The Scoundrel's Guide to the JPC Trail Hop On-Hop Off Bus

Let’s face it, planning a multi-stop wine adventure is about as fun as cleaning the spit buckets. Lucky for you, the wretches and rebels behind Jason Parkes Customs have conjured up the ultimate remedy: the Jason Parkes Customs Trail Bus. A hop-on-hop-off chariot for the people, this noble steed takes you through the madcap world of our wine-soaked family, from ciders to cellars, Crown to chaos.
Whether you’re a seasoned wine swindler or a first-time taster with a thirst for the unknown, this bus is your golden ticket. The route loops through the JPC haunts: The Hatch, Black Swift, Truck 59 Cider, The Hatching Post, and, of course, the gloriously ruined walls of Crown & Thieves.
No maps. No DD negotiations. No stress. Just you, your glass, and a wild ride through the Westside's finest weirdos and winemakers.
Why Ride?
- Hop on and off as you please at any JPC location
- Enjoy tastings, food, and chaos at every stop
- Reservations at each stop encouraged
- No judgement, no snobs, just great drinks and better stories
- Run by us. Which means rules are…just guidelines anyway
The Crown Stop:
At Crown & Thieves, you’ll find the usual suspects: bawdy bottles, wild tales, and wine that walks the line between genius and felony. Whether you're sipping a Dimber Damber or plotting your next sample, this is your chaotic royal stop on the route.
Details:
The JPC Bus runs throughout summer, Friday to Sunday, $55 per person. Check @jpctrailbus on Instagram for updates, or visit the Jason Parkes Customs site here for the full route, times, and FAQs.
So grab your mates, your mum, and your thirst for adventure. The JPC Trail Bus is rolling and we saved you a seat next to the scoundrels.
