Outing Highlights

THE RIDE

Limo seating for a small, private group

The Funky Bus is outfitted to carry up to ten passengers in limo‑style seating—meant to keep your group together and mobile for private events such as bachelorettes, corporate outings or combined sightseeing and tasting tours.

THE STOPS

Customizable tasting and sightseeing itinerary

Tours run with prearranged stops at wineries, breweries and distilleries or other sights; the operator can help plan your route and make appointments in advance so visits are coordinated before your tour departs.

THE FLEX

Bring your own food and drinks

Groups may load coolers, bring food, and have open alcohol on the bus—allowing you to design the day around your preferences and budget while keeping the bus a central social space.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A Funk Party Bus tour unfolds like a private rolling salon: a fixed minimum of four hours gives you time to board, travel between prearranged stops, and linger at selected wineries, breweries or distilleries while the driver handles navigation and logistics.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this tour suits—and who should think twice.

1
Party groups and celebrationsIdeal for bachelorette parties, birthday groups and social celebrations that need a private, mobile venue for up to ten people.
2
Wine, beer and spirits enthusiastsWell suited to small tasting groups who want coordinated appointments at wineries, breweries and distilleries with a private vehicle between stops.
3
Corporate outings and small teamsA practical option for corporate team events and small company gatherings that require a single, private shuttle and prearranged stops.
4
Families with young childrenLess ideal for families with small children: alcohol is allowed on the bus and many tasting stops do not offer substantial food options—guests should weigh those factors.
