atmospheric time to visit. Harvest is underway in September; the hillsides shift to gold and amber in October. This is when the tasting rooms are busiest and the designated-driver problem is most acute — the roads are crowded with visitors and farm equipment simultaneously.

A bus out of Salem in October is arguably the most justified version of this trip.

Winter (November–January): Thanksgiving weekend is the second annual open-house — book transportation in October. The rest of winter is quieter, with better availability and a genuinely moody wine-country atmosphere. Several smaller estates are appointment-only or closed Monday through Wednesday, so itinerary planning requires more lead time.

Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner is open daily year-round and makes a reliable stop when smaller estates are on reduced hours.

Who Books Salem Wine-Tour Buses (And Why)

The trips we cover out of Salem into wine country cover more occasions than most groups expect when they first call. A few of the most common:

• Bachelorette and birthday parties. A Willamette Valley wine tour is the Pacific Northwest version of a Napa getaway — world-class Pinot Noir, beautiful countryside, and a group that does not want anyone designated to drive. The Sprinter limo is the go-to vehicle for groups of eight to twelve; the party bus option works well for larger bachelorette groups that want the onboard bar, LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound system carrying them from Salem south to Turner and back north to Dundee.
• Corporate team outings and client appreciation events. Wine country is a great setting for getting a team together, and the Willamette Valley's world-class reputation makes it easy to pitch as a business outing. A 20- to 40-person corporate group on a minibus with reclining seats and climate control arrives at each tasting room together — no stragglers navigating OR-99W separately, no one checking email in a parking lot waiting for the rest to arrive.
• Wine club group pickups. Oregon wineries release library wines and allocation bottles in quantities that make bulk transport practical. A charter bus with deep undercarriage storage handles twenty people's cases without issue.
• Wedding weekend wine excursions. Couples hosting destination weddings in the Willamette Valley — and there are many, given the venue concentration around the Dundee Hills and McMinnville — frequently book a charter bus for the wedding-weekend wine tour that keeps out-of-town guests occupied and together on the Thursday or Friday before the ceremony.
• Family reunions. Multi-generational groups with a mix of wine drinkers and non-drinkers often use the bus as the main way to keep everyone moving together on a reunion day that includes both the wineries and a stop at something like the Enchanted Forest theme park in Turner before or after the Willamette Valley Vineyards visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly does the bus drop off at Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner?

The estate at 8800 Enchanted Way SE has a large gravel lot with enough room to accommodate buses and oversized vehicles — no need to drop and circle. The approach is via Enchanted Way SE off Delaney Road, about a mile from the I-5 Turner exit. Groups larger than twenty should call the winery in advance to coordinate arrival timing, especially during harvest season and the two open-house weekends.

Do I need a reservation at Willamette Valley wineries for a group?

Most Eola-Amity Hills and Dundee Hills tasting rooms require advance reservations for groups of six or more — Cristom Vineyards and Domaine Drouhin are appointment-only even for small parties. Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner is the most walk-in accessible major estate near Salem, but a reservation for seated hosted tastings is always recommended. Call each winery directly to confirm their current group policy; hours and requirements change seasonally.

How far is Willamette Valley Vineyards from downtown Salem?

The Turner estate is approximately 14 miles south of downtown Salem via I-5 South to the Enchanted Way exit — about 15 minutes in normal traffic. It is the closest major winery to Salem and the most practical first or last stop on any itinerary that starts or ends in the city.

Can a charter bus handle the back roads in wine country?

Minibuses and Sprinter vans navigate all of the standard Eola-Amity Hills and Dundee Hills routes without difficulty. Full-size charter buses (40–56 passengers) are better suited to the main OR-99W and OR-18 corridors and the larger estates like Willamette Valley Vineyards in Turner, Sokol Blosser, and Stoller Family Estate. For very narrow roads like Breyman Orchards Road near Domaine Drouhin or the upper reaches of Zena Road, a minibus is the right vehicle.

When you book, tell us your specific winery list and we will match the right vehicle to the route.

What is the best vehicle for a bachelorette wine tour from Salem?

For groups of eight to fourteen, the 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the consistent first pick — premium leather, tinted privacy windows, USB charging at every seat, and enough elegance to make the arrival at each tasting room feel intentional. For larger bachelorette groups of fifteen to thirty, a party bus with onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, and Bluetooth sound keeps the energy up between stops. Call 971-382-0030 to confirm availability and get an all-inclusive quote in under 30 seconds.

When should I book a wine-tour bus around Memorial Day or Thanksgiving weekend?

Six to eight weeks before either open-house weekend is the reliable window. Those two weekends are the busiest days of the year for Willamette Valley transportation — both for winery visitors from Salem and for groups coming down from Portland. The right vehicle size and the best pricing go to groups who book early.

If your group has a Memorial Day or Thanksgiving wine-tour date in mind, do not wait until the first week of May or the week before Thanksgiving to call.

How much does a Salem wine-tour bus rental cost?

Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours, mileage across your itinerary, and the date. Sprinter vans and limos run $170–$344/hour; minibuses run from around $150–$280/hour; full-size charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500 for a full day. A group of twenty splitting a minibus across a six-hour wine tour lands at a per-person cost that often compares favorably to rideshare alternatives on peak weekends — and without the 30-to-45-minute wait times on Orchard Heights Road at 4 PM on a Saturday.

Call 971-382-0030 for an all-inclusive quote with no hidden costs.

Can the bus store our wine purchases?

Yes. Charter buses have deep undercarriage luggage bays that comfortably handle case purchases, gift sets, and large-format bottles without anyone holding a fragile box on their lap for forty minutes of OR-99W curves. Minibuses have overhead bins and some underfloor storage.

If your group plans significant purchasing, mention it when you book — we will make sure the vehicle has appropriate storage for the load.
