We enjoyed this. Sunny was an excellent and attentive guide and each winery was of good quality. Thanks very much! - This tour was delightful, educational, and good value. Comfortable (the air-conditioned van was excellent in the heat) and our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Special thanks to Sunny for welcoming and guiding us through the day with her expertise & care. We loved this tour & would recommend it. Also, the lunch paninis/ salads were delicious. Thankyou !

The sprinter picked us up from the hotel, took us to three wineries, got us a yummy lunch, and returned us to our hotel! - We had a blast on the wine tour! We had the best guide named Sunny. Sunny picked us up from the hotel in the sprinter van, took us to three wineries, got us a yummy lunch from Panino, and returned us back to our hotel.

Wine Tasting Tour in Santa Ynez - The Wine Tasting Tour in Santa Ynez trip was wonderful. Our guide, Johanis (sp) was an expert on wines and regions and taste. He gave my husband and I information about wine we never knew and we left being more knowledgeable. The wineries that were chosen was excellent and the wines were as well. I would book this again in my future travels to Santa Barbara. Thank you!

One of the best 7 hrs available! - Fabulous day, with the knowledgeable, informative and lovely, Sunny. We were picked up from where we were staying and were driven to three wine tastings over a period of seven hours. All the wines were superb and if we hadn't been flying, would have bought more bottles than we did. A lovely day and thoroughly recommended.
