Great day spent tasting a variety of good wines from central CA and of Maliki new friends. Steve, our guide was great! - Our group was comprised of adults and senior adults and all 5 of us had a wonderful time. Steve, the tour guide a mm d driver, picked us up at our Airbnb and then picked up 2 couples. The 9 of us had a very fun day and Steve was wonderful. The wine tasting “set-ups” each winery were great with each providing a comfortable table and chairs in the shade. We had a great lunch with freshly made sandwiches. It was fun to have people other than our family on the tour. It was fun to become friends with other people and enjoy good wines from the central CA region. We went to a larger, more well known winery first, then a smaller winery, and one final good winery. Lunch was after the first wine tasting. If anyone was hungry at the last spot you could order food from the winery. All in all it was a very fun day and our group was diverse with 3 adults and 3 seniors. One person didn’t even drink, but had a fun day. Steve really made the difference in ensuring our day went well. Our group and the two other couples all loved the day of tasting a variety of good local wines and making new friends.

A Solvang Surprise - Great driver with lots of information. He picked three wonderful wineries, and we had a delicious lunch. We did this on a rainy day and easy in and out if wineries without getting soggy. Bonus olive oil tasting was super interesting.

Amazing wines on a glorious summer day! - Wonderful day-long adventure visiting 3 wineries to celebrate my sister-in-law’s retirement. Great group of fellow tasters and Carrington was a knowledgeable and entertaining host/driver. Van is clean and comfortable. Lunch was wonderful. Really different experiences at each location. Learned a lot about wines from this region. Lots of memories made on a glorious summer day! Highly recommend!

The Winery Trip - We enjoyed the nice van, Wineries were good and yummy lunch. The driver did not have a microphone, he only talked to 2 people behind him. Our group of 4 didn’t hear anything, was just a ride to each location. For this amount of money, we expected a Tour with History and information of the area.

Subpar - find a different tour - Guide was very friendly, but everything else was very subpar. Communication poor: pick up location and time changed 3X only a few hours before we left. Wineries: no tour of the facility or how they make/bottle like you usually get. This was simply a drop off for a tasting. The wineries were average or less as well. We found it very unbelievable that this tour was ranked "top by USA today".
