Tuscaloosa Winery Tour Charter Bus Rentals

Look no further than Shelby County for some of Alabama's best wine-tasting day trips from Tuscaloosa! The run east on I-20/59 puts your group at Ozan Winery (3760 Vineyard Rd, Calera, AL 35040) in about an hour — and Morgan Creek Vineyards is right in the same corridor. Both are rural properties with plenty of space for a bus to drop your group at the entrance and stage nearby while you taste.

Add a stop at Petals from the Past (16034 County Road 29, Jemison, AL 35085) in Chilton County and you've got a full-day itinerary your group will talk about for years. Compare minibuses and charter buses for the whole route in under 30 seconds — no account needed, pricing, photos!

That Shelby County route has a 2026 scheduling catch: Morgan Creek Vineyards is hosting private events plus three public festivals — Bacchus Festival on May 16, German WineFEST on July 18, and Oktoberfest on October 3. Your bus can build Morgan Creek around one of those dated openings instead of arriving on a regular public-tasting day.

Ozan Winery recommends reservations for groups of 8 or more, Saturday tables can sell out, and the cafe closes at 4:30 p.m.; the winery is reached from I-65 Exit 228, one mile away, as shown in the Ozan Winery directions page. Your bus can bring everyone to the tasting stop on time while the reservation and cafe cutoff keep the day moving.

Petals from the Past is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., with guided garden tours and a muscadine vineyard; Monday is closed. Your bus can make that garden-and-muscadine stop part of the route without leaving your group to solve the timing between venues.

We know Tuscaloosa wine lovers don't stop at the city limits — and neither does the Busrentaltuscaloosa.com network! Northport sits just across the Black Warrior River and is home to the Kentuck Art Center (503 Main Ave, Northport, AL 35476) and the local winery and artisan scene that surrounds it. A compact minibus or sprinter van is the perfect call for a Northport shuttle — small enough to navigate Main Avenue and the surrounding streets without hassle, and comfortable enough to keep your group relaxed between stops.

Whether you're combining Northport with downtown Tuscaloosa stops or making it the centerpiece of your afternoon, Busrentaltuscaloosa.com helps you find the right bus for the route. Fill out one form and compare options in seconds!

Downtown Northport has a live access wrinkle: Main Avenue is closed at 5th Street and closed to through traffic at 10th Street, while business access remains open; the north parking lot is approached from 10th Street around the barricade, according to the Kentuck Art Center visit and parking page. Your bus can use the 10th Street approach instead of trying to run Main Avenue straight through, keeping the Northport stop simple despite the streetscaping project.

Fill out one form and lock in your Alabama Wine Trail bus before your preferred date disappears! Tuscaloosa is a college town, and weekends here book fast — especially in fall when University of Alabama home games at Bryant-Denny Stadium (920 Paul W. Bryant Dr, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401) pull transportation demand across the entire region. Spring graduation weekends in May and the annual Kentuck Festival of the Arts in October are two more dates that tighten availability quickly.

If your wine tour falls near any of those dates, booking three to six months out is the smart move — waiting until the last minute means fewer vehicles and higher prices. Compare buses from a network of transportation companies serving Tuscaloosa right now, or call 205-464-9065 to hold your date today!

For 2026, the Kentuck Festival of the Arts runs October 17-18 at Snow Hinton Park in Tuscaloosa, with Saturday hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Your bus can get your wine tour in and out of Tuscaloosa before the festival crowd tightens local availability.

Because Busrentaltuscaloosa.com pulls from a large network of transportation companies serving all of west-central Alabama, you're never limited to buses that originate in Tuscaloosa city limits. Whether your group is gathering in Northport, Bessemer, Hoover, or Jasper, the network covers pickups across the entire region — so everyone can board together from a single convenient location before the first cork is pulled.
