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.

Don’t miss this amazing experience - Truly a great experience. We did this for my wife’s birthday and she was absolutely thrilled. William is a great tour guide. We’re not active bicyclists and loved it.

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.

Great wine tour - Great bike tour and wine tasting. Beautiful scenery. Excellent lunch. William was a great guide and the e bikes made the trip very comfortable. Our 13 year old had no problem with mileage. Great day trip if staying in Santa Barbara. Lovely to visit Solvang, with its Danish architecture and shops. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Tour - This was a very relaxing bike tour through the wine country of San Ynez valley and Solvang. William is a very knowledgeable and relaxed host. The e-bikes were well maintained and made the trek up hills very easy, good for any level of rider. The scenic route was great for pictures. Very leisurely pace and great wine tastings at the end.

Bike tour - What a beautiful way to see the Santa Ynez Valley! William was a wonderful guide, giving us information about the area along the way. We upgraded to e-bikes, they were awesome after hiking in the Channel Islands for 3 days! We loved getting fresh air and being out doors rather than having a driving tour. Stopped in Solvang, such a cute place. The olive oil and wine tastings were great. Bought our favorites at each. Highly recommend!

Great biking day in the Valley - We had the most delightful e bike tour in the SY valley. William was a terrific guide and host. Planning was easy and he always responded quickly to our questions during booking. He was prompt and offered insights about the area. The bike route was gorgeous and we stopped at many fabulous viewing spots. The e-bikes were so much fun. William then prepared a yummy lunch picnic style at a vineyard. We did have 2 wine samplings and the locations were both special. This is great to do with your friends or family. We hope to do it again in the future.
