Great Winery tour experience for a First Timer! - What an amazing experience from beginning to end! First, my booking was last minute but they were completely accommodating. Sylar was kind and did my booking over the phone to make it easy for me. Linda was the driver for the day. Linda was great. She was full of knowledge about wine country , Santa Barbara, and Santa Ynez. You provide you lunch order in advance. I has an amazing chicken sandwich with sundries tomatoes. Perfect for wine tasting. Every winery we went to was warm and welcoming. They shared knowledge of wine but there was no pressure to buy anything. It was more about enjoying the wine and the beautiful wine and weather. There are bathrooms at every stop. The van is clean and comfortable. I can't wait to go back and try my next adventure with Santa Barbara Adventure Company! Thank you Linda!

Ready to go again - what a wonderful day of great wines! - Fascinating information and delicious wines! The three different vineyards we visited were each so beautiful, and both the vineyard staff and the tour guide taking me around were so warm and welcoming! It was a little far from where I was staying but was so worth the trip. Never expected such a good variety to be grown here and sampled on the tour! Sunny was the best tour guide I've ever had on any tour - so engaging and knowledgeable!!

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!

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.
