We have transformed the standard motorcycle sidecar to accommodate two passengers and now we have the world’s first and only fleet of tandem sidecars. Whether you’re looking for a new fun activity or just itching to ride the vines in style, our ultimate goal is to provide our guests a unique, immersive, and intimate way to get to know this beautiful wine region the way we know best – with elegance, class, and a bit of swagger. So, grab your loved ones and friends, buckle up, and let’s ride! We are contracted with a couple different locations in the area and we will be visiting 2 of those tasting rooms on this tour.

Rod was so great! Views were amazing! We went to one bar and then decided to just do a tour of the foothills and the ocean coast! Would recommend!
This is a must do in Santa Barbara! Absolutely amazing tour with Rod, would 1000% recommend! Great wine and fantastic views! :)
Rod was an amazing sidecar tour driver and made sure we had a truly memorable experience. At first, we were a little disappointed because the advertisement was a bit misleading, with pictures showing tours riding between vineyards. In reality, the tour takes place in downtown Santa Barbara and includes visits to a couple of wine tasting rooms. However, Rod completely turned the experience around for us. He was committed to making sure we had a great time and even gave us the option to either visit another wine tasting room or enjoy more of the sidecar experience with a scenic drive. My friend and I are always up for an adventure, so we chose the scenic ride—and we’re so glad we did! Rod was a fantastic driver, very personable, and made the entire experience extra fun. His energy and friendliness really made the tour special. Next time we’re in Santa Barbara, we will definitely book another tour with him. It was such a blast!
My friend and I had the best time !!!! So much fun and better than I coupd have ever expected!! We loved our driver he was anazing!!!!
Rod gave a great tour of Santa Barbra and has exceptional knowledge of the area. A once in a lifetime experience. The weather and clear views of the Pacific from the mountains were unbelievable. Highly recommend!
Rod was absolutely fantastic! He took us to several beautiful locations and gladly took pictures for us. The wineries were amazing and offered a variety of different choices. The ride was super fun and I felt safe. I would highly recommend this adventure!
Based on the description, we expected the tour to take us through vineyards. But that wasn't the case. You go to bars and do wine tasting -- blah! When I shared my disappointment with our driver, Rod, he listened. Rather than sticking to the original plan of bar hopping, he took us up the winding Gibraltar Road, where we were treated to spectacular views of Santa Barbara, the ocean, the Los Padres mountain range. and more. What started as a disappointing tour became an unforgettable experience, thanks to Rod. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the day. Thanks, Rod.
Our tour guide took us all over Santa Barbara. It was the best tour of a life time. Fabulous. 🍷……..
Fantastic experience with lovely tour guide Rod. Disappointed that tickets only included 2 wine tasting rather than 3 as advertised and paid for. Also some confusion re who was paying for tastings which Rod resolved after some time. But bike tour round SB was great and very enjoyable. Check your booking carefully
Our driver was wonderful, very sweet and willing to take pictures of us 5/5 stars for him! He was a bit speedy but nothing we couldn’t handle! So hang on! The only complaint I have is that on the Viator listing, it says that the wine car tour includes alcoholic beverages, and that wine tastings are provided for each individual, which felt very misleading because they gave the impression that the money we paid for the sidecar trip would include the tastings. For two people it was $330 plus another $240 for two wineries. We found out we had to pay at each winery after we had already ordered. To be fair I should have assumed that we would have to pay each one however the listing made it seem like it was all inclusive. My partner and I felt like this information was not clearly given to us so this part gets a 1/5 for a misleading listing.
