The most fun way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We were visiting Santa Barbara and wanted to see some of the vineyards. If we were more local - this would be a great tour to also invite friends along! The e-bikes were easy to operate and made the tour so much more accessible with 5 electric assist speeds! William was on a road bike and kept a comfortable pace - stopping every few miles to show us a landmark, an estate, even a stop in Solvang with enough time to use the bathrooms and get a danish:) After the ride, we had some olive oil and vinegar tastings - and unexpected way to enjoy the unique flavors of the area that isn’t wine. We even purchased some to bring a little taste is Los Olivos home with us! William prepared a delightful lunch with a charcuterie board for each pair/group and 3 wine tastings from local vineyards. He even had some birthday decorations for my husband- very thoughtful!! He then provided some delish sandwiches and after lunch, we drove to a nearby winery and enjoyed a selection of 5 tastings of their wines - enjoyed the beautiful weather and wandered the vineyards at our leisure. It was a great day and I recommend for any with an interest to get a little active and see the landscape up close.
Experience Santa Ynez Valley Wine Country in a truly immersive way. Pedal comfortably on a Rad Power E-bike or challenge yourself on the hills with a Poseidon sport bike through quaint farms, idyllic Valley towns and stunning vineyards. Enjoy the fruits of those vineyards upon completing the course with two thoughtfully selected tastings at the featured wineries. Accompanying your estate winery experience is a locally sourced gourmet picnic lunch. . • Two wine tastings and olive oil tasting are truly representative of the region from venerable local producers. Your guide has over 20 years of sommelier level wine experience. • The wine country picnic is thoughtfully presented and a perfect pairing to the local wines.

William was wonderful! The trip was great. Got to experience several things along the way. Very patient and knowledgeable.

Truly a great experience. We did this for my wife’s birthday and she was absolutely thrilled. William is a great tour guide. We’re not active bicyclists and loved it.
