Above and beyond! - I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide and driver, Cary, was AMAZING! He went above and beyond to take care of everything - and I mean everything - on this trip. He learned everyone’s name (there were 10 people on this tour) and each one of us felt welcome. Someone accidentally ended up with a different bottle of wine that they hadn’t ordered, and while we were all tasting wine at the next winery, he drove back to the previous winery to exchange it for the right one. At the end of the tour, my friends and I were taking about hailing a taxi to get back to our AirBnB with all our boxes of wine; Cary offered to drop us off at our pad and when we got there, he even carried everything up to the house for us! I will be recommending this tour to everyone back home, and recommending they get Cary for their guide. That man deserves a raise!!!

Excellent Wine Tour - This tour was great. We went to 3 very interesting wineries, two of which I really liked, and the third of which I enjoyed despite not loving the wine selections. So that part of the tour was really enjoyable! But it was really Cary, our driver/DJ/guide, that tied the whole tour together. From the start, his vibe and attitude got things off to a fun start. He made an effort to learn all our names, encouraged us to interact with each other, and was constantly making sure we were taken care of. At the end, he even carried all of our purchases to our door. Honestly, he exceeded my expectations. Definitely give the man a raise! Overall, I would do this tour again.

The perfect way to spend the day, sipping wine along the way. - My husband and I had a really great time on our tour. We didn’t know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had with our fellow tour goers. Our guide, Kris was very knowledgeable and so friendly. She was attentive and let us know what to expect. She truly made for a wonderful customer experience. We toured three great wineries: Lincourt, Beckman and Vega. At Lincourt, Blake greeted us warmly and had really lovely explanations of the wine and what pairings would go well with each. We ended up joining the wine club as Lincourt also has Napa locations we’d like to try. At Beckman, Kip was so knowledgeable and taught us all about the wines we were tasting and helped us pronounce the French names and even shared some Italian. We had to join the wine club as the wines we sampled were delicious and the price points reasonable. At Vega we loved the cool breeze, the lovely seating and most of all interacting with the llamas, bunnies, piglets and most of all the baby goats. One goat we nicknamed “Blackie” even let us scratch its head. We would go on another tour with Grapeline Wine Tours in a heartbeat and in fact we are planning our next one now. 10 out of 10, would do this again.

Santa Ynez Sideways Wine Tour - Our tour of the Santa Ynez Valley wineries was absolutely amazing! Thank you to our driver Cary who treated us with such great care from the beginning. His shuttle picked my wife and I up at our hotel lobby on time, and to our delight greeted us by name. Cary’s knowledge of the region is without a doubt the most enjoyable part of the tour. He shared many interesting facts, such as funny Sideways movie trivia and other historical facts along our route. He carefully placed our purchased items safely in the shuttle after each stop, then was sure we had what we needed along the way. Thank you to Grapeline Tours Santa Barbara for making our trip memorable!
