Great tour not too strenuous! - William was great guide and very knowledgeable about the region and the wines at the end of the ride! The 16 mile ride with the E bikes was easy for any level of rider.

10/10 Bike & Wine Tour - My sister & I were looking for wine tours, we’re so glad to have found this one! It was the most perfect day. We loved having the e-bike option since there were times it was a bit hilly. William was a fantastic tour guide! His knowledge of the history of the area & different vineyards was incredible. It was amazing to learn/listen to him. The course he took us on had a little bit of everything! Sprawling hills of vineyards, lavender farm, a cute Danish town & even miniature ponies! We ended the bike tour with a balsamic & olive oil tasting before enjoying a delicious lunch followed by 2 different wine tasting flights. Both vineyards were stunning in their own way. We definitely recommend booking this tour!

Incredible Experience! - Three of us were visiting SB for a milestone birthday retreat and took William's Santa Ynez Valley Biking and Wine Tasting Tour. We stayed at the Ritz in Santa Barbara, and William picked us up in the morning and then delivered us back to our hotel, after the tour. From arrival, he was a storyteller with a wealth of knowledge about the area. The e-bikes, personalized water bottle, informational tour through Santa Ynez, stop at Solvang for some danishes, provided charcuterie board and lunch, and tasting at two wineries were all so much fun and the absolute highlight of our time in SB. Thank you, William, for such a treat and a good time!

Anyone can do this! - Never been in an e-bike until this and I’m now looking into it. Anyone that can balance on a bike and has full mobility can do this. I didn’t break a sweat. 16 miles was easy! The tour was beautiful! William, our guide was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable with all the vineyards. We got to walk around Solvang for about 20 minutes - super cute town. The picnic lunch was super cute! And allowed us to chat with the rest of the group that did the tour. Anyone going to this are should most definitely do this tour. Could not say enough great things about it.

E-bike ride in a relaxed setting - William was a wealth of knowledge about the area. The places we stopped were picturesque and the vendors extremely friendly filling water bottles with ice. The e- bikes were a new experience for us. We loved the trip. Not stressful or strenuous with the help of that motor. I highly recommend.
