Saint Ynez Valley Wine Tour by Aviator - Our driver was experienced, very informative and helped us three wonderful wineries that had a nice selection of wines including pinot noir, our favorite. We ended up buying from two of the three wineries. Although the weather was dreary, we all still had alot of fun. We highly recommend this tour.

The Best Day! - My parents and I had the best time wine tasting in Santa Ynez. Our guide, Johannes, was amazing. The day started with a shuttle picking us up outside our hotel. Johannesburg asked each of us about our favorite wines and curated our day based on our feedback. I highly recommend this tour company. I regularly travel and try different experiences. This was a top five day!!! Thank you!

Beautiful day trip to wine country - Fun excursion to a scenic area of California. This was the only wine tour willing to accommodate a solo traveler, and was a worthwhile experience. Would definitely recommend.

Super enjoyable wine tour - Excellent tour of Santa Ynez Valley wineries. Guide was very knowledgeable, and engaging. Casual lunch at one of the wineries was great. Highlight of the trip was leaving the standard agenda and visiting Tomi winery. Winemaker/owner there gave us a fabulous explanation of how he makes his wines, which are really good.

Great experience - The trip was thoroughly enjoyable. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions. The drive to the Santa Ynez valley is beautiful and showed us a part of California that we didn’t know at all. The only reason for not giving the trip 5 stars was that the wine was just okay. Still I’d highly recommend the trip overall.
