Wine with a view - This was a great wine weekend! Our driver, Johannes, was great. He gave us topographical information, celebrity information, and, of course, wine information. He was relaxed and let us really enjoy the day.

The best wine tour experience! Johan made the day absolutely perfect. - We had the most wonderful experience on our wine tour! Johannes was an incredible driver and Sommelier. He was so knowledgeable about each winery we visited, the different types of wines, and all the details behind what we were drinking. As someone who had never been on a wine tour before, I really appreciated how informative and approachable he was—he made learning about wine so fun and easy to understand.
Johannes truly made the day perfect for us. The views, the tastings, and the entire experience were unforgettable. I would absolutely go on this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing wine country adventure.

Great Tour - Had a great time. Pick up from our hotel was very easy. Lunch was yummy! We got picked up around 10:20am and got dropped back off at our hotel at 5:30pm. Our tour guide Caco (sp?) was fantastic!

Five-Star Experience – A Must-Do for Wine Lovers! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had the most incredible time with Santa Barbara Adventure Company! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully curated. The tour guide, Johannes was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about wine and the Santa Ynez Valley region. Each stop on the tour offered a unique experience—from stunning vineyard views to intimate tastings with local winemakers.
The transportation was comfortable, and the pace of the tour felt just right—not rushed, but never dull. We especially appreciated the behind-the-scenes access at one of the wineries and stories that brought each winery to life.
Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just getting started, this tour offers something for everyone. Highly recommend!!

Guide was great and lunch... - Guide was great and lunch was excellent. First winery was good but next two were very slow in bringing each flight of wine. Got bored waiting for them. Second winery was very nice in letting me have a cocktail instead of the wine tasting.
