Reviews
Scott was an excellent host who truly took care of us. This wine tour was unique compared to others we've experienced globally, as we interacted directly with the winemakers instead of in a typical commercial environment. One of the locations was a production facility, which might not sound thrilling, but the tasting and conversation with the owner made it our top highlight. We loved every winery we visited. I highly suggest this tour if you’re in the area.
This wine tour was excellent! It was tailored to suit the preferences of the participants. As a wine enthusiast, I was eager to see my husband and best friend’s reactions, and they both had a fantastic time. I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking a relaxed wine experience in Santa Barbara.
Karina was an exceptional guide, showcasing extensive knowledge of Santa Barbara and its wine country. I highly recommend this tour. With only three couples participating, we enjoyed private tastings at each stop. I would definitely choose this experience again and ask for Karina as our guide.
What a lovely day spent exploring the Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez regions! Our tour guide, Karina, was both friendly and well-informed, sharing ample insights about the local area and wines while driving us in a very comfortable minibus. We appreciated the diversity of the small wine producers we visited, each offering unique wines and stunning settings. The lunch provided was tasty, and there were also plenty of snacks and water available during the tastings. I would definitely recommend this tour.
