Wonderful winery tour in Santa Ynez. Thank you Cary for an exceptional day 🎉🍷😊🚜. Highly recommend him and Grapeline Tours!!
We're delighted to hear you had an exceptional day in Santa Ynez with Cary as your guide. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Cheers to more memorable moments with Grapeline Tours.
We had a great day. Beckman Vineyard was the best by a country mile. Our driver/companion Cary was amazing, he was cheerful, knowledgable, helpful and welcoming - oh and an excellent driver. He is a great asset for you.

Cary is indeed a fantastic asset to our team, and we're delighted he made your experience cheerful, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to hosting you again soon.
This trip is exceptional! It is also my second trip with Santa Barbara Wine Tasting @ go grape.com. Our tour guide/driver was Cary and he was a very safe, knowledgeable and an enjoyable person. Cary picked us up at our hotel in Solvang The vans are very comfortable to ride in. and the wineries and countryside were beautiful. It was relaxing day (That could’ve been helped with the wine). We were treated to three wineries and one olive oil oil tasting. The James Murray winery and Vega wineries were exceptional. I cannot wait to return again. And we had a bonus tasting at an olive oil/vinegar farm. Delightful! Had a wonderful lunch included on the tour under the trees.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an exceptional trip with us again. Cary will be delighted to know you appreciated his safe driving, knowledge, and enjoyable company. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the comfort of our vans and the beauty of the wineries and countryside. We're glad you loved the Andrew Murray and Vega wineries, as well as the delightful olive oil and vinegar tasting. It sounds like the relaxing day you were hoping for! We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful experience.
Kris was an excellent guide. Super knowledgeable. She kept us on schedule and we had zero delays/problems. She was courteous and she catered to our every need. Would use again!
Thank you for the review! We're thrilled to hear that Kris provided an excellent and seamless experience for you. Her knowledge and attention to detail are truly appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future!
Always a fun event. We're return clients and wouldn't go anywhere else. Ours was a small group, so, we had lots of great personal attention by owners John and Kim.
Thank you for being loyal return clients! We're thrilled to hear that you always find our events fun and enjoyable. It's fantastic to know that you appreciated the personal attention from owners John and Kim. We look forward to hosting you again for more memorable experiences.
Bill and I had a WONDERFUL time celebrating my 70th birthday with Chris on the wine tour! The wines on the flight we tried at the first stop, Firestone weren't that great, except for the Cab which we both purchased - but the wine AND Dan at Koehler Winery was the BEST! I wish we'd gone back twice instead of going to Vega - it was a dinner/winery - the waiter/wine guy was so busy he didn't spend a lot of time with us discussing the wine and the amount was about 1/2 what is normally poured - plus there were kids running around and although it was unusual to tour their little "zoo" - we didn't pay to see animals (or SMELL animals) we paid to drink wine. I would not recommend them for future tours, IMO. All together I would definitely recommend your tour to anyone going up north! Thank you for a great celebration!
Thank you for choosing us to celebrate your 70th birthday! We're thrilled you had a WONDERFUL time with Kris on the wine tour. We appreciate your detailed feedback, and we'll certainly consider your comments about the wineries for future tours. We're delighted you enjoyed Koehler Winery and appreciate your recommendation. Cheers to more celebrations in the future!
A very relaxing, unrushed day tasting wines at 3 vineyards. Vineyard hosts were pleasant, informative and not pushy. Each vineyard was a unique experience! Our tour host, Anthony, was extremely knowledgeable, willing to talk wine and answer questions, professional, well-organized, and friendly. He did a superb job! One of the best benefits was being picked up and dropped off at our lodging. All-in-all a delightful day!
Thank you for the delightful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a very relaxing and unrushed day experiencing three unique vineyards. It's fantastic that Anthony's knowledge and friendly demeanor added to your enjoyment. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to hosting you again for more delightful days!
Very nice setup with a great and informative host that led our tasting tour with lunch. We visited 3 wineyards, the first actually in my view was the best at Gainey. We can recommend this tour it was great value and the lunch on the terrace at Kalyra was very pleasent and of good quality.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the setup and had a great and informative host during your tasting tour. We appreciate your recommendation and are delighted you found the tour to be great value. Looking forward to hosting you again!
Great tour. Chris, our driver was very attentive and knowledgeable of the area and wineries. I will go again with Grapeline Tours. Thank you for a special time.
