If you’re the one mapping out a bus tour from Morgantown, you already know the pressure. Every stop has to be worth the drive, easy to slot into the schedule, and fun enough that your riders are still talking about it on the way home. That’s exactly the kind of stop we love being. We’re Christian W. Klay Winery, a hilltop estate up in the Laurel Highlands, and we’ve genuinely shaped our visit around groups arriving by coach. Let us walk you through why so many tours keep circling back to us.
Motorcoach tours from Morgantown often stop at Christian Klay Winery, about 40 minutes away in Chalk Hill, PA, offering guided tastings, 18 acres of vineyards, and flexible tour lengths to fit a bus schedule. The winery is near Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Fallingwater, and groups can take home a keepsake wine bottle before continuing their route.
We’re Set Up for a Whole Busload
Pouring a few tastings is easy. Taking good care of an entire coach is a different thing, and it’s something we’ve gotten comfortable with over the years. We’re proud to be one of southwestern Pennsylvania’s premier venues, and we like to give groups the total wine experience: 18 acres of vineyards, our own boutique winemaking, a friendly guided tasting, and a shop to browse, all in one place. Your riders get the full story of the wine, not just a glass of it.
We’ll Work Around Your Schedule
We know a coach itinerary lives and dies by the clock, so we don’t lock you into a rigid format. We can stretch or trim the length of your tour and tasting to fit your day, whether you’ve got a relaxed afternoon to spend or a tight window before the next stop. And since we’re only about 40 minutes up the road from Morgantown, your group spends more time enjoying the wine and far less time sitting on the bus.
You’ve Got Real Reasons to Time Your Trip
If you’d like a little more happening during your visit, plan your trip around one of our events. We host our Lavender Festival and Chili Cook-Off, a Sunday afternoon music series out on the pavilion, our Murder Mystery Dinner Theaters, and a Holiday Open House, and every one of them is set up to welcome a coach group. Pick the season that suits your riders, and we’ll help you build the day around it.
We Send Everyone Home With a Keepsake
Our favorite part is the goodbye. We like your group to leave with a Taste of the Laurel Highlands in hand, and if you’d like something more personal, we can put together a custom-labeled wine split in a 375ml bottle. It’s a small thing that keeps the trip alive long after the bus pulls away, one pour at a time.
There’s Plenty to See Right Around Us
One reason we fit so well into a tour route is our neighborhood. We sit just minutes from Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, and the historic Stone House Inn, so we’re an easy pairing with the other stops your riders may already have on the list. We’re open year-round, seven days a week, with indoor seating, and you’re welcome to bring snacks along too. For a bigger group that needs a proper meal, we have access to a wide range of catering options.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, a great stop is one where everybody climbs back on the bus glad they came, and that’s what we’re after every single time.
