Lincoln Winery Tour & Pub Crawl Party Bus Rentals
Lincoln's craft beverage scene has quietly become one of the best reasons to spend a weekend exploring the city — and the surrounding Nebraska countryside holds more than a few surprises for wine lovers willing to make the drive. A Lincoln winery and brewery tour bus rental keeps your entire tasting crew together from the first pour to the last call, with no one stuck playing the role of designated driver and no one left behind at a packed taproom on O Street. Call 502-242-0101 or use our 30-second online quote tool today to lock in your Lincoln tour bus rental!
Providing Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, Party Bus Lincoln has handled hundreds of craft beverage tour groups across Lancaster County and beyond. We know which Lincoln taprooms are packed by 6 p.m. on a Friday, which Southeast Nebraska wineries sit far enough out on winding two-lane roads that you really don't want someone navigating after two glasses of Chambourcin, and which distilleries ask groups to RSVP ahead of time. That on-the-ground knowledge is what you get when you book with us — not just a vehicle, but a solid plan that accounts for the real logistics of moving a group of 15 or 40 people across multiple stops without the scramble.

What Booking Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation With Party Bus Lincoln Looks Like
Bus Options Perfect for Any Winery or Brewery Tour in Lincoln, Nebraska
A pub crawl through the Railyard or Haymarket District calls for something different than a half-day wine country drive south toward Clatonia. That's why we offer a range of vehicles — from 14-passenger Sprinter limos with onboard bars and mood lighting, to 15-35 passenger minibuses with reclining seats and powerful A/C for longer hauls, up to 40-56 passenger charter buses with undercarriage storage for those bringing along a full picnic spread. Tell us your headcount and your stops, and we'll match you with the right vehicle.
You never pay for seats you don't actually need.

Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services Available in Lincoln, Nebraska and the Following Cities
Party Bus Lincoln runs tour transportation across the greater Lincoln metro and beyond. Whether you're organizing a taproom crawl right here in Lincoln, a wine country afternoon out of Omaha, or a group drive from Beatrice up through the Clatonia area vineyards, we cover the route. We also serve nearby communities including Omaha, Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, and Fremont.
Long-distance wine trail runs up to Nebraska City — home to several orchard wineries along the Missouri River corridor — are well within our service area. Wherever the Nebraska craft trail takes your group, we'll get everyone there and back. Call 502-242-0101 to discuss your route.
Lincoln's Taproom Scene Deserves a Better Way to Get Around
Hitting three or four of Lincoln's best craft taprooms in one night along O Street and the Railyard is a great idea until someone has to drive. Zipline Brewing Co. (2100 Magnum Circle, Lincoln, NE 68522) fills up fast on weekends, and Blue Blood Brewing Co. (500 W South St, Lincoln, NE 68522) doesn't have the parking situation to support a caravan of five cars showing up at once. A Lincoln brewery tour party bus rental solves both problems — your group loads in one spot, parks once (at your starting point), and stops at every taproom on the list without anyone watching their pour count.
The bus waits nearby at each stop and picks you up when you're ready. That's the pub crawl that actually works.
Nebraska Wine Country Day Trips Are Worth the Drive — If Someone Else Is Driving
The Nebraska Winery Trail runs through some genuinely beautiful Southeast Nebraska countryside, and the wineries along it are a real departure from the O Street scene. James Arthur Vineyards (2001 W Raymond Rd, Raymond, NE 68428) sits about 20 minutes north of Lincoln and produces one of the most recognized Nebraska labels, while Cuthills Vineyards has a tasting room in Lincoln and an estate further north. The problem is that most of these properties sit on winding county roads where GPS confidence and driving confidence part ways after a few pours.
A winery tour bus rental out of Lincoln handles every mile of those county roads — your group shares every tasting, every view, and every bottle without anyone calculating whether they're okay to drive back on Highway 34.
Lincoln's Craft Distilleries Make for a Focused, Memorable Tour Stop
Nebraska's distilling scene is smaller than its brewing world, but what's here is worth building a stop around. Empirical Spirits and local craft producers have helped put Nebraska craft spirits on the map, and a distillery tasting is a different pace than a taproom — longer, more deliberate, with cocktail samples and production tours that genuinely take time. Building a distillery stop into a broader Lincoln craft beverage tour is the move, and a minibus rental keeps the logistics simple.
You're not rushing anyone out because one person needs to stay sober. Everyone samples the single-barrel selection, the tour ends when it ends, and the bus is right there when your group wraps up. Call 502-242-0101 to add a distillery stop to your itinerary.
Nebraska Beer & Wine Festivals Are Busiest When Parking Is Worst
The Nebraska Craft Beer Festival and Omaha's Benson First Friday events draw craft beverage crowds that routinely overwhelm the available street parking and push rideshare surge prices to frustrating heights. Closer to home, Lincoln's Railyard hosts seasonal beer garden events and Husker football weekends where the Haymarket becomes gridlocked hours before any festival officially starts. A party bus rental in Lincoln for festival days means your group arrives together, parks once well before the crunch, and doesn't spend half the afternoon circling the Antelope Valley Freeway corridor looking for a legal spot.
When the festival ends and the surge pricing kicks in for everyone else, your bus is already there and waiting. Book well ahead for Husker home games and summer festival weekends — those dates fill our calendar faster than any other.
Build Your Own Lincoln Craft Beverage Tour Itinerary — We'll Handle the Rest
Not every group wants a preset route. Some want brewery-only, some want to mix taprooms with a winery stop and a distillery finish, and some want to drive all the way out to Raymond for the James Arthur Vineyards tour before circling back to Zipline for the evening. Tell us your stops, your start time, and your rough timeline, and we'll work out the details — which order makes geographic sense, how much time to budget at each stop, and where the bus waits while you're inside.
A Lincoln winery and brewery tour bus rental through Party Bus Lincoln gives you one person to call from your first quote through the final drop-off, with no guesswork about whether everyone's going to make it home. Call 502-242-0101 and let's map out your tour.

Client Reviews of Our Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation in Lincoln
We did a tasting day on the bus and it was the perfect way to enjoy it without anyone having to skip the fun. The group hopped between stops together, the music kept the mood light on the ride, and no one had to worry about getting around. The booking was simple and the bus was comfortable all afternoon. We came home relaxed and happy. Best way to do a tour with friends.

Booked the bus for a pub crawl with a big group and it was the ideal setup. Everyone stayed together, the ride between spots was part of the party, and nobody had to stress about how they were getting home. The reservation was quick and the price split nicely across the group. The inside was roomy and clean. We hit every place on our list and had a blast doing it.

My friends and I took the bus for a winery tour and it turned a fun idea into an amazing day. We could all relax, sip, and enjoy the views around Lincoln while the rolling between stops stayed smooth and on time. The atmosphere on the bus was great and the booking couldn't have been easier. We've already started planning the next one. Such a stress-free way to do it.

We organized a pub crawl for a birthday and the bus made it. No one had to bow out as the designated ride, everyone got to enjoy the night, and the group stayed together the whole crawl. The bus was comfortable and the music had us going between stops. Setting it up was fast and the cost was very reasonable. It was the easiest and most fun way to do the whole thing.
Frequently Asked Questions About our Lincoln Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services
How many people can ride on a winery or brewery tour bus in Lincoln?
Our fleet covers groups from about 14 up to 56 passengers. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo works well for a birthday group hitting a few Lincoln taprooms. A 25-35 passenger minibus handles a larger bachelorette crew or a corporate outing.
Full-size charter buses make sense for very large groups doing a Nebraska wine trail run. We'll match the right vehicle to your actual headcount so you're not paying for empty seats.
How far will you travel for a winery or brewery tour from Lincoln?
We regularly run wine country routes north to Raymond and the James Arthur Vineyards area, southeast toward Clatonia, and west along the Nebraska wine trail. Longer hauls to Nebraska City or Omaha-area stops are absolutely doable — those routes just affect your quote. Tell us every stop you're considering when you call and we'll price the full route for you.
How far in advance should I book a brewery tour bus in Lincoln?
For regular weekends, two to four weeks of lead time usually secures good vehicle availability. Summer weekends and any date that overlaps with a Husker home game or the Nebraska Craft Beer Festival should be booked six to eight weeks out — those dates move fast across our whole fleet. Bachelorette and birthday groups all competing for the same Saturday are the main reason availability goes quickly.
The earlier you call, the more vehicle options you'll have.
Do you offer flat-rate pricing or hourly rates for brewery tours?
Tour runs are priced on an hourly basis, and you get an all-inclusive quote before you commit to anything. There are no surprises on your bill at the end of the night. Rates vary by vehicle size and the date — a weekend evening in a 25-passenger party bus prices differently than a weekday afternoon in a minibus.
Use our online quote tool for instant pricing, or call 502-242-0101 for a custom itinerary quote.
Can the bus wait for us during a longer tasting at a winery?
Yes — the vehicle is reserved for your block of hours, so it waits nearby for as long as your tasting takes. James Arthur Vineyards tours and seated wine dinners can run two hours or more, and that's built into your booking window. You're not watching the clock worrying about a meter.
Set your itinerary with some buffer time at the stops that matter most, and we'll coordinate the rest around it.
