Day Trips to Cardella Winery and the Planada Wine Country
Browse a great selection of minibuses and sprinter vans perfectly sized for a day trip out CA-140 to Cardella Winery (11640 W California Ave, Planada, CA 95365), one of the most established family wineries in Merced County. Cardella grows Zinfandel, Barbera, and other varietals on a rural property about twelve miles east of Merced — and getting there is a breeze when the whole group rides together in one comfortable vehicle instead of splitting into multiple cars. The rural setting at Cardella means open lot space that works well for minibuses and sprinter vans, and the flat two-lane drive out CA-140 is easy and scenic.

Madera Wine Trail Group Tours Made Easy From Merced
Busrentalmerced.com makes it incredibly simple to arrange group transportation for a full day on the Madera Wine Trail, just 40 miles south of Merced via CA-99. The trail runs through rural vineyard roads where a minibus or sprinter van is far more practical than a full-size coach — and through a network of independent operators, you can compare exactly those vehicle types side by side with photos and upfront pricing. Stop at Ficklin Vineyards (30246 Ave 7½, Madera, CA 93637), one of California's oldest port-style wine producers, and Quady Winery (13181 Road 24, Madera, CA 93637), famous for Electra Moscato — all without anyone in the group worrying about the drive home.
Compare vehicles and rates in under 30 seconds online or call 209-819-5850!
The Ficklin Vineyards stop sits just west of Highway 99 at the Avenue 7 exit, and groups larger than four should call the venue directly at (559) 661-0075 ahead for tasting reservation information; your bus can roll straight from the highway into the tasting stop using the winery's official Ficklin Vineyards map and visit details.
Quady Winery serves tastings daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with $10 tastings for non-club members, and groups of six or more should reserve in advance; your bus gets the whole party to one tasting window instead of splitting arrivals across the afternoon, with the Quady Winery tasting-room details spelling out the current hours and group policy.
Shenandoah Valley and Lodi Wine Region Charter Bus Trips
Choose a full-size charter bus or a comfortable minibus for longer group runs to California's premier wine regions — and Busrentalmerced.com makes comparing your options easy! The Shenandoah Valley AVA in Amador County is about 90 to 100 miles north of Merced via CA-99 and CA-88, famous for old-vine Zinfandel at wineries like Sobon Estate and Story Winery. The Lodi AVA is roughly 75 to 80 miles north via CA-99, with more than 85 wineries and a reputation for bold Zinfandels and Cabernets.
For longer runs like these, a 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, onboard WiFi, power outlets, and undercarriage luggage bays keeps your group comfortable for the drive in both directions. Compare vehicles and rates from a network of bus companies and find the right fit for your trip!

Through a network of independent operators serving Merced, you can compare party buses with a full-length built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, flat-panel TVs, wraparound perimeter seating, and a premium Bluetooth sound system.

It depends on your group size and your destinations. A sprinter van works great for six to fourteen people on a local run to Cardella Winery or the Madera Wine Trail, where vineyard roads are narrow. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus fits medium-sized groups comfortably, and a 56-passenger charter bus is ideal for longer runs to Lodi or Amador County.
Through Busrentalmerced.com, you compare all of these side by side from a network of independent operators serving Merced!
Booking two to four weeks in advance is a good rule of thumb for most Merced wine tours. However, harvest season — August through October — is the busiest time for wine country transportation across the Central Valley, and vehicles book up quickly during that stretch. If your tour falls during harvest, aim for six to eight weeks out.
The earlier you compare and book through Busrentalmerced.com, the better your vehicle selection and pricing will be!
Yes! Round-trip packages are available through the network of transportation companies serving Merced.
