Providing Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Since 2011
Since 2011, Party Buses Indianapolis has been handling group transportation for tasting tours, pub crawls, and wine country excursions across Central Indiana. Over that time we've seen the local craft scene grow from a handful of taprooms to dozens of breweries, two distillery corridors, and a real winery circuit south and east of the city. That means more stops, more ground to cover, and a stronger case for leaving the driving to someone other than you.
We've run trips from Mass Ave to Broad Ripple, shuttle loops during Indy Brew Week, and full-day wine country routes down US-31. Your group stays together, every tasting is actually enjoyable, and nobody wakes up regretting the drive home. Call 317-229-6481 to get started.
What Booking Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation With Party Buses Indianapolis Looks Like
Bus Options Perfect for Any Winery or Brewery Tour in Indianapolis, Indiana
Not every tasting group is the same size, and we've got the fleet to match whatever yours looks like. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo handles a tight birthday squad hitting three or four Fountain Square taprooms, complete with onboard Bluetooth and premium leather to keep the mood going between pours. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus covers the mid-size crowd — bachelorette parties, corporate team outings, friend-group reunions — with powerful A/C and reclining seats for those longer runs out to Morgan County wineries.
For truly large gatherings, a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus gets your whole group to the Indiana State Fairgrounds for Brewers of Indiana Guild events with undercarriage storage for any gear you're hauling. Whatever the headcount, we match you with the right vehicle so you never pay for seats you don't need. Call 317-229-6481 for an all-inclusive quote.

Party Buses Indianapolis serves Indianapolis and the entire surrounding region, so your tour doesn't have to start or end inside the city limits.

We make winery excursions south toward Bloomington and shuttle groups to craft beverage events in Muncie and Lafayette just as easily.
Whether you need a Carmel party bus for a wine-and-dine evening or a Lafayette bus rental for a group heading to the Brewers of Indiana Guild tent at the State Fair, our vehicles reach the whole metro. Call 317-229-6481 any time for a free, no-obligation quote.
Indianapolis Brewery Crawl Bus Rentals: Fountain Square, Mass Ave & Broad Ripple
Indianapolis's brewery scene clusters in three neighborhoods, and the gap between them is exactly what makes a group bus rental so smart. Fountain Square alone hosts Triptych Brewing (1160 Southeastern Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46202) and sits minutes from Beholder on Virginia Ave. Head north on College Avenue and you're into the Mass Ave Arts District, where Chatterbox Tavern and the always-packed taprooms along the corridor make for a perfect midpoint stop. Push further north and Broad Ripple delivers the last leg — Brugge Brasserie (1011 E Westfield Blvd, Indianapolis, IN 46220) has been pouring Belgian-style ales since 2005.
A party bus in Indianapolis handles all three neighborhoods in one loop while your group keeps the energy up between stops — no designated driver debate, no parking nightmare on College Avenue after 9 PM.
Indiana Wine Country Day Trips: Morgan County & Beyond
Indiana's wine country doesn't get the press that Napa does, but the wineries south and east of Indianapolis are worth the drive — especially when your group isn't doing the driving. Morgan County sits about 45 minutes south on SR-37, and Morandi Winery (4680 N State Road 67, Martinsville, IN 46151) pulls in serious crowds for its weekends, particularly during fall harvest season when September and October bookings fill fast. Further south, the stretch through Brown County pairs fall foliage with tasting rooms for a genuinely scenic day out.
The practical reality: SR-37 through Martinsville and the rural roads into Brown County are not the place to be coordinating four cars in the dark after a full afternoon of tastings. An Indianapolis winery tour bus rental takes all of that off the table — your group boards together, rides together, and gets home together. Call 317-229-6481 to build the route.
Craft Distillery Tours in Indianapolis: Indiana Spirits on the Rise
Indianapolis has made a real name for itself in the craft spirits movement, and the distillery scene around the city gives groups a full afternoon's worth of tasting without leaving the metro. Sunbeam Distillery (135 N College Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46202) sits right in the heart of things, pouring Indiana-made whiskey and gin in a renovated Mid-North building. Over on the west side, Hard Truth Distilling operates a tasting room on the Indianapolis side in addition to its destination campus in Nashville, Indiana.
For groups who want to make a day of it down in Brown County, the Nashville campus (750 E Main St, Nashville, IN 47448) is about 75 minutes from downtown via SR-46 — a great fit for a charter bus in Indianapolis, with undercarriage bays for any bottles you're bringing home. Distillery tours are a lot more fun when nobody in the group has to count their pours. A minibus rental in Indianapolis makes that easy.
Beer, Wine & Spirits Festivals Near Indianapolis: Indy Brew Week & More
Indianapolis has a packed festival calendar for craft beverage fans, and several of those events bring real transportation headaches that a bus solves cleanly. Indy Brew Week runs every September across dozens of participating taprooms citywide — a distributed format that's practically designed for a party bus, since the venues rotate each evening and parking near Fountain Square or Mass Ave on a Friday night is genuinely painful. The Brewers of Indiana Guild's signature events at the Indiana State Fairgrounds (1202 E 38th St, Indianapolis, IN 46205) draw thousands and fill the Fairgrounds parking lots quickly; one charter bus drops your whole group at the gate instead of circling the 38th Street and Fall Creek Parkway corridors for 30 minutes.
The Indiana Wine Fair, typically held each spring in downtown Indianapolis, operates similarly — peak attendance means rideshare surge pricing and zero street parking. Book your Indianapolis party bus rental well ahead of these weekends; available vehicles go fast when the whole city is moving toward the same events. Call 317-229-6481 to hold your date.
Custom Winery & Brewery Tour Itineraries: Build Your Indianapolis Tasting Route
The best Indianapolis tasting tour isn't one someone else designed — it's the one that matches what your group actually wants to drink. Tell us your stops and we'll build the route around them. Maybe it's a morning departure from Carmel, a lunch stop at Metazoa Brewing (140 S College Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46202), an afternoon at a couple of Mass Ave taprooms, and a Hard Truth tasting to close the night.
Maybe it's a straight shot south to Morgan County wineries, two stops, back to downtown for dinner. Maybe it's a progressive pub crawl through Broad Ripple that hits six spots between 5 PM and midnight, with the bus waiting at each venue while your group takes its time inside. Our reservation team is available 24/7 at 317-229-6481 to work through whatever route you have in mind.
We take care of the logistics; your group takes care of the tasting notes.

Client Reviews of Our Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation in Indianapolis
Booked a bus for a winery day with my friends and it was the perfect way to enjoy ourselves without anyone having to stay sober to drive. We hopped between a few spots, sipping and laughing the whole way. The bus was comfortable and the ride between stops was half the fun. Setting it up was easy and the quote was fair. We're already planning the next tour.

Did a pub crawl around Indianapolis with a group and the bus tied it all together. We could relax between stops, keep the music going, and not a single person had to worry about driving. The booking was simple and they were flexible with our route. The bus was clean and roomy for the whole crew. Easily the most fun and stress-free way to do a crawl.

Octavio R.
Got the bus for a brewery and pub crawl and it was the move. No one had to be the designated driver, so the whole group actually got to relax and have a good time. We bounced between spots easily and the bus kept the vibe going in between. Booking was quick and the price was honest with no add-ons at the end. Highly recommend for a crawl.
Frequently Asked Questions About our Indianapolis Winery & Brewery Tour Transportation Services
How many breweries or wineries can we realistically visit in one day with a bus?
Most groups hit four to six stops comfortably in a six-to-eight-hour window, depending on how long you want at each venue. Indianapolis brewery crawls through Fountain Square, Mass Ave, and Broad Ripple can pack in five stops with thirty to forty minutes per taproom. Wine country day trips south toward Morgan or Brown County typically run three to four stops given the drive time.
We'll help you build a schedule that's actually enjoyable rather than rushed — call 317-229-6481 and we'll map it out.
How far in advance should we book a winery tour bus in Indianapolis?
For busy weekends — Indy Brew Week in September, fall harvest weekends in October, the Indiana Wine Fair in spring — book six to eight weeks out at minimum. Those dates pull from the same vehicle supply as prom season and Colts home games, and the right-size buses go first. For a standard Saturday tasting crawl with no major event overlap, two to three weeks is workable, but earlier always means better vehicle selection and better pricing.
What vehicle is best for a bachelorette party brewery crawl in Indianapolis?
A 15- to 25-passenger party bus is the right pick for a bachelorette brewery crawl. The built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, and flat-panel TVs turn the ride between taprooms into part of the experience rather than dead time. For a smaller squad of eight to fourteen, a 14-passenger Sprinter limo delivers the same energy in a more intimate package.
Call 317-229-6481 and we'll match you with the right vehicle for your group size and vibe.
Do the wineries and breweries in Indianapolis have parking for charter buses?
It varies by venue and neighborhood. Taprooms in dense corridors like Mass Ave and Broad Ripple have limited or no on-site bus parking — your bus will wait on a nearby street or in a nearby lot while your group is inside. Destination breweries and wineries outside the city, like Hard Truth in Nashville, Indiana, typically have ample space for larger vehicles.
When you book, we sort out the logistics for each stop so your group isn't figuring out parking on the fly.
Can we book a winery or brewery tour bus for a corporate team outing?
Absolutely — it's one of the most popular uses we see. A private party bus rental in Indianapolis for a team outing means everyone shows up to the same place at the same time, nobody is stuck being the sober navigator, and the whole event feels intentional rather than loosely organized. We handle groups for corporate happy hours, team-building afternoons, and client entertainment runs across the Indianapolis area.
WiFi is available on select vehicles if anyone needs to stay connected between stops. Call 317-229-6481 to get a quote for your group size.
