For a small group heading up Mulholland Highway to Malibu Wine Safaris (32111 Mulholland Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265) or Saddlerock Ranch (31727 Mulholland Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265), the narrow mountain switchbacks make a 15–25 passenger minibus the smart pick — nimble enough for the road, comfortable enough for the ride. Running a bigger group down I-15 to Wilson Creek Winery (35960 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591) or Ponte Winery (35053 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591)?

Malibu Wine Country Is Worth Every Curve on Mulholland Highway
For the best Malibu wine experience, the road to get there is half the adventure — and the right bus makes it a pleasure instead of a puzzle. Mulholland Highway through the Santa Monica Mountains is narrow, winding, and spectacular, which is exactly why a 15–25 passenger minibus is the vehicle of choice for reaching estates like Malibu Wine Safaris and Saddlerock Ranch / Malibu Family Wines. A full-size 56-passenger coach on those switchbacks is a headache — a compact minibus gets your group there clean.
Prefer to stay on the PCH? Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate (18741 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265) offers an easier approach along the highway itself. Compare minibuses for your Malibu run through the Hawthornecharterbuscompany.com network and get pricing in seconds!
With Temecula Just Down I-15, a Charter Bus Makes the Run Easy
With Temecula wine country about 80–90 miles southeast of Hawthorne — roughly 90 minutes to two hours down I-15 — a full-size charter bus is the obvious call for bigger groups. Rancho California Road lines up stop after stop: Wilson Creek Winery, Ponte Winery, Callaway Vineyard & Winery (32720 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92589), and South Coast Winery Resort & Spa (34843 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591) all have large lots that accommodate a 40–56 passenger coach. Temecula is busiest on weekends in spring and during harvest season in September and October — book two to three months ahead for those dates.
Compare charter buses and pricing for your Temecula wine tour through Hawthornecharterbuscompany.com in under 30 seconds!
What Santa Barbara Wine Country Offers a Group Coming from Hawthorne
What makes Santa Barbara wine country such a great call for Hawthorne groups is how straightforward the drive is — about 125–135 miles northwest on US-101, roughly two to two-and-a-half hours, and suddenly you're in the Santa Ynez Valley. Gainey Vineyard (3950 E Highway 246, Santa Ynez, CA 93460), Sunstone Winery (125 N Refugio Rd, Santa Ynez, CA 93460), and Firestone Vineyard (5017 Zaca Station Rd, Los Olivos, CA 93441) all welcome group visits with advance notice, and most have lots that handle a full-size coach. The season runs May through October, with harvest in August and September being the busiest stretch — book early for those dates.

The winery has a large on-site parking lot that accommodates buses, a full tasting room, a deli, and group tasting packages available with advance notice — call them at 424-491-5180 to set up your visit.

A Sprinter van or 15-passenger minibus is all you need for the trip. Compare vehicles and get pricing through Hawthornecharterbuscompany.com in seconds — call 424-491-5180 or use the online tool!
Rather Than Splitting Into Cars, Keep Everyone on One Bus for the Whole Tour
Rather than coordinating a five-car caravan up the 405 to PCH — dealing with surge pricing, separate parking at every stop, and someone inevitably getting separated from the group — one bus keeps your whole wine tour together from the first pickup to the last drop-off. According to the INRIX 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard's Los Angeles report, Los Angeles drivers lose 87 hours a year to congestion, 4th-worst in the country. The northbound I-405 through the Sepulveda Pass is one of the worst stretches — budget 30–45 minutes of extra time during afternoon hours if you're heading toward Malibu.
One bus handles all of it while your group relaxes, sips, and stays together. Compare wine tour buses from a network of companies serving Hawthorne through Hawthornecharterbuscompany.com — call 424-491-5180 or get instant pricing online!

Temecula wine country is the most straightforward run for a larger group — about 80–90 miles southeast on I-15, with wineries lining Rancho California Road and large lots at Wilson Creek Winery, Ponte Winery, and South Coast Winery Resort & Spa that easily accommodate a 40–56 passenger charter bus. For a shorter local option, San Antonio Winery in Los Angeles is about 20 miles away and has on-site bus parking. Malibu wine estates are closest by distance but require a smaller minibus due to the narrow mountain roads on Mulholland Highway.
A 56-passenger full-size coach is not practical on Mulholland Highway's narrow, winding switchbacks leading to estates like Malibu Wine Safaris and Saddlerock Ranch. A 15–25 passenger minibus is the recommended vehicle for those mountain roads — it handles the curves cleanly and still gives your group a comfortable, climate-controlled ride. If your group prefers a PCH-accessible Malibu tasting room, Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate is reachable by a standard bus.
Mention your destination when you request your quote and the network will match you to the right vehicle size.
Book two to three months in advance for Temecula weekend trips, and stretch that to three to four months for spring weekends (March through May) and fall harvest season (September and October) — those are the busiest stretches in Temecula wine country, and bus availability tightens fast. Weekday trips have more flexibility and generally come in at lower rates than Saturday peak pricing. The earlier you lock in your date, the more vehicle options you'll have to choose from.
Call 424-491-5180 right now to hold your date before it fills!
