Amazing wine country experience! - We had SUCH an incredible time on this e-bike tour through Los Olivos and the surrounding wine country. Our guide, William, is a sommelier and his knowledge of wine and the region made the experience even more special. He was engaging, informative, and clearly passionate about what he does.
The bikes were really fun and easy to ride, and it was the perfect way to explore the area. We visited beautiful locations including wineries, lavender farms, and even stopped for an olive oil tasting, all in a really relaxed, scenic setting.
One of the highlights was the lunch William prepared. It was absolutely fantastic, a beautifully set picnic table with delicious charcuterie and great music playing. It felt like such a special, thoughtfully curated moment in the middle of wine country.
The wines were excellent and the winery we visited afterward was phenomenal. It’s amazing how many great experiences they fit into a single tour without it ever feeling rushed.
Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Santa Barbara or the surrounding areas! It was easily one of the highlights of our trip!

Amazing bike tour - don't miss this! - Group of four of us went to celebrate a friend's birthday and we had an amazing time! William was so considerate and knowledgeable - it was really cool to learn more about the vineyards in the area. And the views were incredible! We particularly appreciated how easy it was to feel comfortable on the e-bike, it was really quick to pick up how to ride them for us and we were total beginners. The pedal assist was fantastic to have while climbing the beautiful hills - we were grateful for it! Highly recommend this experience if you are in the area!

Amazing way to explore wine country! - Had an absolutely wonderful time! It was our first time on e-bikes and it was a blast. William was a great guide and SO knowledgeable about the area and wines. Ended the ride with a gorgeous picnic lunch and some wines, and then a trip to a fantastic winery to finish off the tour. Would highly recommend!!

Wine, Views, and E-Bike Fun—A Santa Barbara Must! - Went on the I Bike Santa Barbara Wine Tour with my boyfriend during the week and it felt super private, just us, our guide William, and one other couple. The 16-mile ride is honestly effortless thanks to the e-bikes, so you can go as easy or as hard as you want while taking in incredible views. William is amazing and shares so many fun details, including stops at the missionary and Solvang. The wines we tried were excellent, and we even ended up bringing home some delicious olive oil. If you’re in Santa Barbara, this is a must-do experience. Highly recommended for couples or anyone looking for fun, learning, and a little adventure!

Unique way to tour wine country and earn those tastings! - The most fun way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We were visiting Santa Barbara and wanted to see some of the vineyards. If we were more local - this would be a great tour to also invite friends along! The e-bikes were easy to operate and made the tour so much more accessible with 5 electric assist speeds! William was on a road bike and kept a comfortable pace - stopping every few miles to show us a landmark, an estate, even a stop in Solvang with enough time to use the bathrooms and get a danish:) After the ride, we had some olive oil and vinegar tastings - and unexpected way to enjoy the unique flavors of the area that isn’t wine. We even purchased some to bring a little taste is Los Olivos home with us! William prepared a delightful lunch with a charcuterie board for each pair/group and 3 wine tastings from local vineyards. He even had some birthday decorations for my husband- very thoughtful!! He then provided some delish sandwiches and after lunch, we drove to a nearby winery and enjoyed a selection of 5 tastings of their wines - enjoyed the beautiful weather and wandered the vineyards at our leisure. It was a great day and I recommend for any with an interest to get a little active and see the landscape up close.

Mini vacation day - Beautiful scenic bike ride stopping for views and points of interest. Lunch and wine under oak trees was delicious. Final stop at winery was a great cap to the day.
