My husband and I recently visited Santa Barbara and decided to do this tour to sample the food and wine. We were impressed with all the reviews and thought it would be a great into to Santa Barbara. Patty took our tour and she was brilliant! As well as getting to sample a delicious variety of food, we also did a couple of wonderful wine tastings. What was so great was that we had food that we wouldn't normally have tried, in places that we would never have found! In addition, we learnt so much about Santa Barbara itself and thoroughly enjoyed our time! Couldn't recommend it more.

My friend and I were the only two on our tour. Wished this would've had more food. One of the stops was olive oil tasting. Not really good and kinda weird to just take a sip of olive oil. The two wineries we visited were awesome but not much food at those locations. Pizza place was ok but chicken was dry on pizza. Ice Cream shop was really good. I would just suggest a little more food stopping. Had a great time. Brittney was fun and gave us great info about the area.

My husband and I decided to to to Santa Barbara for the weekend and we were looking for a food tour. The Taste of Santa Barbara was fantastic! Patty our tour guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. My husband was like a kid in a candy store at the olive oil tasting. The wine tasting at Cebada Wines was the highlight for me, the wine and truffle pairings were out of this world. This tour is a great way to spend an afternoon exploring downtown Santa Barbara.
