One Quick Form for Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation Pricing From a Network of Bus Companies
One form is all it takes. Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com is an advertising and quote comparison website — not a local bus company — which means you're never limited to whatever a single fleet has sitting in a lot. Instead, you fill out one quick form and see vehicles, amenities, and pricing from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, and the entire Yadkin Valley wine corridor. No account required, no callbacks to wait on, and a free quote is always available online or by phone at 336-748-7170.
Whether your group needs a compact sprinter van for four friends or a full-size charter bus for a corporate wine retreat, the network has the right fit. Compare your options side by side and choose the bus that works for you!
Every Bus You Can Book for Wine Tour & Brewery Transportation
Bringing eight friends to Flint Hill Vineyards in East Bend — just 25 miles west of downtown Winston-Salem on NC-67 — looks very different from shuttling 40 colleagues to a private tasting at Shelton Vineyards in Dobson. That's exactly why the network offers so many different vehicle types! Compare sprinter vans and sprinter limos for smaller groups, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses for mid-size parties, and 15- to 50-passenger party buses when the celebration calls for a built-in bar, LED lighting, and a Bluetooth sound system from the first pour to the last.
Full-size 56-passenger charter buses are available too, with reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays for longer runs out to the Swan Creek AVA. You choose the bus — and the amenities — that fit your group and your itinerary!

Cross the Yadkin Valley Wine Trail Without a Designated Driver Worry in Sight
Cross a three-winery day off your planning list the easy way — with one bus that handles every stop on the Yadkin Valley wine trail so nobody in your group has to skip a pour to drive. A typical Winston-Salem wine tour runs west on US-421 toward Shadow Springs Vineyard in Yadkinville, then continues northwest to Elkin Creek Vineyard and RagApple Lassie Vineyards — covering 60 to 90 miles round-trip on rural two-lane roads where rideshare coverage simply doesn't exist. Your bus handles every mile of NC-67, every tight turn off US-421, and every gravel driveway, while your group focuses entirely on the tastings.
You set the itinerary and the stops. The bus takes care of the rest. Compare available vehicles and pricing through Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com in under 30 seconds!
It's Never Been Easier to Plan a Group Tasting at Childress Vineyards or Shelton Vineyards
It's never been easier to organize a full-day group tasting at two of the Yadkin Valley's most celebrated estates. Childress Vineyards (1000 Childress Vineyards Rd, Lexington, NC 27295) sits about 35 miles south of downtown Winston-Salem via US-52 S / US-64 W and offers a full restaurant, guided tours, and a dedicated area for group arrivals — though group visits require advance reservation through the winery. Shelton Vineyards (286 Cabernet Lane, Dobson, NC 27017) is roughly 45 miles northwest via US-421 N and is one of the largest estate wineries on the East Coast, with 400-plus acres, an inn, and a restaurant perfect for a long afternoon.
One bus covers both stops in a single itinerary — no carpooling logistics, no parking coordination, no one stuck being sober. Fill out one form on Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com and compare vehicles for your date in seconds!
Childress Vineyards also offers a private Tour, Tasting & Lunch package for 8 to 30 guests, so your bus can keep the whole party together for one coordinated winery visit instead of splitting into separate cars. See Childress Vineyards' group-visit details for the package limits.
At Shelton Vineyards, large-group private tours and tastings are arranged for 10 or more people, while the Grand Reserve tasting is a 60-minute reservation made 48 hours in advance. Your bus keeps the group on one clock from the vineyard to the next stop. See Shelton Vineyards' large-group tasting details for the current timing.
You Can Count on Finding the Right Bus for the Yadkin Valley Wine Festival
You can count on Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com to help your group get to the Yadkin Valley Wine Festival at Elkin Municipal Park (399 US 268W, Elkin, NC 28621) without the parking headache that comes with 20,000-plus attendees pouring into a small downtown on festival weekend each May. Elkin is roughly 40 miles northwest of Winston-Salem via US-421 N, and parking near the festival grounds fills quickly — rideshare coverage in Elkin is limited on a normal day and essentially nonexistent during the festival. A charter bus or minibus drops your group steps from the entrance and picks everyone up when the last pour is done, no surge pricing and no long walk back to a remote lot.
Because Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com pulls from a large network of independently owned bus companies, you can compare vehicles and pricing for festival weekend in one place. Call 336-748-7170 to lock in your date early — festival weekends book fast!
The next Yadkin Valley Wine Festival is scheduled for Saturday, May 15, 2027, so your bus should be booked before the region's spring calendar fills up. See the Yadkin Valley Wine Festival's next-event details for the date.
That's the Raffaldini and Grassy Creek Run — and Your Bus Handles Every Mile of It
That's a full afternoon right there: Raffaldini Vineyards (450 Groce Rd, Ronda, NC 28670) and Grassy Creek Vineyard & Winery (235 Chatham Rd, State Road, NC 28676) sit within the Swan Creek AVA, about 50 miles northwest of Winston-Salem via US-421 N and NC-268. Both wineries are on narrow country roads through Wilkes and Surry counties — beautiful scenery, tight turns, and zero rideshare coverage once you leave the highway. Raffaldini's Italian-style estate is known for its Vermentino and Montepulciano; Grassy Creek pours Chambourcin and Cabernet Franc in a setting that rewards the drive.
Your bus takes US-421 N the whole way out and back while your group settles in. Compare minibuses, party buses, and charter buses through Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com and find the right vehicle for your Swan Creek run today!
Keeping Your Whole Group Together From Winston-Salem to Old North State Winery and Back
Keeping 15 people coordinated across a 35-mile drive north to Old North State Winery (604 N Key St, Madison, NC 27025) in Rockingham County — via US-311 N and US-220 N — is a logistical puzzle that disappears the moment you put everyone on one bus. Old North State is a downtown tasting room experience in a small city setting, which means street parking for a group is a real challenge even on a quiet Saturday. One minibus or charter bus drops the whole group at the door and waits while you taste, then brings everyone home to Winston-Salem together. Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com makes it easy to compare 15-passenger minibuses, sprinter vans, and party buses from a network of bus companies serving the Winston-Salem and Rockingham County corridor.

Flint Hill Vineyards in East Bend (~25 miles west via NC-67) is one of the closest to downtown Winston-Salem and works well for a shorter afternoon outing. Childress Vineyards in Lexington (~35 miles south) and RagApple Lassie Vineyards in Boonville (~30 miles west via US-421) are popular full-day group destinations with space for larger parties. All three require advance reservations for group visits — contact each winery directly to confirm your tasting time before booking your bus.
Most Yadkin Valley wineries are 25 to 50 miles from downtown Winston-Salem. Flint Hill Vineyards is the closest at about 25 miles west. Shadow Springs Vineyard in Yadkinville is roughly 30 miles via US-421 N. Shelton Vineyards in Dobson and Raffaldini Vineyards in Ronda are about 45 to 50 miles northwest.
Drive times range from 35 minutes to just over an hour depending on traffic on US-421 and rural road conditions.
Yes — but vehicle size matters on some of the narrower country roads leading to smaller estate wineries. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus or a sprinter van navigates rural routes like Groce Road to Raffaldini or Flint Hill Road to Flint Hill Vineyards more easily than a full 56-passenger motorcoach. When you request your quote through Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com, mention your winery stops so the network can match you with the right vehicle size for your specific route.
Most groups comfortably visit two to three wineries in a full day from Winston-Salem. A typical itinerary runs about six to eight hours including drive time, tastings (usually 45 minutes to 90 minutes per winery), and a meal stop. Wineries along the US-421 N corridor — like RagApple Lassie, Shadow Springs, and Elkin Creek Vineyard — cluster well for a three-stop day without excessive backtracking.
Build your itinerary first, then fill out one form on Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com to compare buses for your route!
Book as early as possible — ideally four to six weeks out for a standard weekend tour, and three to six months out for the Yadkin Valley Wine Festival in May, which draws 20,000-plus visitors to Elkin and creates enormous demand for group transportation across the entire region. Bachelorette parties, corporate outings, and birthday wine tours also fill up on spring and fall weekends when the vineyards are busiest. The earlier you compare through Winstonsalemcoachbuscompany.com, the better your vehicle selection and pricing will be.
