VineHop 2025: Rain, Hail, or Shine – Ventura Charter Has You Covered

Share

Melbourne is known for two things: its incredible wine regions and its famously unpredictable weather. But when it comes to getting to and from one of the year’s most anticipated events — VineHop — there’s one thing attendees can always rely on: Ventura Charter.

As Melbourne’s largest bus operator, Ventura brings decades of experience, reliability, and flexibility to every event. And this year at VineHop 2025, we proved once again that rain, hail, or shine, we’ve got your transport covered.

Professional, Seamless Event Transport

VineHop isn’t your average wine festival. It’s a multi-venue celebration of craft beverages, gourmet food, and live music set across the picturesque Mornington Peninsula. That means moving thousands of people between venues safely and efficiently — and that’s where Ventura steps in.

For VineHop 2025, Ventura Charter delivered a comprehensive transport solution that kept everything running smoothly, no matter what Melbourne’s skies had in store. Our services included:

  • Senior Event Supervisors overseeing operations from planning to execution
  • On-Road Supervisors managing live movements and ensuring on-the-ground support
  • A fully staffed Operations Control Centre (OCC) to keep communication and coordination seamless
  • Extra buses and tow trucks on standby, prepared for any contingency
  • Real-time tracking with the Ventura Tracker app, keeping passengers informed and on schedule

This level of preparation means guests can simply enjoy the event — without worrying about delays, detours, or how they’ll get home.
