Bachelorette Parties Are Ditching the Limo Bus—Here's What They're Doing Instead
Hint: It involves vintage VWs, boutique wineries, and way better photos.
Let's be honest: the oversized limo bus moment has passed.
You know the one—40-foot stretch, disco lights, screaming down Highway 29 with "Bride Tribe" sashes flapping out the windows. It's been done.
The modern bachelorette party wants something different. Something that feels them. Intimate, Instagram-worthy, and a little bit unexpected. Which is exactly why bride tribes are trading in those tacky buses for our fleet of restored VW buses.
Why VWs Are the Move
Picture this: You and your favorite humans cruising through vineyard-lined backroads in a vintage VW bus, windows down, good music playing, passing a bottle of rosé. You pull up to a family-owned winery and everyone immediately wants photos in front of the bus. Because of course they do—it's objectively cooler than any limo you've ever seen.
Our fleet of 4 VW buses hold up to 28 people (perfect for keeping the whole crew together), but they don't feel like you're on a tour bus. They feel like you borrowed your cool aunt's vintage ride for the weekend. Cozy blankets, phone chargers, cold water, snacks—we've thought of everything so you don't have to.
Effortlessly cool meets totally comfortable. Which is exactly what you want when you're celebrating your person.
Your Day, Your Way
Here's where we're different from those cookie-cutter bachelorette packages: we actually let you customize everything.
The Tastings: We hit three wineries—intimate, boutique spots where you're not crammed elbow-to-elbow with other wine tours. Want to focus on sparkling wine since the bride loves bubbles? Done. Need a spot that can accommodate your gluten-free, vegan bridesmaid? We got you.
The Lunch: Included in your tour price and completely personalized. We pick up fresh, locally-made food from our favorite deli and deliver it right to your tasting table. You're literally eating gourmet sandwiches at a winery while sipping wine. It's the kind of casual luxury that makes for the best bachelorette moments.
The Details: Bringing decorations for the bus? Please do. Want to surprise the bride with something special at one of the stops? We love a good surprise. Have a specific winery you've been dying to visit? Tell us when you book and we'll make it happen.
What to Actually Wear
Ditch the matching "Drunk in Love" tank tops (unless that's genuinely your vibe—no judgment). Wine Country bachelorette style has evolved into something way more chic:
Flowy dresses or jumpsuits in neutral tones
Matching accessories instead of matching outfits (think straw hats or silk scarves)
Comfortable shoes you can actually walk in (vineyards = gravel)
A pop of color for the bride so she stands out in photos
The VW bus gives you built-in aesthetics, so you don't need to try as hard with the costumes.
The Moments That Matter
We've watched a lot of bachelorette parties unfold in our buses. And you know what makes them special? It's not the amount of wine consumed or how many wineries you hit.
It's the conversations that happen in the back of the bus between stops. The way everyone actually stays together instead of splitting up at a crowded tasting room. The spontaneous sing-alongs. The tearful toast the maid of honor gives at lunch. The moment the bride realizes her favorite people all showed up for her.
Our job is to create the space for those moments. You bring the love; we bring the wheels and the wine knowledge.

Why It Works
Because at the end of the day, bachelorette parties aren't about checking boxes or recreating someone else's Pinterest board. They're about celebrating your friend in a way that actually feels authentic to who she is.
If she's the type who'd rather cruise through Wine Country in a vintage VW than shout over a DJ in a limo, we're your people.
