5Exceptional tour
Our day was exceptional from start to finish. Scott was hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. We raved about the lunch - ate every bite! We were able to visit locations that are otherwise closed to the public. The difference? The tour and the wines were carefully selected for us to enjoy. I took my daughter for her birthday since she loves trying new wines. I’m not typically a big wine drinker since I sometimes get headaches from wine. However, the vineyards we visited were small estates that make more natural wines. Everything I tried was incredible and we ended up shipping wine home and joining a wine club. Do not hesitate to book this tour! It was our favorite day on our recent trip to Santa Barbara!
5EXCELLENT
Incredibly impressed with the overall experience. They did an incredible job and showcasing small vineyards and wineries with each one being a unique experience. The wine was excellent, and our driver/guide Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day fun.
5Excellent tour and wines

5An Exceptional and Truly Exclusive Wine Tour
An Exceptional and Truly Exclusive Wine Tour Our experience with Sustainable Wine Tours Santa Barbara was, without doubt, one of the absolute highlights of our holiday. From the moment we were collected in a beautiful Mercedes, everything felt incredibly professional, personal and special. Ours was an exclusive tour of just seven people, which made the whole day feel relaxed and intimate — a world away from the larger, more commercial wine tours. We were invited into three incredible vineyards, ranches and farms, where the experience was made even more memorable by actually meeting the wine growers themselves. Being able to hear first-hand about their vineyards, their passion and the wines they produce gave the whole day such a personal and authentic feel. Each location was completely unique, and every wine grower had their own fascinating story and approach to winemaking. At each stop, we enjoyed an incredibly generous tasting of six wines, and we were also treated to a beautifully prepared packed lunch, which we enjoyed sitting in a vineyard beneath the most stunning trees. It was one of those moments you wish you could bottle up and take home with you! The day finished at a beautiful ranch, where we enjoyed more wonderful wines accompanied by delicious food and chocolate — the perfect ending to an exceptional day. This tour was outstanding on every level: professional, beautifully organised, personal and genuinely luxurious without ever feeling stuffy. If you want to avoid the crowds and experience something far more individual, exclusive and high-end, this is absolutely the tour for you. We cannot recommend Sustainable Wine Tours Santa Barbara highly enough. It was an unforgettable experience and, without question, one of the very best highlights of our entire holiday.
5Great Wine Tour!
This was our second tour with Scott and Sustainable Wine tours - hopefully not our last. We visited great wineries, drank delicious wines and learned a lot. Scott does an awesome job as host providing delicious food and snacks as well as getting us everywhere safely. He has created an awesome company.
5A fabulous day to remember!
From start to finish our experience was outstanding with Sustainable Wine Tours! Carlos, our guide and driver communicated with us before picking us up at our hotel. He made sure we were all comfortable as we toured 3 separate and very different wineries. Carlos shared information about the area and was knowledgeable and friendly. There were 2 other couples who joined us. We loved tasting the wine and learning about each place from either the winery owner him/herself or the spouse of the owner. We all enjoyed the fresh lunch provided as we sat outside together with a beautiful view of a vineyard. The entire experience was extremely enjoyable and very interesting as we learned some things from each of the winery's representatives. We also joined one of the wine clubs and purchase a few bottles to take home from another. This experience was the highlight of our first trip to Santa Barbara. I highly recommend it!

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.
