5Fabulous wine tasting day trip from Santa Barbara!
We had a great day with Sustainable Wine Tours! Scott is a pro, and he added so many special touches to our day. He worked with me to choose wineries that were a good fit for our group; made our picnic lunch classy with ceramic plates, silverware, and table decorations; prepared a lovely snack board for each couple at our last stop and surprised us with birthday desserts in honor of my dad! His vehicle was very nice and comfortable; he was knowledgeable about the local area and industry, and shared entertaining stories throughout our tour. If you're planning a wine tour near Santa Barbara, look no further.
5Excellence!
A truly top-tier wine touring experience. Our guide was Carlos Mascherin. He brought unmatched regional knowledge, wine expertise, and genuine charm to the day. We instantly felt like we would be friends who would go to dinner with Carlos! The selected wineries were stunning, and the lunch was both delicious and sophisticated. Five stars!
5Fantastic Wine Tour with Karina
I had such a great time on the Sustainable Wine Tour. Karina was an amazing guide with great energy, a lot of wine knowledge, and a really thoughtful approach to the whole experience. She chose a great range of wines for us to try and also put together such a good charcuterie board, which made the tasting feel even more special. The day felt relaxed, informative, and genuinely fun without ever feeling overly formal. I also really appreciated learning more about the local Santa Barbara wine scene and the producers we visited. Definitely something I would recommend to friends and family, and I’d happily do it again.
5Had a Wonderful Time
Carlos took great care of us and we had an amazing time. Everything was well planned. The pacing was perfect. We enjoyed our lunch and loved our tastings. And Carlos is friendly and very knowledgeable and a fun person to spend time with. Thank you!!
5Top-notch in every way.
Everything was top-notch. The luxury van was comfortable for traveling. The snacks and lunch were delicious. And the tours themselves were so personable and exclusive. It was so special to know where the wine was made and who was making it and the family stories behind them all. Scott was a wonderful guide. This is forever the tour I will measure all other tours against.
5Exquisite private boutique wine tour
10/10 recommend this private and curated wine tasting experience! If you want a luxurious day being pampered while being hosted by wine makers this is the BEST! I have been on countless wine tours and this is without a single doubt the most memorable. The wine tasting experience was tailored to your preferences and having the day be a surprise is very exciting. The hospitality, wine, company and comfortable transportation can’t be beat!

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.
