Comfortable, Modern Buses With Room for Everyone
Forget about squeezing into a tiny van or splitting up into multiple cars. Our fleet includes vehicles of every size, so you can bring as many friends as you want and still have plenty of room to relax. Smaller groups will love our compact minibuses (seating 18–35 passengers), while larger parties can upgrade to a full-size charter bus with space for up to 56 people. Traveling with a few extra guests? Ask about our mid-size options and easily compare models to find the perfect fit.
Onboard amenities include cushioned seats, climate control, overhead storage, and Bluetooth sound systems for playing your favorite road-trip playlist. Some models also feature reclining seats, USB charging ports, video screens, and rear luggage compartments—ideal for storing cases of wine or beer purchased during your tour. It’s the most comfortable way to experience Illinois wine country, hands down.
Private Transportation for Bachelorette Parties, Birthdays, and More
There’s nothing like celebrating a special occasion with a private tour of Illinois wine country. Book a minibus or charter bus with Normal Charter Bus, and you’ll have the perfect venue for your next bachelorette party, birthday, or anniversary getaway. Bring drinks and snacks onboard, decorate the cabin with balloons and streamers, and turn every mile into a rolling pre-party as you travel between stops.
Best of all, you’ll never have to worry about designated drivers or rideshare availability at the end of the night. Our buses allow alcohol consumption (BYOB) as long as everyone is of legal age and behaves responsibly. It’s the safest, easiest way to keep your group together and ensure that every guest makes it home at the end of the day.
Shuttle Services for Wine Festivals and Brewery Events
Hosting a large event? Let Normal Charter Bus handle the transportation. We provide shuttle services for wine festivals, beer tastings, and industry gatherings of any size. Recent clients include the Mackinaw Valley Vineyard Wine ∓ Jazz Festival, the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild’s “Brew at the Zoo” event in Peoria, and the Downtown Bloomington Craft Beer Crawl. Our team will work with you to design efficient routes, manage passenger flow, and keep your schedule running on time from start to finish.
Looking for a fun way to spend a weekend with friends? Book a charter bus and hit the Heart of Illinois Wine Trail, which features nine family-owned wineries across McLean, Tazewell, and Peoria counties. Highlights include Mackinaw Valley Vineyard (known for its award-winning dry reds), Kickapoo Creek Winery (set on a scenic hillside estate), and Old Mill Vineyard (famous for its sweet fruit wines). Many venues offer live music, food trucks, and outdoor seating with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
If craft beer is more your style, plan a brewery crawl through downtown Bloomington-Normal or the Warehouse District in Peoria. Popular stops include Destihl Brewery, Keg Grove Brewing Company, Bearded Owl Brewing, and Industry Brewing. With a private bus, you can sample as many flights as you like without worrying about the drive home.
Enjoy Premium Amenities Onboard Your Private Shuttle Bus Rental
When you reserve your own winery tour or pub crawl bus rental through Normal Charter Bus, you’ll never have to compromise comfort for the sake of your itinerary! Easily request any number of premium amenities aboard your ride—like fast WiFi for sharing photos of your favorite vineyard views, TV screens for streaming a group movie, reclining seats for mid-tour cat-naps, and more. We even offer charter bus rentals with restrooms, so your passengers won’t have to wait for a pitstop between tastings.
And besides comfort-minded features, you can also lock in a bus rental that offers plenty of storage options. Stash coolers and picnic baskets in the undercarriage luggage bay, tuck away purses and backpacks in the overhead parcel rack, and keep aisleways clear and clutter-free throughout your journey!
