My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. A couple of wine stops showcasing the incredible wine of this area. The food was wonderful - and not typical of a food tour. Out of the way places with delicious tastes were the focus rather than large places that we more well known. Brittany was very entertaining and knowledgeable of the area and made the tour rally fun.

The best part of the tour was out guide Evan. She was knowledgeable about the area and the local restaurants. We could tell she was passionate about food and wine and was thrilled to give ideas and suggestions about where to eat and what to do in Santa Barbara. My favorite part of the day was the wine tasting. I also loved olive oil tasting, desserts and pizza. Our group was very interesting and we enjoyed getting to know new people. I highly recommend.

Love love loved it. Evan is the best! We had a great day. She is clearly passionate about food in Santa Barbara and gave us great recommendations for dinner. She pointed us at a gluten-free bakery on the way back casually as she passed us. Super sweet and we had a blast. Take this tour early in your trip so that you can return and visit all the places you stopped. She was very efficient and made sure that at each stop all of our food was waiting for us to eat and enjoy. Highly highly recommend.
