Lots of fun! - It was such a great afternoon with Kayla. We got to taste some great food and a wonderful Viognier. We enjoy 'seeing' a new place through their food and customs with a local guide. And this tour was lots of fun -- we feel we have a much better picture of what Solvang is all about.

Great! - Great food tour and great guide. Kayla was knowledgeable. The only thing I would add is that it would be better if you are 21+. There was a lot of wine tasting which I loved but I was with a family member who was less than 21.

Not worth the money - The tour was not great. Many of the stops had long waiting times and some had no sitting areas. There were no instructions about anything related to taking photos. Definitely not worth the money.
