It is a delightful experience held in an idyllic location in California. The wines are varied and tour exposed us to a spectrum we might not otherwise have explored. The tour guide (Johan) was excellent; prompt, well informed, educational and a very good driver. Can’t think of a better way to spend five hours at a very equitable price.

I booked for my partner and I on Valentine’s Day. What a great choice we made booking the winery tour. Linda was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, and had a great hospitality. We got lucky with the group we got because at the end of the trip we had many laughs and great memories.

We went up for a Valentine’s Day wine tour and could not have been happier with our decision. This is in largely in part due to our tour guide Johnny A! While the wine and vineyards were delicious and beautiful, Johnny truly added an extra spark that made the trip a true experience that we will never forget. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to try some good wine, to see the beautiful SB wine country or just to have an awesome wine day - and would highly recommend to do it with Johnny A!

Pick up and drop off times vary drastically. We were told we’d be picked up at 9:35 (earlier than advertised) and not actually picked up until after 9:45. In addition we were dropped off past 5:30. Way longer day than advertised. In addition what we received for the price was mediocre. One of our wineries was not very professional regarding purchases by the glass. Our last winery was our favorite however they were not prepared for our party size nor were they aware we were part of a tour. I live in N. CA and have been to many wineries and don’t think the price paid was a good value for what we received.

This was the best way to go to wine country from Santa Barbara. It was safe, delicious, and we had a great local guide with Daniel who entertained us with stories and local info. We fell in love with the area, and can’t wait to go again!
