First of all, the customer service in booking/tweaking the tour was excellent. Next, “Caco” picked us up right on time and was a SUPER driver/guide, for the six of us in the mini van. Gave us lots of fun info on the area as we went along. Very personable guy! The three wineries we visited were fabulous, especially loved Brick Barn, but Koehler and Refugio Ranch were great also. Lunch was delicious and appreciated the efforts to provide it for us. Fantastic day tasting wine in the sunshine!

They were on time and the driver tried to be helpful. The wineries were not very nice compared to what is available in the area. My understanding is the town of Los Olives has 1200 people and 50 wineries.

Sunny was great and very informative. She went out of her way to make it a great experience. Despite challenging weather- cold and windy

We had a great time on our wine trip. Just 4 of us which was perfect. We boosted some great wineries, all at the suggestion of our tour guide. Money well spent!

Kendra_B

We had a small group of six with the best tour guide, Linda. I have been on previous trips to Santa Ynez wineries and this was FANTASTIC. Linda was so knowledgeable about the region and made the tour seem less. Our group became fast friends enjoying every winery and every toast. We WILL be back!

Our group of nine booked the "Wine Shuttle" with Santa Barbara Wine Country Tours and had a great day in the Santa Ynez Valley. We chose the shuttle since we knew the wineries we wanted to visit. Our driver, Sunny, was great - good for a laugh and knew how to balance when to be a guide/host and when to just let us relax and have fun. The van was clean and comfortable. Arrived on time for pickup at our Airbnb and dropped off right as expected.

My husband and I were celebrating my birthday and with no expectation, we had a great time... we met a wonderful couple that partnered with during our wine tasting and lunch. Our driver was awesome... our day would not have been the same without him.

This tour was amazing and perfect for what we were looking for! Our tour guide, Johannes, was so kind and knowledgeable and really made the experience worth it. The day was very hot and Johannes continued to edit our itinerary and brought us to some amazing vineyards that he knew would be covered and comfortable for us all. I 100% recommend booking this trip.
