Wine country should feel like an escape, not a logistics exercise. Gathering 12 friends or colleagues for a day in Temecula sounds wonderful until someone has to be the designated driver, another person is stuck navigating winding vineyard roads on their phone, and the group arrives in scattered batches that eat into precious tasting-room time. The 12 Passenger Executive Sprinter transforms the entire experience — a single Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with forward-facing leather seats, a high-roof cabin, and a professional driver who knows every winery route in the region.
This is an executive-class vehicle, not a party bus. The distinction matters for groups that want sophistication over spectacle. The cabin is quiet, the leather seating is arranged for comfortable conversation, and the overall aesthetic matches the elegance of the tasting rooms you'll be visiting. Each of the 12 forward-facing seats provides generous legroom and personal space, so passengers can relax between stops without feeling packed in. The high-roof design allows everyone to board and exit gracefully — no ducking, no awkward crouching in cocktail attire.
San Diego Party Ride prices everything all-inclusively — your professional driver, fuel, insurance, taxes, and gratuity are included in one rate. No metered charges, no fuel surcharges, no end-of-day tipping calculations. Whether your group is exploring Temecula's finest wineries, attending a corporate retreat along the coast, or hosting an executive dinner circuit through San Diego's best restaurants, the 12 Passenger Executive Sprinter elevates every mile of the journey.

What to Expect
The 12 Passenger Executive Sprinter greets you with a cabin that feels both spacious and intentionally designed. Twelve leather seats face forward in a configuration that encourages conversation without crowding — you can turn to the person beside you, lean across the aisle, or simply settle in and watch the scenery change from coastal sage scrub to rolling vineyard hills. The Mercedes-Benz platform delivers a ride that's noticeably smoother than standard vans, absorbing the curves and grades of the Temecula Valley roads without the lurching that lesser vehicles produce. Climate control keeps the cabin cool even on warm inland afternoons.
Your professional driver manages every detail: navigating vineyard driveways, finding the best parking at each winery, keeping track of time between tastings, and ensuring the group stays on schedule without anyone feeling rushed. The flexibility built into the trip means that if the group falls in love with a particular winery and wants to linger over one more pour, the driver adjusts the schedule accordingly. Guests are welcome to bring sealed beverages in plastic cups — glass is not permitted for safety. Food stays off the vehicle, but your driver can stop at any restaurant along the route, and many wineries offer food pairings and charcuterie on-site. The experience is refined, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable from the first sip to the last.
Best Events for the 12 Passenger Executive Sprinter
Wine tasting groups are the signature booking for the 12 Passenger Executive Sprinter. Twelve is the ideal number for splitting into two tasting groups at smaller boutique wineries or filling a single reserved table at larger estates. Temecula Valley's most acclaimed wineries — Ponte, Callaway, Doffo, Wilson Creek, and Fazeli Cellars — are all accessible from San Diego in under two hours aboard the Sprinter, and the professional driver ensures your group visits each stop safely and on schedule. The executive atmosphere of the vehicle complements the sophistication of the wineries themselves, creating a seamless experience from pickup to final drop-off.
Corporate team celebrations, executive retreats, and milestone events for groups of 12 also align perfectly with this Sprinter. A leadership team celebrating a successful quarter might book the Executive Sprinter for an evening circuit through San Diego's finest restaurants — cocktails at Mister A's, dinner at Juniper & Ivy, dessert at Extraordinary Desserts in Little Italy. Birthday celebrations, bridal showers, and retirement dinners for groups that prefer a refined vibe over a party atmosphere are also frequent bookings. When the goal is to celebrate with class rather than volume, the 12 Passenger Executive Sprinter sets exactly the right tone. Call (619) 354-1420.

Amenities & Features
The 12 Passenger Executive Sprinter is outfitted for comfort, connectivity, and a premium experience. Twelve forward-facing leather seats provide plush cushioning, generous legroom, and armrests for each passenger. The high-roof Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform creates a cabin with standing headroom — no more awkward crouching to find your seat or retrieve a bag from the overhead area. Some configurations include Wi-Fi connectivity and USB charging ports, allowing passengers to share photos from the day, check messages between stops, or simply stay connected. Climate control maintains a comfortable cabin temperature whether you're driving through coastal fog or inland afternoon heat.
Sealed beverages are welcome aboard — bring your own drinks in plastic cups, as glass is not permitted for safety. We provide ice and water to keep things refreshing throughout the trip. Food is not allowed inside the vehicle, but your driver can make unlimited stops at restaurants, cafes, and winery bistros along the route. If minors are present while adults enjoy alcoholic beverages, a parent or legal guardian must be on board. Elegant decorations for celebrations are welcome — think balloons and floral arrangements rather than confetti and glitter, which are not permitted along with adhesive tape on leather. Pets may ride along with prior approval. Every feature of the Sprinter supports the refined, relaxed atmosphere your event deserves.

How It Compares
The 12 Passenger Executive Sprinter is the sweet spot of the Executive Sprinter lineup — large enough for a substantial group, intimate enough to maintain the exclusive feel that defines the executive experience. Compared to the 8 and 10-passenger models, the 12-passenger accommodates four more guests without sacrificing per-seat comfort or cabin atmosphere. Compared to the 14-passenger, it offers a slightly more spacious feel per person when that extra breathing room matters for your event's tone.
Against party-style Sprinter vans and limousines, the Executive Sprinter takes an entirely different approach. Party Sprinters feature wrap-around seating, LED lighting, and booming sound systems designed for nightlife energy. The Executive Sprinter counters with forward-facing leather seats, a quiet cabin, and a refined aesthetic designed for wine tastings, corporate events, and upscale social occasions. For groups that want to feel like they're in a first-class lounge rather than a nightclub on wheels, the Executive Sprinter is the obvious choice. All pricing is all-inclusive — driver, fuel, insurance, taxes, and gratuity included — so you can compare total costs confidently. Call (619) 354-1420 to discuss which style suits your event.
Planning Tips
For wine tasting trips, plan your winery stops in advance and book reservations where required — Temecula's most popular tasting rooms fill up on weekends, and showing up without a reservation can cost you a stop. Most groups comfortably visit three to four wineries in a day, with travel time between them factored into the schedule. Share the itinerary with your group so everyone knows the plan and can pace their tasting accordingly. Evening and weekend rentals require a 4-hour minimum, non-peak times like Sundays offer a 3-hour minimum, and Saturday prom events from March through May carry a 6-hour minimum.
Remind guests that sealed beverages are welcome in plastic cups (no glass) on the Sprinter, and purchased wine bottles from tastings should be sealed and stored carefully for the ride home. Food is not allowed on the vehicle, so plan lunch at a winery restaurant or a standalone spot along the route — your driver can stop anywhere. If your trip is a celebration, tasteful decorations like balloons and small banners add a festive touch without overwhelming the executive atmosphere — avoid confetti, glitter, and tape on leather. Booking early is important for weekend dates, especially during spring and fall when Temecula is at its most popular. Call (619) 354-1420 to secure your trip.
