Family Wine Tour in Santa Ynez - Was a great experience. Caco was our guide and he was fantastic. Very relaxing and beautiful wineries, and enjoyed the others on the tour with us.

Tour of Wine country - It is a delightful experience held in an idyllic location in California. The wines are varied and tour exposed us to a spectrum we might not otherwise have explored. The tour guide (Johan) was excellent; prompt, well informed, educational and a very good driver. Can’t think of a better way to spend five hours at a very equitable price.

Highly recommend tour - I booked for my partner and I on Valentine’s Day. What a great choice we made booking the winery tour. Linda was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, and had a great hospitality. We got lucky with the group we got because at the end of the trip we had many laughs and great memories.

Wine with Johnny A - We went up for a Valentine’s Day wine tour and could not have been happier with our decision. This is in largely in part due to our tour guide Johnny A! While the wine and vineyards were delicious and beautiful, Johnny truly added an extra spark that made the trip a true experience that we will never forget. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to try some good wine, to see the beautiful SB wine country or just to have an awesome wine day - and would highly recommend to do it with Johnny A!

This was the best way to... - This was the best way to go to wine country from Santa Barbara. It was safe, delicious, and we had a great local guide with Daniel who entertained us with stories and local info. We fell in love with the area, and can’t wait to go again!

Great Experience! - We had a great experience on this tour! Daniel was an fantastic guide. He was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. By chance it was just my mom and I on our tour, which we were a bit disappointed about, but Daniel made us feel comfortable and at ease! Daniel even asked for our feedback on the way home to improve the experience for future tours. I strongly recommend taking this tour. We had a great time and would even do it again!

Great Tour Great Guide - My husband and I had a fantastic day visiting three different wineries in Santa Ynez. Our guide, Daniel, was great. He gave us a lot of insight into the area, the wine making, the wine itself, etc. He was easy and fun!
SB Adventures was able to get this tour for us last minute after a debacle with Viator, we were very appreciative.
I highly recommend them!
Ps- the food was delicious too!

Pick up and drop off... - Pick up and drop off times vary drastically. We were told we’d be picked up at 9:35 (earlier than advertised) and not actually picked up until after 9:45. In addition we were dropped off past 5:30. Way longer day than advertised. In addition what we received for the price was mediocre. One of our wineries was not very professional regarding purchases by the glass. Our last winery was our favorite however they were not prepared for our party size nor were they aware we were part of a tour. I live in N. CA and have been to many wineries and don’t think the price paid was a good value for what we received.
