The perfect way to spend a day in the countryside!@ giograpetour.com - This trip is exceptional! It is also my second trip with Santa Barbara Wine Tasting @ go grape.com. Our tour guide/driver was Cary and he was a very safe, knowledgeable and an enjoyable person. Cary picked us up at our hotel in Solvang The vans are very comfortable to ride in. and the wineries and countryside were beautiful. It was relaxing day (That could’ve been helped with the wine). We were treated to three wineries and one olive oil oil tasting. The James Murray winery and Vega wineries were exceptional. I cannot wait to return again. And we had a bonus tasting at an olive oil/vinegar farm. Delightful! Had a wonderful lunch included on the tour under the trees.

Wine and fun - Always a fun event. We're return clients and wouldn't go anywhere else. Ours was a small group, so, we had lots of great personal attention by owners John and Kim.

Sit back and enjoy wine tour! - A very relaxing, unrushed day tasting wines at 3 vineyards. Vineyard hosts were pleasant, informative and not pushy. Each vineyard was a unique experience! Our tour host, Anthony, was extremely knowledgeable, willing to talk wine and answer questions, professional, well-organized, and friendly. He did a superb job! One of the best benefits was being picked up and dropped off at our lodging. All-in-all a delightful day!

Wonderful way to celebrate my birthday!! - Bill and I had a WONDERFUL time celebrating my 70th birthday with Chris on the wine tour! The wines on the flight we tried at the first stop, Firestone weren't that great, except for the Cab which we both purchased - but the wine AND Dan at Koehler Winery was the BEST! I wish we'd gone back twice instead of going to Vega - it was a dinner/winery - the waiter/wine guy was so busy he didn't spend a lot of time with us discussing the wine and the amount was about 1/2 what is normally poured - plus there were kids running around and although it was unusual to tour their little "zoo" - we didn't pay to see animals (or SMELL animals) we paid to drink wine. I would not recommend them for future tours, IMO. All together I would definitely recommend your tour to anyone going up north! Thank you for a great celebration!
