Our tour guide, Erin took us on this brilliant food and drink tour of Santa Barbara and it was one of the highlights of our holiday to California - it really was such good fun and a great way to learn about the area. The many delicious tastings included an incredible Mexican meal, superb ice cream and a really enjoyable wine tasting. We loved our stop at Backyard Bowls so much that we returned for breakfast the next morning and the lobster bisque at the Enterprise Fish Company was delicious so went back for dinner before we left Santa Barbara so were able to use the voucher for a free starter which Erin gave us on the tour. Erin was great and really knowledgeable and passionate about Santa Barbara and the amazing food and drink that it has to offer. My fiance avoids dairy and so I'd made Erin aware of this prior to the tour so she had arranged alternative tastings where needed which was really appreciated. I would highly recommend that anyone visiting Santa Barbara signs up for this tour. It is very good value for money and makes for a very enjoyable day. One tip - don't have a big breakfast beforehand as you will certainly get plenty of food (and drink) on this tour! Thank you Erin!

A fantastic opportunity for folks to enjoy food, beer and wine tasting while learning about some of the history of Santa Barbara. Erin, our tour guide has great 'little known facts' and 'awesome stories' about the lower State St. area. The food tastings are super yummy and plentiful enough for a large lunch. We enjoyed the beer and wine tastings too. We have lived in Santa Barbara over 40 years and learned some interesting history that we never knew about before. Next time we have out-of-town guests we'll definitely recommend it!

We had such a wonderful day with Erin and our group of food touring folks! Made new friends and got to experienced Santa Barbara is a way that few get to. All the tastings were great fun, but by far the most fun was being on the streets of Santa Barbara with Erin as our guide. The tastings where unique and well balanced. The Lobster Bisque was amazing! Hope to join you again when we return to SB. All the best!
