The tour was so great. The wineries chosen had delicious wines and the picnic lunch was too. The host Cary was fantastic. Highly recommend to all.

I recommend this tour without hesitation. Our host Kris was warm, inviting, energetic, and extremely knowledgeable. My niece and I shared the tour with a second group (3 women) and Kris did a great job of setting a warm and collegial tone within the group without added pressure of interacting too much (though we did because our groupmates were awesome!). Kris was really professional, safe, and responsible while still making sure the culture of the tour was fun, relaxed, and really special. We went to three vineyards that were all outstanding and offered unique experiences. The lunch that was provided was plenty of food and delicious. All around wonderful!
Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that Kris made your tour warm, inviting, and full of energy. We're delighted that you enjoyed the unique experiences at the outstanding vineyards and the delicious lunch. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful experience!
Driver was great. Anthony. Super nice and knowledgeable. The rest was ok. The first winery Beckman was the best and the only one you wouldn’t be able to go on your own. The second was mediocre and empty and the third - Firestone - you don’t need a tour to go on. Everyone knows that one. They drop you off, give you a glass and let you do your thing. No real explanation or engagement except at the first venue. If you’re looking for a little more than a good driver and some basic wineries, this isn’t for you
We're grateful for your detailed feedback! Your positive words about Anthony warmed our hearts. Your insights on the wineries are incredibly helpful, and we'll use them to make our offerings even better. Your perspective is invaluable, and we're eager to have another opportunity to create a more tailored experience for you in the future.
Wow! Incredible! Fun! Smooth! Easy! Our tour director Anthony was incredible, very knowledgeable, focused, engaged, professional and a great person to hang with. He provided a perfect tour and tasting experience at Gainey Vineyards, Kalyra and Foley vineyards. The pre-ordered lunch was great and flavorful. At Kalyra, one of the oldest vineyards in Santa Ynez, also the location for scene in the movie "Sideways" The booking, tracking and confirmation process via text and email was well planned and executed, they do a great job at managing the tour. I recommend this tour for anyone who comes to Santa Barbara and the greater Santa Ynez valley, do not miss it!!!
Thank you for the incredible review! We're thrilled Anthony provided a knowledgeable, focused, and engaging tour experience. It's fantastic to hear that Gainey Vineyards, Kalyra, and Foley vineyards lived up to your expectations. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again in Santa Barbara and the greater Santa Ynez valley!
Had a wonderful time. Enjoyed all 3 wineries. Also met very nice people that were part of the group. Our guide, Caryngton, was friendly, funny and attentive. Would recommend this activity.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you had a wonderful time, enjoyed the wineries, met very nice people and that Caryngton's friendliness and humor was appreciated. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Looking forward to hosting you again!
Anthony was our awesome host and driver. He took great care of us and two other couples. This experience started off as a romantic to-do for me and my hub; but ended with us making great friends with two other couples sharing life gems and a lovely time. If you are worried about sharing this experience with strangers- change your mindset. You will meet amazing people! Each winery had its own style, ambiance and flavor. I enjoyed each one. Each host was informative and made our group feel welcomed. There will be wine you like more than others, but that's the point: to taste and see. This tour included a lunch. I had the curry chicken sandwich with chips and bottled water. It was refreshing and a nice balance with the wine. I recommend this tour 100%!
Carrington our driver was very attentive and provided lots of info. Wineries were fantastic! Tasted wines that could not be found elsewhere
My friend and I loved the tour. Anthony, our driver was very informative. The drive and wineries was beautiful.
What a wonderful trip!! Loved all three wineries and Carrington was an amazing tour guide, very informative and extremely helpful. 5 stars for him and the tour!!
My sister and I had an absolute blast with our tour guide Caryngton on our tour of Solvang area wineries! He gave us just the right amount of time at each winery, and picked up a fantastic lunch for us along the way. He gave us a nice little history of the area while we drove. At the end of our three wineries, he volunteered to give us some time in Los Olivos, which was a great little bonus at the end of the day. I would highly recommend asking for Caryngton specifically when you do your Santa Inez wine tour! I should note that we were picked up and dropped off at Wine Valley Inn and Cottages in Solvang, where we were staying so that was very convenient for us!
