Driving
The Wine Line primarily serves guests already in the Santa Ynez Valley or Santa Barbara areas, providing pick-up and drop-off services from hotels, vacation rentals, and private residences. If you are driving from outside the area, approach the Santa Ynez Valley via Highway 101. From the south, exit at 96B (Garden Street) in Santa Barbara and follow signs towards the valley. From the north, also use exit 96B. Parking options vary at each winery; many offer free parking.
Taxi/Ride-Share
If you are relying on taxis or ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft to reach a central pick-up point in the Santa Ynez Valley, be aware that their availability can be unreliable. It's advisable to pre-book transportation with local taxi services like Solvang Taxi & Wine Tours or Wine Country Cab. A short taxi ride within Solvang or Buellton will typically cost between $15 and $30.
