Great tour guide (Caco, like Taco but with a "C")! Fun places. Easy. We toured three wineries and loved the drive to each, and the offerings, too!
Chris was the absolute best driver for our winery day! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and took amazing care of us. Chris is very familiar with the area and is a wine maker, so was very good to have with us to teach us more about wine and wine country. He really made our day and our experience.
i was gifted this amazing experience for my 58th birthday. LISA ANDERSON is AMAZING. There is no number high enough to rate her. She is one of a kind. I cant wait for my next tour, and i most definitely want Lisa for my next tour..
Such a great tour. Johannes was an amazing tour guide. Stopped at 3 great wineries. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which was a plus.
Fantastic day, did a private wine tour. Tour guide Sunny was amazing, kind, funny and accomodating. Her wine knowledge will blow you away. She let Folded Hills winery know it was our 20th anniversary and they gave us a few gifts with a hand written note of all the winery staff....very touching.
Decided to throw a surprise trip for my fiancé four months after the birth of our son, and the team went above and beyond for us. From Skylar, who handled all the logistics and last-minute requests, to our tour guide, Sunny, who was an angel disguised as a tour guide + sommelier, we couldn’t be anymore thankful for all the hospitality. We truly enjoyed every second of it and can’t wait to be back!
Highly recommend! We were taken care of from when we got on the shuttle to when we were dropped off. Don’t think twice about booking!
Our wine guide was absolutely wonder his knowledge of wines and the areas was great we learned so much and ge took the time to make our tour to our personal likes I will be back
This was truly amazing!!! We did this for a bachelorette party and it was well worth the money. We loved all 3 wineries and our lunch was incredible! Our guide, Sunny, was THE BEST!!!! She made the whole trip so fun and knew so much about wine and the area! Highly recommend!
Very well organized, responsive to questions; Willing to adapt tour to our group preferences. Warm, personal informative guides! Definitely one of the highlights of our week visit to Santa Barbara!
