The Sip & Explore Club

### Field Trips for Grown-Ups

Membership: FREE • Events: Members Only
“Illinois requires onboard alcohol to be served only on private group charters. That means everyone sipping on The Yellow Buzz Bus needs to be a group member — keeps us legal and keeps the drinks flowing.”

Welcome to The Sip & Explore Club — a fun, free social group for adults who love exploring breweries, wine bars, unique local spots, and themed adventures throughout the Chicago suburbs.
Each outing includes safe, comfortable transportation provided by the organizer, so you can relax, sip, explore, and enjoy the journey without driving, parking, or planning.
Transportation is always included in the event ticket, making every experience stress-free and easy.

Tiny legal thingy:
The Sip & Explore Club is a fun social group operated under LeClub Visions LLC (yes, we’re responsible adults… on paper).
The Buzz Bus is also one of our official assumed business names, which basically means:
We party with style AND with proper documentation. ✨

**Illinois law allows alcohol on board a chartered bus as long as the driver has zero access to it. So we keep the party in the back, the sober superhero in the front, and everyone stays safe and compliant with 625 ILCS 5/11-502. ✨

**VIP service is confirmed only after prepayment is received. Once your pickup distance is calculated, you will receive a payment link or instructions. VIP reservations are held for 2 hours — after that, unpaid VIP requests are released to other members.
