In Lincoln, wine tour groups come in every size — and through the network, so do the buses! A small group of friends heading to Glacial Till Vineyard & Winery (91677 560 Ave, Brownville, NE 68321) (344 S. 2nd Rd, Palmyra, NE 68418) on a Saturday afternoon is a perfect fit for a sprinter van or a 15-passenger minibus.

Nebraska Lets You Sip Between Stops — Your Charter Bus Makes It Legal and Easy
Get a head start on the celebration before you even arrive at the first vineyard! Under Nebraska Revised Statute § 53-186, passengers in a hired motor vehicle like a charter bus or party bus can legally consume alcohol while the vehicle is in motion — as long as they're not the one operating it. That means your group can pour a glass on the way from Lincoln out to James Arthur Vineyards and arrive already in the spirit of the day.
A party bus with a built-in full-length bar and color-changing LED lighting makes that ride between wineries part of the experience, not just the in-between. Compare party buses and minibuses from a network of companies serving Lincoln and find the one that fits your group!
From James Arthur Vineyards to Branched Oak Winery — Your Bus Handles Every Stop
Whether your itinerary hits one winery or five, a charter bus or minibus keeps every stop on schedule without anyone worrying about who's driving home. The Raymond-area wine corridor — home to both James Arthur Vineyards (2001 W Raymond Rd, Raymond, NE 68428) and Branched Oak Winery (21900 NW 140th St, Raymond, NE 68428) — is just 15 to 20 miles northwest of Lincoln via NW 1st Street and US-34, an easy ride that becomes a whole lot more fun when your group is together in one vehicle. For James Arthur, your bus approaches from Lincoln at 14th and Superior, turns west on Raymond Road, and reaches the winery after 2.5 miles on the south side of the road; the James Arthur Vineyards directions keep that approach clear.
You set the stops and the timing. The bus handles the rural roads, the parking, and the return trip. Compare minibuses and party buses from a network of companies serving Lincoln and build the itinerary your group actually wants!
Keeping Your Whole Group Together From the First Tasting to the Last Pour
Keeping everyone on the same page across multiple winery stops is the hardest part of planning a group wine tour in Lincoln — and a charter bus solves it completely. No splitting into separate cars. No designated driver drawing the short straw.
No trying to coordinate five different groups leaving at five different times. One bus picks everyone up from the same spot, moves together from Glacial Till Vineyard out to Schillingbridge and back, and drops everyone off at the end of the night. You choose the route, the stops, and the return time.
The bus keeps the group together for every moment of it. Compare buses from a network of companies serving Lincoln and find the right fit for your group!
You Don't Have to Worry About Driving on Rural Nebraska Roads After a Day of Tastings
You don't have to think twice about who's getting everyone home safely when you book a wine tour bus through Charterbusserviceslincoln.com! The roads between Lincoln and the area's best wineries — NW 1st Street toward Raymond, Nebraska Highway 2 south toward wine country, or I-80 east toward Brownville — are easy enough to navigate on a clear afternoon, but a long day of tastings at multiple stops is exactly when nobody should be behind the wheel. A charter bus or minibus means your whole group can enjoy every pour at every stop and still get home without a second thought.

Coordinating a Wine Tour for a Bachelorette, Birthday, or Corporate Group in Lincoln

James Arthur Vineyards and Branched Oak Winery are the two most popular winery day-trip destinations for Lincoln groups, both located just 15 to 20 miles northwest of the city. Glacial Till Vineyard & Winery is about 15 minutes from Lincoln and is the most accessible option. Schillingbridge Winery & Microbrewery in Valparaiso is about 30 miles northeast and is popular for mixed wine-and-beer groups.
It depends on your group! A sprinter van works well for 8 to 14 people on a private tour. A 15- to 25-passenger minibus is the most popular choice for Lincoln wine tour groups — compact enough to navigate rural winery driveways but roomy enough for a comfortable group.
A party bus is the top pick for bachelorette and birthday groups who want a built-in bar and LED lighting. For large corporate or event groups, a 56-passenger charter bus handles everyone in one trip. Compare all sizes and pricing from the network in under a minute!
Book as early as you can to lock in the best price and vehicle selection! For Saturday wine tours in spring and summer — peak season in Nebraska — booking four to six weeks out is strongly recommended. University of Nebraska home football weekends at Memorial Stadium (1 Memorial Stadium Dr, Lincoln, NE 68588) drive enormous demand for all group transportation across Lincoln, so avoid those dates or book months in advance if your wine tour falls on or near a game day.
The 2026 Memorial Stadium home dates are September 5, September 12, September 19, October 3, October 10, October 31, and November 21, so your bus should be secured well before any of those Saturdays; see the Nebraska 2026 football schedule for the full game calendar. The Nebraska Wine & Harvest Festival in Crete each September also fills buses fast.
Absolutely — and it's one of the most popular requests for Lincoln group tours! Schillingbridge Winery & Microbrewery combines wine and craft beer under one roof, making it a natural hybrid stop. Lincoln's own craft beer scene — including Zipline Brewing Co. (2100 Magnum Circle, Lincoln, NE 68522) and Kinkaider Brewing Co. (130 N 10th St, Lincoln, NE 68508) — can be added as pre- or post-winery stops on your custom itinerary.
Just list your preferred stops when you fill out the quote form or call 531-248-5185, and the network will match you with a bus and package that fits your full day!
