5.00Had an absolutely wonderful time! It was our first time on e-bikes and it was a blast. William was a great guide and SO knowledgeable about the area and wines. Ended the ride with a gorgeous picnic lunch and some wines, and then a trip to a fantastic winery to finish off the tour. Would highly recommend!!
Wine, Views, and E-Bike Fun—A Santa Barbara Must!

5.00Went on the I Bike Santa Barbara Wine Tour with my boyfriend during the week and it felt super private, just us, our guide William, and one other couple. The 16-mile ride is honestly effortless thanks to the e-bikes, so you can go as easy or as hard as you want while taking in incredible views. William is amazing and shares so many fun details, including stops at the missionary and Solvang. The wines we tried were excellent, and we even ended up bringing home some delicious olive oil. If you’re in Santa Barbara, this is a must-do experience. Highly recommended for couples or anyone looking for fun, learning, and a little adventure!
Unique way to tour wine country and earn those tastings!

5.00The most fun way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We were visiting Santa Barbara and wanted to see some of the vineyards. If we were more local - this would be a great tour to also invite friends along! The e-bikes were easy to operate and made the tour so much more accessible with 5 electric assist speeds! William was on a road bike and kept a comfortable pace - stopping every few miles to show us a landmark, an estate, even a stop in Solvang with enough time to use the bathrooms and get a danish:) After the ride, we had some olive oil and vinegar tastings - and unexpected way to enjoy the unique flavors of the area that isn’t wine. We even purchased some to bring a little taste is Los Olivos home with us! William prepared a delightful lunch with a charcuterie board for each pair/group and 3 wine tastings from local vineyards. He even had some birthday decorations for my husband- very thoughtful!! He then provided some delish sandwiches and after lunch, we drove to a nearby winery and enjoyed a selection of 5 tastings of their wines - enjoyed the beautiful weather and wandered the vineyards at our leisure. It was a great day and I recommend for any with an interest to get a little active and see the landscape up close.
William is wonderful!

5.00Great bike tour and wine tasting. Beautiful scenery. Excellent lunch. William was a great guide and the e bikes made the trip very comfortable. Our 13 year old had no problem with mileage. Great day trip if staying in Santa Barbara. Lovely to visit Solvang, with its Danish architecture and shops. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful Tour

5.00This was a very relaxing bike tour through the wine country of San Ynez valley and Solvang. William is a very knowledgeable and relaxed host. The e-bikes were well maintained and made the trek up hills very easy, good for any level of rider. The scenic route was great for pictures. Very leisurely pace and great wine tastings at the end.
What a GREAT experience !!!!!

5.00My Wife and I had an amazing time. William was a FANTASTIC host, enjoyed his knowledge Los Olivos, Ballard, Solvang and the beautiful wineries in the area. The pace was not difficult, and this allowed us to enjoy the sites. Next time we will bring friends.

5.00What a beautiful way to see the Santa Ynez Valley! William was a wonderful guide, giving us information about the area along the way. We upgraded to e-bikes, they were awesome after hiking in the Channel Islands for 3 days! We loved getting fresh air and being out doors rather than having a driving tour. Stopped in Solvang, such a cute place. The olive oil and wine tastings were great. Bought our favorites at each. Highly recommend!
