New Orleans Wine Tour & Pub Crawl Bus Rental Service
New Orleans runs on its own clock, and its craft beverage scene runs just as deep as its music — from taprooms tucked inside converted warehouses in the Bywater to sugarcane-based rums distilled steps from the French Quarter. New Orleans Party Bus makes it easy to pull your group together and hit every pour without sorting out who's sober enough to drive home on Tchoupitoulas Street at midnight.

Providing Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, New Orleans Party Bus has moved hundreds of tasting groups across New Orleans and the surrounding parishes — from bachelorette parties hitting the craft cocktail bars along Magazine Street to corporate groups bouncing between the distilleries clustered near the New Orleans BioDistrict. Over more than a decade handling these tours, we know which Bywater blocks get tight on a Saturday afternoon, which Frenchmen Street parking situation will eat 45 minutes of your evening, and how to sequence a multi-stop itinerary so nobody spends the whole night waiting for the group to reassemble. That experience is what makes one call to 504-459-0899 the simplest thing you'll do all day.
What Booking Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation With New Orleans Party Bus Looks Like
Bus Options Perfect for Any Winery or Brewery Tour in New Orleans, Louisiana
A New Orleans brewery tour bus rental isn't one-size-fits-all. A birthday crew of twelve heading to three Uptown taprooms fits neatly in a 14-passenger Sprinter limo — onboard bar stocked, music queued, no parking drama at any stop. A corporate group of 35 doing a spirits circuit through the Central Business District lands better in a 35-passenger minibus with overhead storage for tasting kits and climate control for the Louisiana heat.
For larger tour groups — think 50-person harvest festivals or wholesale buyer trips — a full 56-passenger charter bus covers the distance and carries everyone in one coordinated move. Call 504-459-0899 and we'll match your headcount to the right bus.

New Orleans Party Bus sets up tasting tours and craft beverage excursions throughout the greater New Orleans metro and across Southeast Louisiana.

We also run pickups from Kenner, Slidell, and the North Shore — so if your group is scattered across Jefferson and St. Tammany Parishes, one bus collects everyone and the tour starts from the moment you board.

Raise a Glass: New Orleans Brewery Tours & Taproom Crawls by Bus
New Orleans has quietly become one of the South's strongest craft beer cities, and trying to navigate it by car on a Saturday is its own kind of punishment. NOLA Brewing Company (3001 Tchoupitoulas St) anchors the scene with a sprawling taproom and regular live music, while Wayward Owl Brewing (1517 Tchoupitoulas St) sits just up the street — making Tchoupitoulas Street a natural two-stop anchor for any taproom crawl. Crescent City Brewhouse in the French Quarter (527 Decatur St) draws the tourism crowd but pours solid lagers with a rooftop view of the river.
Parking along Tchoupitoulas is limited and metered, and Decatur Street during peak hours is a slow-motion traffic jam even for locals. A New Orleans brewery tour bus drops your group at each entrance and circles back when you're ready — no one counting drinks, no one stuck navigating one-way streets after a few pints. Call 504-459-0899 to build your taproom route.
Wine Country Day Trips from New Orleans: The Mississippi River Road
Louisiana isn't Napa, but that's exactly the point. The River Road corridor running northwest from New Orleans toward Baton Rouge traces the former sugar plantation belt, and a handful of small estates have turned that agricultural heritage into genuine estate wine and fruit wine experiences. Landry Vineyards in Monroe produces dry reds from hybrid grapes, but closer to the metro, the real draw is the sugarcane wine producers and agritourism estates along LA-18 in St. James and Ascension Parishes.
The drive up from New Orleans runs about 45 to 70 minutes on the two-lane River Road — scenic but narrow, with plantation house tours, cane fields, and very few turnaround points for a group in four separate cars. A charter bus from New Orleans handles the whole stretch cleanly: passengers relax on reclining seats while the River Road scenery rolls by, and everyone arrives together without someone getting separated at the Sunshine Bridge interchange. Call 504-459-0899 for a customized River Road day trip quote.
New Orleans Distillery Tours: Rum, Whiskey & Absinthe in the Crescent City
This city has strong opinions about spirits, and the local distillery scene earns every one of them. Celebration Distillation, home of Old New Orleans Rum (2815 Frenchmen St), produces small-batch rums from Louisiana sugarcane and offers tours of the still house a few blocks off the Marigny. Sazerac House (101 Magazine St) is both a museum and a working distillery in the heart of the CBD, honoring the Sazerac rye whiskey that arguably invented the American cocktail.
Atelier Vie (formerly on Tchoupitoulas) continues producing Louisiana single malt and absinthe. Getting between these addresses by car means fighting the one-way grid of the Quarter and CBD and paying $25 or more per garage stop. A New Orleans distillery tour bus keeps the group moving on a single itinerary — distillery to distillery, no surge-priced rideshare scramble, and no one arriving at Sazerac House already frazzled from the parking situation on Magazine Street.
Call 504-459-0899 to book your spirits circuit today.
Festivals on Tap: Bus Transportation for New Orleans Beer, Wine & Spirits Events
New Orleans doesn't do small festivals, and its food-and-drink events are no exception. The Tales of the Cocktail festival (held every July in the French Quarter and CBD) draws 25,000 bartenders, distillers, and spirits enthusiasts and turns the area around the Hotel Monteleone into a slow-moving sea of people — parking in the Quarter during Tales week is essentially nonexistent, and rideshare surge pricing runs high from afternoon into the early morning. The New Orleans Oyster Festival at Woldenberg Park and the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience (held at venues across the CBD in May) both pull large midday crowds that spike traffic on Poydras Street and Convention Center Boulevard.
A charter bus from New Orleans Party Bus gets your group to these events without the parking scramble — one flat rate, one pickup, and the bus waits while you're inside. For Tales of the Cocktail especially, book 60 to 90 days out — July is peak demand across the entire metro fleet. Call 504-459-0899 to lock in your date.
Custom Winery & Brewery Tour Itineraries Built Around Your Group
The best New Orleans tasting tour is the one nobody had to plan on their own. New Orleans Party Bus works with your group to sequence stops logically — by neighborhood, by opening time, by what the guest of honor actually wants to drink — rather than burning an hour on I-10 between stops that could have been a three-block walk. Tell us your starting point (CBD hotel, Uptown Airbnb, Metairie suburb), your headcount, and your rough wish list — NOLA Brewing, Sazerac House, a Frenchmen Street cocktail bar, Old New Orleans Rum — and our reservation team builds the route. We call ahead to confirm group access where venues require it.
For crawls that end late, the bus waits. Nothing is rushed. The only question is when you want to go — call 504-459-0899 and we'll take it from there.

We did a tasting tour with friends and the bus made it stress-free and so much fun. Nobody had to worry about driving between stops, the music kept the mood light, and there was plenty of room to relax with our drinks. Booking was simple and they kept us right on schedule. We hit every spot we wanted around New Orleans and made it home easy. Such a great way to spend the day together.

Rented the bus for a pub crawl with the group and it was exactly what we needed. We bounced from spot to spot without anyone driving, the speakers kept the party going between stops, and the interior was comfortable and roomy. The reservation was quick and they were right on time all night. Staying together the whole crawl made it way better than meeting up at every place. Loved it.

Booked the bus for a wine tasting day trip with my girlfriends and it was a dream. We could actually enjoy ourselves at every stop without worrying about who's behind the wheel. The bus was clean, the seats were comfy, and the ride was smooth between locations. They confirmed everything ahead and stayed on schedule. We laughed the whole way and got home safe. The perfect way to do a New Orleans tour.

Used the bus for a brewery crawl with a big group and it worked perfectly. Everyone got to taste and relax without anyone stuck driving, and the bus carried us from place to place with the music going. Setting it up was painless and the timing was spot on. There was loads of room and the seats were comfortable. Keeping the whole crew together all day made it a trip we'll remember for a while.
Frequently Asked Questions About our New Orleans Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services
How many people do I need to book a winery or brewery tour bus in New Orleans?
Our fleet covers groups as small as a handful of friends in a Sprinter van all the way up to 56 passengers in a full-size charter bus. There's no group too small if you can fill a Sprinter, and no group too large for our charter fleet. Call 504-459-0899 and we'll match the right vehicle to your exact headcount so you're never paying for empty seats.
How far out should I book for a weekend tasting tour in New Orleans?
For a standard Saturday or Sunday tour, two to three weeks of lead time is usually enough to secure the right vehicle. That changes fast during Jazz Fest (late April through early May), Tales of the Cocktail (July), and Southern Decadence (Labor Day weekend) — those weekends push fleet availability to near zero within 30 days of the date. If your tour falls on or near a major festival, book 60 to 90 days ahead.
Can a charter bus reach the distilleries and wineries outside the city in St. James or Ascension Parish?
Absolutely. Our charter buses and minibuses handle the River Road corridor and the sugarcane estate routes in St. James and Ascension Parishes without any issues. Longer hauls — 45 to 90 minutes each way — are actually where a charter bus earns its keep most, keeping the whole group comfortable and together on roads that get narrow and rural fast.
We build the total round-trip mileage into your all-inclusive quote upfront.
What happens if one of our tasting stops runs long and we fall behind schedule?
We build buffer time into every multi-stop itinerary, and our reservation team is reachable throughout your tour if the plan shifts. If the group decides to linger an extra hour at NOLA Brewing because the music is good, call us and we adjust. There's no rigid clock-out — the bus is booked as a block of hours, and within that window the itinerary is yours to run.
Just keep our team in the loop on timing so the pickup is coordinated.
Is there a minimum number of hours for a winery and brewery tour bus rental in New Orleans?
Rental minimums vary by vehicle type and date, and our team will walk you through the specifics for your particular trip when you call 504-459-0899. In general, tasting tours tend to run four to six hours naturally once you account for travel, time at each stop, and getting everyone back — so the minimum rarely feels like a constraint.
