If You're Headed to Lodi Wine Country, a Bus Makes Every Stop Better
If your group is planning a day in the Lodi AVA — home to more than 85 wineries and some of California's most celebrated old-vine Zinfandel — renting a bus from Ceres makes the whole day work. Lodi is roughly 40 miles northwest of Ceres on SR-99, about 45 to 55 minutes depending on Stockton-area traffic. Instead of splitting your group across multiple cars and rotating a designated driver between stops, one bus handles the whole group from pickup to last pour.
You can move freely between Michael David Winery (4580 W Highway 12, Lodi, CA 95242), Oak Farm Vineyards (23627 N DeVries Rd, Lodi, CA 95242), and Harney Lane Winery (9010 E Harney Ln, Lodi, CA 95240) without anyone worrying about the drive home. Compare minibuses and party buses for your Lodi date at 350-238-1850!
Cross Into the Sierra Foothills — Ironstone Vineyards and Amador County Await
Cross the valley floor east of Ceres and the wine country gets dramatically more scenic. Murphys, California — about 47 miles east via SR-108 and SR-4 — is home to Ironstone Vineyards (1894 Six Mile Rd, Murphys, CA 95247), one of the most spectacular winery destinations in the state, with 10,000 square feet of underground wine caves, a Heritage Museum, and sweeping grounds. The road east of Angels Camp involves grades and curves, which makes a nimble minibus the smarter pick for navigating Murphys' compact downtown and the surrounding winery roads.
For Amador County's Shenandoah Valley — about 65 miles northeast via SR-99 to SR-16 — Sobon Estate (14430 Shenandoah Rd, Plymouth, CA 95669) and Shenandoah Vineyards (12300 Steiner Rd, Plymouth, CA 95669) sit along rural two-lane roads where a smaller vehicle is simply the easier ride. Compare your options at 350-238-1850!
For Quick and Easy Livermore Valley Wine Tours, One Bus Beats Five Cars each time
For quick and easy access to one of the Bay Area's premier wine regions, Livermore Valley sits about 53 miles west of Ceres via SR-99 and I-580 — roughly an hour on a clear day. The drive crosses the Altamont Pass and drops into the Tri-Valley, where 42 wineries with tasting rooms line Tesla Road and Mines Road. Wente Vineyards (5565 Tesla Rd, Livermore, CA 94550), the oldest continuously operated family winery in the United States, and Concannon Vineyard (4590 Tesla Rd, Livermore, CA 94550) are both accessible to full-size charter buses on the valley's wider roads — so a 56-passenger motorcoach works beautifully for a large group making a day of it.
No one navigates I-580 after a full afternoon of tastings. A bus handles the Altamont Pass while your group handles the conversation. Get a quote at 350-238-1850!

Ceres sits within easy reach of four distinct wine regions. The Lodi AVA is the closest at roughly 40 miles northwest — about 45 to 55 minutes on SR-99. Calaveras County's Murphys area is about 47 miles away, and Amador County's Shenandoah Valley is about 65 miles away, in different directions to the east.
Livermore Valley is approximately 53 miles west via SR-99 and I-580. All four are comfortable day-trip distances from Ceres with a bus handling the driving.
For the Sierra Foothills routes — SR-4 into Murphys and the Shenandoah Valley roads in Amador County — a minibus or sprinter van is generally the better fit. The mountain grades east of Angels Camp and the narrow two-lane roads winding between Amador County tasting rooms are easier to navigate in a smaller vehicle. Full-size charter buses work well for flatter runs to Lodi and Livermore.
Mention your destination when you request your quote and the network will match you with the right vehicle!
Absolutely — multi-stop itineraries are one of the most common wine tour setups booked through the network. You set the stops, you set the order, and the bus follows your schedule. Whether you want three tasting rooms in Lodi or a full day hitting Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys plus two stops on the way back, the bus runs your itinerary.
Just list your planned stops when you fill out the quote form so the pricing reflects your full route!
Book as early as you can — ideally four to six weeks out for most wine tour dates, and further ahead for fall harvest season. October is the busiest month for wine country transportation across the Central Valley, Lodi, and the Sierra Foothills, as harvest events and crush-season tours fill the calendar fast. Weekends in September and October book out quickly across the network.
The earlier you compare and lock in your bus, the more vehicle options you'll have and the better the pricing you're likely to find!
For groups that want the celebration to start the moment they leave Ceres, a party bus is a fantastic choice! Party buses come with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating — so the energy is high from the first pickup through the last winery stop. They work especially well for bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, and groups heading to Lodi where the roads are wide and flat.
