About this experience

Come take a ride with us on California's Ultimate Day Drinking Experience as we cruise the rolling hills of Temecula in style on our VW Bus Wine Tour. We personally choose the most amazing, award winning wineries with the most flavorful wines and friendly staff, making your day of wine tasting easy going and fun.

Tastings included at the 2 locations. Discounts on bottle purchases and complimentary waters when you cruise with us. With Van’N Boozy the journey through town in one of our VW Buses is just as much FUN as our tasty destinations.

During the drives we listen to music and usually everyone ends up singing! Our Boozy Guides are locals and are very knowledgeable of the area if you'd like to learn a bit along the way. The servers at each winery are extremely knowledgeable on any of your wine questions you may have! This is a vintage vehicle so be prepared for the adventure!
