Chicago to Michigan wine tours
Chicago to Michigan wine tour party bus
Private coach from Chicago or the south suburbs into Michigan wine country. The whole table rides together — tasting rooms, lunch, bottles in the cooler, home before dark.
The run
Harbor Country and southwest Michigan
Pickup in Chicago or Tinley Park. Across to New Buffalo and Harbor Country, or further up the trail toward Baroda and Fennville. You pick the tasting rooms; we hold the clock and the curb. Typical day is 8-10 hours door to door.
Which coach
A table on the 15. A mid coach if the list is bigger.
Chicago 15 for a court-size table (8-15). Sprinter Luxe for 6-12. The Chicago 40 when the list is 20–40 — including the 24-passenger wine days we already run. Uniformed chauffeur. Cooler for bottles you buy. Bluetooth. 21+ on wine-tour days.
How we quote
By hours and miles, not a mystery package
This is a private charter, not a public tour. Send the date, headcount, pickup, and which Michigan stops you want. We confirm by hand. Five-hour minimum on the Chicago 15; wine days usually run longer. Ice and a cooler on request. We do not pour — the wineries do.
