Fun, easy day with a great guide.
Totally enjoyable day with Johannes. He was knowledgeable about all 3 wineries we visited, & it was a nice mix of wines. There were 11 people in our group, we had fun with all of them. Easy & fun was to enjoy Santa Barbara wine country.

Johannes was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. We had a wonderful day and enjoyed all the wineries.

Wine tour
A good day’s tour overall. Our tour guide was knowledgable, but didn’t sit with us at the tastings, which was a shame as we’re sure he would have elevated them further. Personally, we found the 3rd winery’s wines weren’t to our taste, but obviously that’s a purely subjective thing. Especially as other members of the group really enjoyed. Can’t please all the people all the time. But we did have a good day. Thank you.

Very nice experience, would recommend
Very nice trip. Our guide Lisa was great. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. Good driver. We enjoyed her so much, felt like having a new friend. The wineries we visited were beautiful and the wines were lovely.

Johnny was the BEST tour guide!
Johnny was our tour guide and he was absolutely a jewel! He took us around to 3 vineyards, safely, and was very knowledgeable as well as engaging from pickup back to our drop off. Unfortunately I got sick after the third vineyard but Johnny had all the essentials to take care of me during my unwell time. Even then, he was still engaging while also catering to my needs. We absolutely loved Johnny and had fun on this tour! Would definitely recommend him as a guide!

We thoroughly enjoyed our wine tour with Linda! She gave great information while driving about local geology and what makes this wine region so special. All 3 vineyards that we went to were on beautiful properties located in the hills, and generous with the pours during each tasting. Each winery was a little different, but all special in their own way. We had a round trip ride too and from our hotel, which was perfect for us traveling without a car. Highly recommend Linda as your wine guide, and this tour if you are visiting Santa Barbara!

My husband and I had a lovely experience touring the wineries of Santa Barbara on this tour. Our guide, Johann, was friendly, knowledgable and seemed to love his job, which is a plus. My only small criticism was about the lunch. We pre-ordered our lunches from a local sandwich shop and honestly...it wasn't very good. Mine wasn't and neither was my husband's, which is was unfortunate. At least one of the wineries we visited served food, and it would've been better had we been able to just order a meal at the winery for our lunch. But other than that, the scenery was gorgeous, we tasted many delicious wines--some varietals we'd never heard of--and it was an overall lovely experience.
