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.
