Frequently asked questions
How much does a wine tour bus cost in Florida?
A wine tour bus in Florida runs 1,400 to 2,400 dollars for a 6-hour block (14 to 25-passenger minibus) and 2,000 to 3,600 dollars for a full 10-hour tour. Rate covers driver, fuel, tolls, standby at each winery, and standard insurance. Winery tasting-room fees (8 to 20 dollars per person) and lunch are billed separately by the venues.
Which wineries can a Florida wine tour visit?
Florida's largest working wineries include Lakeridge Winery (Clermont, Central FL), San Sebastian Winery (St. Augustine, Northeast FL), Rosa Fiorelli Winery (Bradenton, Gulf Coast), Bunker Hill Vineyard (Central FL), Schnebly Redland's Winery (Homestead, South FL), Keel Farms Winery (Tampa area), and Strong Tower Vineyard (Spring Hill). Multi-winery day tours typically cover 3 wineries in one region.
Can we drink wine on the bus between wineries?
Passengers can, driver cannot. Florida open-container law permits alcohol in the passenger cabin of a private charter vehicle when driven by a hired CDL driver. Wineries typically prohibit outside alcohol on their premises so save between-stop drinking for after the tasting room. Water is a good idea between stops; wine tasting hydration is real.
How many wineries fit in a day?
For a 6-hour block: 2 to 3 wineries (75 to 90 minutes per stop plus 30 to 45 minutes between). For an 8-hour block: 3 to 4 wineries. For a 10-hour full-day block: 4 wineries. Attempting more than 4 in a day compresses each stop and rushes the tastings past enjoyment. Better to do 3 quality stops than 5 hurried ones.
When should we book a Florida wine tour?
Book 30 to 60 days ahead for weekend tours. Peak wine-tour weekends are October through April in Florida (comfortable outdoor tasting-room weather). Some Central Florida wineries (Lakeridge, San Sebastian) have annual festivals and grape stomps that book charter buses out 3+ months ahead. Confirm winery hours and reservation policies when booking your charter.
