Good To Know

  • *DISCLAIMER: Magic Shuttle Bus does contact wineries if appointments do need to be made, keep in mind, these are not reservations and only allow us to come in at the desired time, but does not eradicate wait times.
  • Being that Bry's Estate has very limited capacity due to Covid-19, we will alternate between Hawthorne Vineyards and Bry's to offer the best possible experience
  • There is a total of 10-15 parking spots that are allotted for Magic Shuttle Bus customers. These are offered on a first come, first serve basis.
  • Mari Vineyards will be on a first come first serve basis, if booked, we will switch out with Chateau Chantal Winery, and vise versa
  • Your driver will request that you make the reservation for Chateau Chantal when you get on the bus, but this is not required.
  • Customers are welcome to pack a lunch for the day, most wineries only offer small appetizers and snacks, no full meals
