5.00From pickup to drop-off our group experienced an amazing day. It was well planned and flawlessly executed. Scott had every detail covered. The chosen wineries each had their own distinction which made each stop different. If you are considering Sustainable Wine Tours - just book it. You will be so glad you did.
A Great Wine Tasting Day in Santa Ynez

5.00Sustainable Wine Tours provided us with a great wine tasting experience in the Santa Ynez Valley. Karina, our guide, was both knowledgable and personable. She took us to three wineries - Dafoe Winery, McKinney Vineyards, and Happy Canyon Vineyards. The selection was just what we requested, smaller wineries we may not have have visited on our own. The tour was all inclusive. We were picked up in Solvang, toured in a comfortable SUV, and lunch was provided. The timing was perfect as we comfortable enjoyed each stop with ample time to chat, learn, and taste at each stop.
VIP wine tour that felt straight out of a movie

5.00We had an incredible experience with Sustainable Wine Tours Santa Barbara. Scott put together a fully customized, VIP-level tour to three amazing wineries and we truly felt like VIPs all day. The scenery was beautiful, the stories and people we met were incredible, and every detail from vineyard tours to a catered lunch and even birthday cupcakes was perfectly planned. He went above and beyond to help us celebrate our birthday trip and made our group of Midwest moms feel so special. Ending the day with a fun, dance-filled ride back was the perfect wrap-up. Highly recommend. It honestly felt like we were in a movie.

5.00An unforgettable wine tasting experience. Our host, Scott was friendly and very knowledgeable. We toured 3 different wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley. Each one was unique and private. The wineries were beautiful. We toured the vineyards and sat for a private tasting. Each tasting was paired with a selection of cheese, crackers, chocolate and more. Lunch was also included. It was a dream come true. Highly recommend!

10/10 experience

5.00Scott was AMAZING. My family of eight was visiting Santa Barbara. We wanted to visit central coast wineries . Scott picked us up in a beautiful sprinter van. He arranged three visits to three incredible and private wineries. Our visits were private to just my family. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about wine and it made the experience that much more enjoyable. We had a family member forget a jacket and he made the extra effort to drive back and track it down for us. 10/10 would recommend.
Best wine tour I’ve ever been on
sophiae472,Feb 22, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our wine tour was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The owner, Scott, picked us up in a large Mercedes sprinter van right outside our Air bnb for our party of 8. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and played great music. He provided water for us and was super attentive all day refilling our water, plating our lunches, packing them up, offering his arm when we hopped out of the van and even went back a retrieved a sweater my fiancée left at a previous winery. We went to three VERY private and select vineyards that we would not have gotten into otherwise. We were going to be early to the next vineyard and he took us to a complementary olive oil tasting — it was such a pleasant surprise! He followed our preferences on wine (ex. We said we don’t like Chardonnay and prefer Reds) and he selected the perfect places. Absolutely would recommend to anyone to book with Sustainable Wine Tours and Scott if you have the chance! 10/10
