New Orleans Wine Tour & Pub Crawl Bus Rental Service
New Orleans runs on good spirits in every sense of the word — and between the city's booming craft brewery scene in Mid-City and the Bywater, a cluster of working distilleries producing Louisiana rum and rye, and the River Road plantation wineries less than an hour upriver, your tasting group has no shortage of stops to make. The problem is making all of them without picking a designated driver, hunting for street parking at every taproom door, or watching your group splinter into separate rideshares somewhere on Tchoupitoulas. A New Orleans party bus rental takes care of all of it.

Providing Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, Party Bus New Orleans LA has been booking group transportation for tasting tours, pub crawls, and spirits experiences across the Greater New Orleans area. We know which breweries require curbside drop-off on Tchoupitoulas Street, which distilleries on Magazine Street have limited lot space for oversized vehicles, and how early you need to claim your spot before a Friday tap takeover or a Saturday Jazz Fest weekend fills every inch of Mid-City parking. That history means a smoother tour for your group — fewer surprises at the curb, and one flat rate from the first pour to the last one.

What Booking Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation With Party Bus New Orleans LA Looks Like
Bus Options Perfect for Any Winery or Brewery Tour in New Orleans, Louisiana
The right vehicle depends on how many people are in your group and how many stops are on the list. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo works well for a small bachelorette group hitting three or four stops along Magazine Street, with USB charging and tinted windows to keep the vibe contained between venues. A 25- to 35-passenger minibus fits a larger birthday group making the rounds from NOLA Brewing in the Garden District to Wayward Owl in Mid-City, with plush reclining seats and A/C for the ride back.
For corporate buyouts or large reunion groups covering a full day of Bayou Country tastings, a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus has undercarriage storage for purchased bottles and cases — so nothing gets forgotten in an Uber trunk. Call 504-552-3110 and we will match you with the right fit.

New Orleans Brewery Crawl Bus Rentals: Mid-City, the Bywater, and Beyond
New Orleans has built a legitimate craft beer scene, and the best of it is concentrated within a handful of neighborhoods — which makes a brewery crawl both doable and parking-dependent without a bus. NOLA Brewing Company (3001 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70115) anchors the Garden District side, with a sprawling tap room and tour schedule that draws big groups on weekends. Urban South Brewery (1645 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70130) sits a few minutes south, specializing in accessible craft lagers and fruit sours with a crowd-friendly patio.
Cross the city to reach Wayward Owl Brewing (1517 Pritchard Pl, New Orleans, LA 70115) in Mid-City for a more neighborhood tap room feel, or continue to Courtyard Brewery (1020 Erato St, New Orleans, LA 70130) tucked into a converted Central City warehouse. Tchoupitoulas Street has near-zero curbside parking on a Saturday afternoon. Your New Orleans party bus rental drops the group at each taproom entrance and handles every re-park, so nobody is circling for 20 minutes between pints.
River Road Winery Day Trips: Wine Country an Hour From the French Quarter
Louisiana does not have Napa Valley terrain, but the River Road corridor between New Orleans and Baton Rouge is home to several working wineries worth a day trip, and the drive itself — past antebellum plantation houses and live oak alleys draped in Spanish moss — is part of the experience. Feliciana Cellars in Clinton and Pontchartrain Vineyards (81250 Old Military Hwy, Bush, LA 70431) north of Lake Pontchartrain produce muscadine-forward wines from Louisiana-grown grapes and offer guided tastings and winery tours. The drive up I-10 and then north on LA-22 or US-61 takes roughly an hour each way, which is long enough that anyone who wants to taste — and everyone should — needs a designated bus.
A charter bus rental out of New Orleans handles the highway miles, waits at the winery while your group tours the grounds, and gets everyone back to the city without anyone doing math on how much they had. Call 504-552-3110 to plan the route.
New Orleans Distillery Tours: Rum, Rye, and Louisiana Spirits
New Orleans has a legitimate claim as the cocktail capital of the country, and several working distilleries in and around the city let you see where the spirits come from. Old New Orleans Rum (2815 Frenchmen St, New Orleans, LA 70122) in the Marigny produces award-winning aged and spiced rums and offers distillery tours with tastings inside a converted warehouse steps from the live music corridor on Frenchmen Street. Roulaison Distilling Co. (2045 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70130) in the Garden District crafts small-batch rum from Louisiana sugarcane and has quickly become one of the city's most-booked distillery tour stops.
For the full historical picture, Sazerac House (101 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA 70130) in the CBD offers a self-guided tour through four floors of New Orleans cocktail history with complimentary spirit tastings — no reservation required and no parking anywhere near Magazine Street on a weekend. Your New Orleans bus rental drops the group at the Sazerac House door, waits nearby, and is ready when the tasting floor closes.
Tales of the Cocktail and Louisiana Beer Festivals: Group Transportation When Every Rideshare Surges
Tales of the Cocktail, held each July in the French Quarter, is one of the most attended spirits industry events in the world — drawing bartenders, distillers, and enthusiasts to the Hotel Monteleone (214 Royal St) and satellite venues across the Quarter for a full week of seminars, tastings, and cocktail competitions. French Quarter parking disappears entirely during Tales week, and rideshare demand spikes from morning through last call. A charter bus or minibus rental keeps your group moving between venue walkthroughs at midnight without the scramble for rides.
Brewniversary at NOLA Brewing in May and the Crescent City Beer Festival at Champions Square in the fall draw thousands to compact venues where parking is genuinely impossible. For any of these dates, book your New Orleans bus rental at least six to eight weeks ahead — fleet availability compresses fast around major festival weekends in the city. Call 504-552-3110 to lock in your date before the window closes.
Build a Custom Tasting Itinerary: Breweries, Distilleries, and Cocktail Bars in One Day
The best tours mix genres — a distillery in the Garden District, a craft brewery in Mid-City, a cocktail bar on Frenchmen Street, and maybe a finale at the bar that started the Sazerac. Party Bus New Orleans LA puts together custom multi-stop tasting itineraries around your group's preferences and timeline, with pickups from hotels in the CBD, the French Quarter, and Uptown. Tell us your headcount, your preferred neighborhoods, and whether you want to finish near Frenchmen Street or back on Bourbon, and we will work out the routing and confirm stop-by-stop drop-off logistics before your departure day.
The bus is yours for the block of hours you book — so if the group wants to linger longer at Roulaison or add an unplanned detour to a Magazine Street wine bar, the itinerary bends without anyone calling for a car. Call 504-552-3110 or get an instant quote online today.

Booked the bus for a day of tasting and hopping between spots and it was the perfect way to do it. Nobody had to drive, we kept the music going between stops, and the bus was comfortable for relaxing after each one. Getting around New Orleans without worrying about parking or directions made the whole day easy. The reservation was quick and they confirmed the route. Such a fun outing.

Did a pub crawl with a group of friends and the bus tied the whole night together. We bounced between places without anyone playing designated driver, the sound system kept the vibe up, and there was plenty of room to relax between stops. Coordinating the pickups around New Orleans was easy and on time. Honestly the smartest way to do a crawl. Already planning the next one.

Adelina K.
Took the bus on a tasting tour for a birthday and it was wonderful. Comfortable seats to settle into between stops, easy bluetooth for the playlist, and absolutely no stress about who'd drive home. We saw a bit of New Orleans along the way and everyone just got to enjoy the day. Booking was simple and they were flexible with our timing. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat.

Thaddeus O.
Rented it for a crawl with about a dozen people and it made everything seamless. We hit several spots, kept the group together, and never once worried about parking or getting separated. The bus was clean and roomy, and the ride between places was part of the fun. Setting up the reservation took five minutes and they confirmed the details. A genuinely great day out with friends.
Frequently Asked Questions About our New Orleans Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services
How many stops can we make on a brewery or distillery tour with a bus?
As many as your time block allows. Most tasting tours cover three to six stops in a four- to six-hour rental window, depending on how long the group lingers at each venue. When you call 504-552-3110, tell us your start time, end point, and must-see stops — we will help you sequence the route so travel time between venues is minimal and nobody is rushing a tasting flight.
Can the bus wait while we are inside a brewery or distillery?
Yes. The bus is reserved as a block of hours, so it waits near each venue while your group tours the taproom or sits through a guided distillery walkthrough. You are not on a shuttle schedule — the bus moves when your group is ready, not when a timer runs out.
For venues with limited nearby waiting space, like the Sazerac House on Magazine Street, we confirm the plan in advance.
What vehicle size works best for a group of 10 to 15 people on a tasting crawl?
A 14-passenger Sprinter limo or a compact 15-passenger minibus is the right fit for a group that size. Both are easier to park near tight Mid-City or Garden District taproom locations than a full charter bus, and both carry enough cooler space and overhead storage for any purchases you pick up along the way. Call 504-552-3110 and we will confirm the best match for your headcount and stops.
How far in advance should I book brewery tour transportation in New Orleans?
For standard weekends, two to four weeks is workable. For high-demand periods — Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Tales of the Cocktail in July, and fall festival weekends — book six to eight weeks out at minimum. Fleet supply in New Orleans fills up quickly around major events, and bachelorette groups, wedding parties, and corporate buyouts compete for the same Saturday vehicles.
The earlier you call, the better the selection.
Can we bring purchased bottles on the bus after visiting a winery or distillery?
Absolutely. Charter buses and minibuses in our network have overhead storage and, on full-size coaches, undercarriage luggage bays — both are ideal for cases of wine from Pontchartrain Vineyards or bottles from Old New Orleans Rum without worrying about breakage. Just let us know ahead of time if your group is planning significant purchases so we can confirm the right vehicle has enough storage.
Do you handle transportation to breweries outside New Orleans, like Abita Brewing in Abita Springs?
Yes. Abita Brewing Company (166 Barbee Rd, Abita Springs, LA 70420) is about 45 minutes north of the city across Lake Pontchartrain via the I-10 bridge — a straightforward charter bus run that pairs well with a Northshore afternoon. We coordinate pickups in New Orleans, the drive up, time at the Abita brewery and tour center, and the return trip.
