Pick up and drop off times vary drastically. We were told we’d be picked up at 9:35 (earlier than advertised) and not actually picked up until after 9:45. In addition we were dropped off past 5:30. Way longer day than advertised. In addition what we received for the price was mediocre. One of our wineries was not very professional regarding purchases by the glass. Our last winery was our favorite however they were not prepared for our party size nor were they aware we were part of a tour. I live in N. CA and have been to many wineries and don’t think the price paid was a good value for what we received.

This was the best way to go to wine country from Santa Barbara. It was safe, delicious, and we had a great local guide with Daniel who entertained us with stories and local info. We fell in love with the area, and can’t wait to go again!

We had a great experience on this tour! Daniel was an fantastic guide. He was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. By chance it was just my mom and I on our tour, which we were a bit disappointed about, but Daniel made us feel comfortable and at ease! Daniel even asked for our feedback on the way home to improve the experience for future tours. I strongly recommend taking this tour. We had a great time and would even do it again!

Great wine tour with three wineries, each offering a different vibe. I learned a lot about wine and really enjoyed the variety. Johannes was an amazing guide. Overall, a great experience and highly recommended. 🍷

My husband and I had a fantastic day visiting three different wineries in Santa Ynez. Our guide, Daniel, was great. He gave us a lot of insight into the area, the wine making, the wine itself, etc. He was easy and fun! SB Adventures was able to get this tour for us last minute after a debacle with Viator, we were very appreciative. I highly recommend them! Ps- the food was delicious too!

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!
