5We had a great experience...
We had a great experience with our tour guide, Yunee. She gave us a lot of information about the wine region and took great care of us. The lunch was delicious and our spot overlooking the vineyard was perfect to enjoy it. Each stop on the tour was a bit different and we enjoyed our samplings. Most of all we appreciated getting to interact with the winemakers and experience their passion.
5The Golden Triangle
The tour was fantastic! The wineries we visited had wonderful wines and there were several varietals served at each stop. The picnic lunch was soooo good. Yunee, our driver and tour guide was FANTASTIC! She is very knowledgeable about the wine growing regions and provided a very enjoyable experience for the entire group. There was a lot of laughter and our group took on the name “The Golden Triangle” in a tribute to Marco, one of the AMAZING wine makers we met along the way. I highly recommend this tour, for a day of fun and great wine!
5Exceptional Wine Tour!
Don't hesitate to book this wine tour! My husband and I were in Santa Barbara to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and the Rooted Vine Wine Tour was a highlight of our trip. The transportation was top-notch from the pick-up at our AirBnb, to the comfortable and safe vehicle, to the informative and friendly guide (Uni is truly the best!). They set us up with a carefully packed box filled with the wine we purchased for our flight home (which Santa Barbara Airport does not charge for, by the way!). We enjoyed all three stops on our trip and the included lunch was delicious. Highly recommend!!
5First Class Boutique Wine tour.
This wine tour is a five star tour. The car sent to pick us up was immaculate and our tour guide Uni the best.! all three wine makers we visited had unique wines for us to try. Needless to say we left there with a few bottles to take home and a few bottles to be shipped. The second stop is where we had a picnic lunch overlooking the vineyard at an all woman run winery. Lunch was delicious and the education received from all of our wine makers was invaluable. If you like boutique style wines and a first class experience make sure you take this tour.
5Great day, great wines and great people!
Our Rooted Vine tour was a pleasure from the start where we were picked up at our hotel by a well informed and friendly tour guide in a clean well appointed van. We learned something new at each of the wineries and tasted some very fine wines. I look forward to my next visit to Santa Barbara and spending another great day with the Rooted Wine folks!
5Fantastic Experience - Great Company to Book With
Junee was a fantastic host and they did a great job planning. We went to 3 different wineries and enjoyed them all. I'd highly recommend doing a tour with Rooted Vine Tours

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.
