Renting a charter bus for your next wine tour or pub crawl is the easiest way to keep your group together, on schedule, and focused on fun—not logistics! Palatine Charter Bus is the leading provider of private transportation for winery tours and brewery trips across Chicagoland, including Palatine, Barrington, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, Elgin, and more. Whether you’re planning a day trip to local favorites like Lynfred Winery, Broken Oar Marina Bar ∓ Grill, or Church Street Brewing Company—or organizing a weekend getaway to Illinois Wine Country—we’ll make sure everyone travels together in one vehicle with a driver handling the road. You set the itinerary, and we provide the perfect bus at the perfect price—every time.
Why Choose Palatine Charter Bus for Your Next Wine Tour or Pub Crawl?
When you book with Palatine Charter Bus, you get a company that’s done this before—hundreds of times. We’ve helped bachelor parties hit every brewery in Lake County without splitting up, corporate groups host team-building wine tastings in McHenry County, and birthday groups toast their way through downtown Arlington Heights—all without anyone worrying about who’s driving home. Our fleet includes vehicles of every size, so you can bring a small group of friends or a large organization and still get exactly the bus you need. And because we operate 24/7, your trip runs on your schedule—not ours.
Custom Itineraries Built Around Your Favorite Stops
One of the best things about renting a bus for a wine tour or pub crawl is that you get to call the shots. There’s no such thing as a “standard” route when you book with us—every itinerary is built from scratch based on the stops you want to make. Planning a DIY brewery crawl through downtown Palatine? We’ll wait while you sample flights at Tap House Grill, Emmett’s Brewing Company, and Durty Nellie’s. Heading out of town for a vineyard tour? Your driver will stick to your timetable and make sure everyone gets back to the hotel safely at the end of the day. You set the schedule, and we make it happen.
Comfortable, Modern Buses With Room for Everyone
No matter how many people you’re traveling with, we have a vehicle that will fit your group comfortably. Our fleet includes everything from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size coaches, so you can bring a few close friends or your entire office staff. Larger buses come equipped with cushioned seats, climate control, overhead storage racks, and onboard restrooms—perfect for longer trips out to wine country. Smaller buses offer the same comfortable seating and storage space in a more compact package that’s ideal for navigating city streets. Either way, you’ll have plenty of room to relax between stops and enjoy the ride.
Onboard Amenities Make the Journey Part of the Fun
Half the fun of a wine tour or pub crawl is spending time with friends between stops—and our buses come loaded with amenities to help you do just that. Stretch out in reclining seats while you compare tasting notes from the last vineyard, or crank up the sound system and get the party started early with your favorite playlist. Select models include flat-screen monitors with DVD players, perfect for showing a slideshow of last year’s trip or previewing the next stop on the itinerary. There’s even free Wi-Fi available on most buses, so you can share photos on social media and keep track of the day’s schedule without burning through your data plan.
Private Groups Stay Together and Travel Safely
Public wine tours and brewery shuttles are fine for couples and small groups—but if you’re traveling with a crowd, nothing beats having a private bus of your own. You’ll never have to worry about missing the last shuttle of the day or getting separated from the rest of your party. Better still, a private bus means no one has to draw the short straw and volunteer as designated driver. Everyone can sample that extra glass of Pinot Noir or try the barrel-aged stout without worrying about how they’ll get back to the hotel. It’s the safest, most convenient way to experience Illinois’ craft beverage scene.
Serving Palatine, Chicagoland, and Beyond
Palatine Charter Bus is based in Palatine and proudly serves the entire Chicagoland area—including suburban hubs like Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, and Barrington. Popular destinations within easy driving distance include Lynfred Winery in Roselle, Cooper’s Hawk Winery ∓ Restaurant in Arlington Heights, and the cluster of breweries around downtown Long Grove. Planning a longer excursion? We’re happy to provide multi-day transportation to the Illinois River Wine Trail, Galena Cellars Vineyard, or even out-of-state hotspots like Michigan’s Harbor Country. Just tell us where you want to go, and we’ll get you there.
