4Great Birthday Day Trip
We had a great time with Danny as our guide! He utilized his local connections/friendships to tailor a great experience based on our interests. We came as a group of two and there was only one other person on the tour, so it was very intimate experience. The wine at all 3 stops was delicious along with the lunch from Panino’s in Los Olivos. A great day!
5Amazing Experience (Thanks Peter)!
My husband & I visited Santa Barbara for our honeymoon. The Santa Ynez wine tour was amazing. The pickup was easy, van was super nice, lunch was delicious, the scenery was incredible, & the other people on our tour were lovely. Our guide, Peter, went above & beyond to make it an awesome experience. We happened to be in town during a major heat wave, & Peter made sure we were all comfortable/hydrated all day. He was so knowledgable about the area, made sure we got lots of photos, & event brought us to a bakery & olive oil tasting in addition to the wineries. He also gave us lots of recommendations for spots to try in Santa Barbara - we tried Lama Dog Brewery & Brophy Bros (both reccs from Peter), which ended up being some of our favorite places! Highly recommend this tour!

About Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara is a Spanish-style city on California's central coast, set between the Pacific and the Santa Ynez Mountains.
Santa Barbara sits on a south-facing shore with the Santa Ynez Mountains rising right behind it. After an earthquake in 1925, the city rebuilt in a uniform Spanish Colonial Revival style, with white walls, red tile roofs and arches, and the County Courthouse, with its clock tower and mural room, is a showpiece of the style. Old Mission Santa Barbara, founded in 1786 and known as the Queen of the Missions, stands on a hillside above town.
Top-ranked sights in Santa Barbara: Santa Barbara Waterfront, Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Stearns Wharf.
