Captain Jacks Tours-why pay for a limo and flat screens. Are you going for wine tasting or to watch TV? Reasonable rates compared to a limo.

Be aware that many wineries will not allow groups of that size for tasting. Your best bet is to go with a tour operator that can set up private tastings for you or call ahead to the wineries you would like to visit to set it up yourself. Also realize than many folks go out there to actually taste wine, not to party so be respectful and realize you are not going out to the bars, but tasting rooms.

Check out Limousine Link, they have a really nice bus. Did a tour in their stretch Hummer a few years back with friends and had a blast.

Rockstar; without a doubt! They can do the deal for you! Word of caution! Most wineries simply will not allow you to just pop in with a group your size, and most wineries are not open to large party hardy groups at all. Large groups are just to disruptive and chase wine buyers away from there sales tasting rooms. Best bet, pick six to ten of your friends and have a limited day wine tasting, or better yet pick just a total of six to a Mini-Van and stop at any winery you like!

Why give someone a hard time for expressing good humor?

yes, have heard from those in the business that they really dislike Party Buses; you are going to their place of business and not to a party. I agree to the idea of cutting down the trip to only those who appreciate good wine, leave the partiers at home for another venue.

A family member worked at a winery and they dreaded party buses because the participants were often drunk, rude, greedy, loud, you name it. Have a good birthday, but please, please make sure you and your guests behave.

As an SYV resident with several friends in the wine industry, we are really weary of the large party buses. People come up to get drunk, not taste wine and they disrupt the tasting rooms, don't generally buy much wine or even appreciate wine much and scare off serious wine buyers. The smaller tasting rooms often only have one or two employees working and can't manage a big crowd. This was never meant to be a pub crawl and why many wineries turn away large groups or only serve them during off hours by private invitation if at all.

Lately I've heard stories from friends working the tasting rooms of a person asking for a "to go" cup for her wine and others walking up and down the streets in Los Olivos with full glasses of wine. The party atmosphere is out of hand.
