A leisurely day in Santa Barbara - Melissa is a wonderful tour guide and very knowledgeable about Santa Barbara history. You can tell she loves living here and has an infectious enthusiasm for the city. Wear your walking shoes and prepare to taste some good local wine. We really enjoyed our day.

SB Walking Wine Tour Review - My wife and I decided to get out of LA for Labor Day weekend, and we went and celebrated our anniversary in Santa Barbara. We paid in advance to join a group walking wine and chocolate tour. It turns out we were the only two people to have booked for the weekend, so we essentially ended up with a full private tour. Our tour guide was Melissa, and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised when the tour included a ton of historical retellings throughout downtown Santa Barbara, as well as a description of modern-day murals. One of the first major stops was at Santa Barabra Winery, where we had an amazing time tasting a great assortment of wines. We definitely made a few purchases on the way out. We were also fortunate enough to be hosted specifically by Dave. He was super informative and hospitable. I would like to share many things about this tour, but I don't want to spoil it for the next set of individuals who try out this walking tour. We had a great time and would highly recommend it. Thanks again, Melissa.

Wine and chocolate - It was a delightful afternoon! Melissa our guide was fun and very knowledgeable. She had entertaining stories about the history of the area and of the buildings we walked by. She showed us things that we were able to go back to and visit as we walked State Street. We enjoyed two fabulous wine stops and one ice cream stop. We had beautiful chocolate pairings at the last stop. We went back and purchased more chocolate as well as wine. Everyone in my group would agree that this was a tour to not miss!

Friendiversary Highlight - I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. My friend and I were lucky enough to be the only two on the tour that day. So, we had tour guide, Liz, all to ourselves. She was a delight! She was maybe the best part of the tour! She was so knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The wine, chocolates and ice cream were also pretty great though.
