Memories - We got to meet some awesome people. Our guide Caco was great! The wineries were good but maybe going to 4 would be nice.

Super enjoyable wine tour - Excellent tour of Santa Ynez Valley wineries. Guide was very knowledgeable, and engaging. Casual lunch at one of the wineries was great. Highlight of the trip was leaving the standard agenda and visiting Tomi winery. Winemaker/owner there gave us a fabulous explanation of how he makes his wines, which are really good.

Great tour, great wines! - Wonderful wine tasting trip out of Santa Barbara with Johannes. Super knowledgeable guy with a great life story as well. We were able to pivot as one winery was closed but added another that seemed even better with his knowledge of the area. Bought wine and joined one they were so good!

Private wine tour - Johannes was proactive in tailoring the tour to our wine preference. He offered to add an olive oil tour for us. He was very informative in offering information about dining in the area.
