Considering all of the ever- changing rules surrounding Covid 19, the excursion was quite fun and relaxed All 8 of us mixed well, the 3 wineries were well chosen, and the outside tastings were very scenic and relaxing. This was my second trip with Santa Barbara Wine Tours. A great value for a full day that included lunch and tasting fees.

The driver/tour guide was very pleasant and helpful. Enjoyed the comfortable van. The lunch was a sandwich which was tasty. My big gripe was that it took 1 1/2 hours to arrive at the first Winery stop. The other people on the tour were friendly and talkative after some wine tasting;.
