Tour guide picked us up in a great van and was very fun and knowledgeable. We were 8 people in total. Visited absolutely beautiful vineyards that showed us first class hospitality. Apparent Sustainable Wine Tours has an excellent reputation with the local Vineyards. One of our favorite things we did while in the area.

We had such a wonderful time on our tour! Steven, our guide, was so knowledgeable about wine, the local region, & it’s growers. He was a great story teller as well! He even offered us all great suggestions on dinner options in Santa Barbara for after our tour. All of the locations we visited were unique as well as exclusive. I learned A LOT about what makes a great wine great. This is by far the GREATEST tour I’ve ever done! It beats out the Napa tours & the Lodi tours I’ve done. I will DEFINITELY do this again with my husband next time (I went with my best friend on a “girls weekend”). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Steven was our Host/Driver for the day. He was tremendous as he transported us to the Santa Barbara wine country. Steven’s knowledge of the area, wineries and wine varietals were very impressive. We were able to walk among the grape vines, while being educated about the vineyards and wine growing process. The 3 tasting venues we experienced were all unique to the wine they craft. Beautiful views, welcoming owners and amazing wines. The properties we visited were all small production wineries, and the quality of the wines were outstanding We were even lucky enough to witness a rocket launch from the nearby AFB. This is the best way to visit and taste in the Santa Barbara area and we can’t wait until we return. Leave the driving and worries to Sustainable Wine Tours and enjoy the experience.

Greg, we couldn't agree with you more... taking a tour with us is probably the best way to experience Santa Barbara wine country and get an insider's view into our unique region. We are so pleased that you had a wonderful experience and that all of our winery partners impressed you. We hope that you'll join us again when you return to SB!
