Solvang Wine & True Crime Tour with Drinks Included
Overview
Available languages
2 hours
Mobile ticket
This is not your typical wine tasting. The Wine & True Crime Tour blends Solvang’s quirkiest tasting rooms with chilling tales of crime and the macabre. Think of it as a storytelling experience with drinks, not a guided lesson in wine.
Over two hours, you’ll join a small group of fellow true crime fans as we visit three unique spots, including a slasher-themed winery and offbeat wine bars. Along the way, your guide will share gripping stories of 70s serial killers, unsolved mysteries, and haunted mortuaries.
You’ll enjoy three generous pours: a wine flight, a wine-based tiki cocktail (no rum here), and a sparkling wine farewell toast.
Come ready for dark tales, bold pours, and a one-of-a-kind night out.

5.00We were in Solvang to celebrate my wife’s birthday with some friends. I came across this tour and thought it would be fun. It was so interesting and held us all riveted with the stories. The pacing was very good and we enjoyed tasting wine and cocktails as we went. Our guide, Casey, was excellent and truly kept our attention. I would highly recommend taking this tour. We plan on doing the ghost tour the next time we are there.
Great tour could use more wine

4.00Casey, our guide, did a great job! I am a true crime junky and the stories he shared are ones I had never heard. Very entertaining and engaging. My only critiques would be the noise level. At one stop it was extremely hard to hear if you weren’t sitting close. The other thing would be the bang for the buck. I would have liked to see one or two more pours for the price tag. Overall, a great experience! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Solvang.
Fun to do with friends or family! Great wine and intriguing stories.
