A wine and scenic treat - This wasn’t just wine tasting, but also an education. We’re not strangers to wine tasting, but this was informative and personal. Visiting smaller, family owned wineries snuggled amidst lush countryside was an unexpected treat. Oh, the wine was excellent, and Iaon Pohlit owner/operator of Rooted Vines, was knowledgeable and thoughtful. It was a very pleasurable day.

A TIME WAS HAD! - The rain and gloomy weather didn’t stop a thing! My friends and I had a great time. Ian, our tour guide, was very friendly and informative!

Great birthday experience - This was such a beautiful experience for my lady on her special birthday. Ioan was so knowledgeable, respectful, and fun. This was an unforgettable experience!

Perfect wine tour - Iaon was very knowledgeable, friendly and provided a wonderful experience for our first time visiting Santa Barbara wine country. Highly recommend.

Wonderful fun way to spend the day - Visiting the different vineyards and how differently they apply their crafts. Educated on grapes and soils

Amazing winery getaway ! - Ian was an amazing guide! Extremely knowledgeable, took us to amazing wineries. The lunch provided was beyond! The sandwiches were tasty, fresh baked bread, salads were delish! The pick up car was squeaky clean and comfortable! Could not have asked for a better experience ! ~ ana & joey.

Meeting Marco Luccesi at... - Meeting Marco Luccesi at his wine making warehouse was a highlight. We ordered a lot of his wine because it was all good, even the varieties we don’t normally drink.

Best wine tasting tour in Santa Ynez Valley - We were picked up punctually by Sunny who proved to be a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide! She asked frequently if we were comfortable as well as offering water/ Lacroix to drink! Additionally, she stopped at an olive oil farm which was a bonus. All in all, she made our day perfect! We will definitely take this tour again if we return to the area! Thanks so much!

Overall great experience - just a tad bit overpriced. - Our tour guide Gaby was the sweetest! She was so informative and took great care of us!! For the cost you pay at $500 per couple I was expecting much more - we were taken to 2 wineries and sat in their tasting areas but it would have been a better experience if the venue also provided a tour on how their wine is made, around the facility etc. The 3rd venue was just a “tasting room” in the Los Olivos area not the actual winery. Which I felt defeated the purpose as that’s something you can do without a tour and spend a full day in the area. Tasting fees average about $25 and if you purchase an x amount of bottles your fee is waived - which we did so technically our tasting fees were covered by our purchase.

Unprofessional and unethical - Please stay away. This company does not care about you or your safety. The only thing they care about is money. We have a tour scheduled on Sat 9/30, on wed 9/27 we tested positive for Covid. We are all symptomatic and very ill, on the verge of hospitalization. Called on wed, spoke with Ian? About canceling our reservation due to medical reason and offered to provide medical documentation and he refused. When asked does he want us to show up ill and expose others to potentially life threatening illness, he said he doesn’t care and hung up. So make sure you don’t get ill or no emergencies happen otherwise you will lose all of your money. No understanding or compassion from this unprofessional and unethical company. We would never intentionally endanger others just for the sake of money. Shame on you.
