Fun & Relaxing Wine Tour - My girlfriends and I truly enjoyed our Afternoon Winery Tour! Our driver, Ryan, was super fun and friendly and very knowledgeable, giving us information on the valley and vineyards we visited. He even helped us with dinner reservations! The owner also was very communicative, reaching out the morning of the tour with meeting and timing information. The wineries/vineyards we stopped at had excellent wine and extremely knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend this tour!

MUST DO! - Rick was accommodating, kind & personable! He texted us before the tour to get to know us and our wine experience. He went out of his way to make the trip special. He would mention our preferences to the tasting places and even went to find blankets for us when we got too cold. He’s a great guide and is very knowledgeable!

Excellent Private Tour For Girl’s Trip 2021!!!! - If you are looking for a tour, this is the one! There are tone of companies out there but Rick is amazing. This is the second wine tour I’ve done with him and we went to completely different wineries without me asking! My friend booked the tour upon my recommendation and we were not disappointed. We opted for lunch this time around and he delivered a gourmet experience in a gorgeous setting! I would gladly do his tour again and again! He is definitely a top notch , high quality tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable, personal touches were excellent as well! He made sure to play our favorite artist on the ride after some travel conversation! Excellent company, elite vineyards and an amazing guide/ owner! Thank you Rick! You are great!

Amazing Service - We booked the Afternoon Wine Tour - our day did not fill up but we were offered a discounted private tour. It was great to have that option because that day worked best in our schedule and discount was much less than other private tours. Rick was a very accommodating guide, friendly and very knowledgeable. We went to a charming olive oil tasting and got to spend time in Los Olivos as well as our 2 wineries. Overall great experience. Highly recommend.

Perfect Afternoon of Wine Tasting - Rick is the only choice for a wine tour while you are in Santa Barbara. For the afternoon tour we went to two wineries and an olive oil tasting. My favorite winery was Bella Cavalli, where rick is one of only two tour operators that are allowed to bring visitors to this private winery. I could have spent years hanging out in this beautiful place learning about their wines and horse farm. Rick absolutely knows the area and wine and he even made a recommendation for dinner that was awesome. Thank you for a perfect day.

Wonderful wine and unforgettable tour - We’re traveling from Japan. Rick kindly used simple English so that we can understand what he said. We didn’t have much time, but we could enjoy wonderful wine very much. I wish I could have stayed longer. Anyway, Rick, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us.
