Wine Tours to Waconia's Wineries and Breweries Made Simple
With Bloomingtonmncharterbusservices.com, booking a bus to Minnesota's most group-friendly wine destination is incredibly easy! The Waconia area, about 35 miles west of Bloomington via US-212, is home to Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery — one of the few spots in the state where your group can taste wine AND locally crafted beer under one roof — and Parley Lake Winery (8280 Parley Lake Rd, Waconia, MN 55387), a scenic lakeside property known for its Marquette and La Crescent varieties. Both properties have gravel lots with room for a bus to park while your group tastes.
At Schram Vineyards, groups arriving by bus need a booked group experience or prior approval, and parties over 8 cannot use the public spaces for a large-group gathering without a reservation or alternative arrangement; the Schram Vineyards group-visit page carries the current group options. Your bus makes Schram an early stop with the group visit already set up, instead of risking an unapproved large-party arrival. At Parley Lake Winery, groups of 8 or more with organized transportation need arrangements at least one week before arrival, and unexpected groups may not be accommodated; the Parley Lake Winery visit page gives the current group-transportation rule.
Your bus rolls in after that lead time with a scheduled tasting instead of a maybe-at-the-door arrival. Instead of splitting into a caravan of cars on US-212, one bus keeps everyone together from Bloomington to the last pour. Compare available vehicles and get your quote in seconds!
The Drive to Alexis Bailly and Cannon River Winery Is Better on a Bus
The southeast corridor from Bloomington is home to two of Minnesota's most celebrated wineries, and a bus makes the whole day easier! Alexis Bailly Vineyard (18200 Kirby Ave, Hastings, MN 55033) — one of the oldest vineyards in the state — sits about 30 miles south via US-61, open seasonally from May through October on its gravel-lot property outside Hastings. Another 10 miles southeast, Cannon River Winery (421 Mill St W, Cannon Falls, MN 55009) pours award-winning wines in a restored 1920s building in downtown Cannon Falls, with groups unloading curbside on Mill St W. Call ahead to both wineries when you have a group of 20 or more — and let your bus handle the US-61 drive so everyone can enjoy the tasting!
On Your Way to Saint Croix Vineyards and Stillwater? Bring a Minibus
On the eastern end of the Twin Cities metro, the St. Croix River valley delivers some of the most scenic wine country in Minnesota — and a minibus is often the smartest vehicle for the trip! Saint Croix Vineyards (6428 Manning Ave N, Stillwater, MN 55082) is about 45 miles northeast of Bloomington via I-494 East and I-94 East, with a parking lot on site and a tasting room open year-round. Stillwater itself is a charming river town with narrow streets, and a 15- to 25-passenger minibus is far easier to maneuver through downtown than a full-size coach.
Through Bloomingtonmncharterbusservices.com, you can compare minibus options sized to your group and find exactly what works for the Stillwater run. Get your quote online in seconds!
Coordinating a Wine and Brewery Combo Tour Around the Twin Cities
Coordinating a full-day tour that mixes wineries AND breweries is one of the most popular requests for Bloomington wine tour groups — and Bloomingtonmncharterbusservices.com makes it easy to find a bus that keeps the whole itinerary moving! Start with a morning tasting at Schram Vineyards in Waconia, then head back toward the city for an afternoon stop at Surly Brewing Co. (520 Malcolm Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414), a destination brewery with a large, bus-accommodating lot and a full restaurant. Cap the evening at one of the Northeast Minneapolis taprooms before your bus brings everyone back to the hotel corridor along I-494.
One vehicle, one flat rate, no one figuring out who's driving. Compare available buses and get instant pricing from a network of Twin Cities transportation companies!
If You're Planning a Fall Harvest Tour, Book Your Bus Early

The Waconia cluster — Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery and Parley Lake Winery, both about 35 miles west via US-212 — is the most group-friendly destination near Bloomington, with large gravel lots that accommodate buses. Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings (30 miles south on US-61) and Cannon River Winery in Cannon Falls (40 miles southeast) are popular seasonal stops. Saint Croix Vineyards in Stillwater is open year-round and about 45 miles northeast.
Call ahead to any winery when bringing a group of 20 or more.
Most of the major winery destinations are 30–45 miles from Bloomington. The Waconia area (Schram Vineyards, Parley Lake Winery) is about 35 miles west via US-212. Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings is roughly 30 miles south on US-61.
Cannon River Winery in Cannon Falls is about 40 miles southeast via US-52. Saint Croix Vineyards in Stillwater is approximately 45 miles northeast via I-494 East and I-94 East. A bus handles all of those drives while your group relaxes — no one watching the road instead of enjoying the scenery.
For most friend groups and bachelorette parties (8–15 people), a sprinter van or 15-passenger minibus is the perfect fit — compact enough for rural winery roads and downtown Stillwater's narrow streets. Groups of 16–30 do well in a 25- to 35-passenger minibus. If you're heading to a single destination like Schram Vineyards with a large corporate group, a full-size coach works too.
Through Bloomingtonmncharterbusservices.com, you can compare all of these options side by side and choose the one that fits your headcount!
Book as early as you can — especially for fall harvest season (late September through October), which is the busiest stretch of the year for Minnesota winery tours. Popular minibuses and sprinter vans on autumn weekends fill weeks in advance. Summer weekends (June through August) book quickly too.
Year-round wine tours are possible at Schram Vineyards and Cannon River Winery, with winter dates typically offering more availability. The earlier you compare and lock in your bus through Bloomingtonmncharterbusservices.com, the better your options and pricing!
