Thank you Scott for such an amazing wine experience in the Santa Inez Valley! Everything was first-class, 5-star, A-plus! Some of the best wines I've ever tasted at private tasting rooms (not open to the general public), delicious lunch, and luxury transportation! 3 stops - 5-6 wines at each winery. A day I'll remember fondly!

This tour was fabulous!! As a beginner in wine tasting, this tour set high standards. Scott was so easy to work with and so accommodating to our travel plans! Each vineyard we visited provided its own unique style and charm making us want to visit the Santa Ynez valley again soon! This wasn’t your typical tour in a tasing room but instead intimate meetings in the homes of the winemakers themselves. Perfect couples day with amazing wine and impeccable service. Can’t say enough!

Thanks Scott for such a great day touring Santa Barbara County and drinking wine! This tour is much more in depth and much more fun than other wine tours I’ve done in the past. On this tour you visit small private wineries and get to spend time chatting with the owners, winemakers, and staff. Also all these folks are very generous with their tastings and pours- we tasted about 6-7 different wines per stop (3 stops). Scott makes a delicious cheese plate and finds a good scenic spot for lunch. Would absolutely recommend this tour to any wine lover looking to spend a full day around Santa Barbara countryside!

Thank you so much for you thoughtful review. Since you have been on other wine tours in the past for comparison I'm so glad you appreciated our unique and personal tour experience compared to the more common crowded tasting room tours. We loved introducing you to small production winemakers making incredible wines! Looking forward to hosting you o your next trip back!!
