My friends and I chose to do the Santa Ynez Valley wine tour. We had Linda as a driver & guide. She is very knowledgeable and made the day very enjoyable. My overall experience with Santa Barbara Adventure Company was top notch. The customer service was on point and very responsive. I'd definitely use them again!

Johannes was an amazing and very knowledgeable guide. He got us into a private tasting with the owner/winemaker at Tomi due to his local connections. Truly an awesome experience, couldn’t recommend highly enough.

We had a wonderful time! The tour was informative without being rushed, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the winemaking process. The vineyards themselves themselves were beautiful—perfect for photos—and the wine tasting was the highlight. Every glass was delicious, and we even took a few bottles home. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

This was a great wine weekend! Our driver, Johannes, was great. He gave us topographical information, celebrity information, and, of course, wine information. He was relaxed and let us really enjoy the day.

We had the most wonderful experience on our wine tour! Johannes was an incredible driver and Sommelier. He was so knowledgeable about each winery we visited, the different types of wines, and all the details behind what we were drinking. As someone who had never been on a wine tour before, I really appreciated how informative and approachable he was—he made learning about wine so fun and easy to understand. Johannes truly made the day perfect for us. The views, the tastings, and the entire experience were unforgettable. I would absolutely go on this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing wine country adventure.

Guide was great and lunch was excellent. First winery was good but next two were very slow in bringing each flight of wine. Got bored waiting for them. Second winery was very nice in letting me have a cocktail instead of the wine tasting.

Had a great time. Pick up from our hotel was very easy. Lunch was yummy! We got picked up around 10:20am and got dropped back off at our hotel at 5:30pm. Our tour guide Caco (sp?) was fantastic!
