This afternoon tour was...

This afternoon tour was perfect for our quick trip to SB. Rick provided a comfortable ride, knowledge about the area, helped us with our purchases and photos, and even grabbed some snacks to enhance the whole experience. Highly recommend!

Rick is your guy!

Rick is an exceptional tour guide of SB’s wine country. He was very thoughtful in ensuring we maximized our day together and is very knowledgeable of the regional nuances that make this part of the world so special. Spending the afternoon with Rick reassured me that a proper tour of wine country is the best way to experience and appreciate this area; wine tasting rooms can only offer an ounce of what we enjoyed past the Santa Ynez mountains. My family and I will be booking with Rick the next time I we are in SB and am keen that he is the only suitable guide for the experience!

Bday wine trip with the girls

Rick was an amazing guide on our afternoon wine tour. He kept all of my girlfriends entertained with jokes, stories, history of the area, and facts about wine. There were six of us celebrating my birthday and we all felt special and taken care of. Thanks for making my trip memorable.

Fun & Relaxing Wine Tour

My girlfriends and I truly enjoyed our Afternoon Winery Tour! Our driver, Ryan, was super fun and friendly and very knowledgeable, giving us information on the valley and vineyards we visited. He even helped us with dinner reservations! The owner also was very communicative, reaching out the morning of the tour with meeting and timing information. The wineries/vineyards we stopped at had excellent wine and extremely knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend this tour!

MUST DO!

Rick was accommodating, kind & personable! He texted us before the tour to get to know us and our wine experience. He went out of his way to make the trip special. He would mention our preferences to the tasting places and even went to find blankets for us when we got too cold. He’s a great guide and is very knowledgeable!
