California’s best wines aren’t only from Napa—on this tour, you’ll experience the wonderful wines of Temecula across three of the region’s best vineyards.

When in Temecula!

There can only be one original, so don't be fooled by all the imitators. Why ride in a glorified shuttle bus when you can experience the real-deal? When you hear that classic Cable Car bell ring, it's all aboard for an immersive, all-inclusive, carefree day as we whisk you away on an authentically restored 1914 Cable Car straight off the streets of San Francisco. Our hosts are trained on the wine and the history of the area and will be with you all day long to guide you through the adventure, talk about the history of the area, help explain the wines, and show you the insider’s way through each location. The tour lasts five hours and includes all wine tasting fees plus special discounts at the wineries. *Itinerary is decided a day in advance based on availability. Subject to change from the listed locations.

We built the only true 18 wheeler bus in the country. Our bus is as much a story as it is a product. We were a husband and wife team with very few resources but a fun, wild idea. We took a leap of faith hoping that with a little tenacity and courage we could build a truly special wine tour experience in our beloved hometown Temecula. We built out this bus ourselves over 2 years, never fully knowing if in the end we would get something so outrageous through the incredible tangle of regulatory red tape. It was difficult, but we did it. At last. Our vision is that our guests cruise through verdant vineyards with as little separation between themselves and the warm sun, cool air, and sights and smells of the countryside as possible. Glass in hand, we want you to connect with your people. We don't want you to just take photos, we want you to immerse yourself in an experience that stays fixed in your memory bank always. Original or nothing.
