Our guide was knowledgeable about the Funk Zone, the history of local Craft beer & the art & architecture we saw. She made the experience really fun & made it manageable for one of our party who has physical limitations. I've lived in Santa Barbara for 48 years & I learned lots of new information. We all enjoyed the stops at the breweries & the stories along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone from Santa Barbara or a visitor!

Melissa was marvelous and the wineries the best. I would have liked to walk more through the Funk Zone seeing galleries from the outside and less time in the wine venues or a longer tour so we could do it all.

We really enjoyed the tour guide-Liz. She seemed really knowledgeable, personable, and was very interesting. We loved the first place that we stopped for wine and the choices given. Jorde was very informative about the different choices. The second stop had a wonderful view and the man was knowledgeable about the area. We didn't like the wines as much there. I would've like to see more of the area but I guess there is only so much you can do in that time frame.
