We had a fantastic day wine tasting with Sustainable Vine Wine Tours. Scott was an amazing host and scheduled private tastings for us with the winemakers themselves. The wineries were beautiful locations that you'd never find on your own. It was truly a memorable day!

This is one of the best tours we have ever had the opportunity to be a part of. Brian was an incredible host, full of valuable information, interesting stories and wonderful recommendations. He chose three wineries to visit which each had their own family legacies to share, background stories to tell and fabulous wine to pour. The wine was so wonderful that we ended up joining wine clubs at 2 of the 3 wineries. We not only loved the taste of the wines but we thoroughly embrace their organic ingredients. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to spend a day in the Santa Barbara wine region, learning, tasting and having fun.

I'm usually a skeptic when it comes to tours of any kind (annoying, underwhelming, too crowded, too commercial), but my delight with Sustainable Vine's small-group tour was real. Scott Bull picked us up at our hotel in a fully outfitted van, complete with water for hydration and sparkling rose to get the party started. He was extremely knowledgeable about the region and climate, small-batch organic vs. commercially produced wine, and the winemakers themselves, giving the four couples on the tour an insider's view into a remarkable industry. Each winemaker we visited was wholly unique in their approach, welcoming and hospitable, passionate about their craft, and, of course, provided a delicious array of wines for us to taste (and purchase, if we chose to). The tour included a custom-ordered lunch, which we ate outdoors under a beautiful arbor. At our last stop of the day, we rode in open-air vehicles through the vineyards, stopping to taste grapes right off the vine and take pictures of the sweeping views. For a bespoke experience in the company of (just a few) like-minded wine enthusiasts where every detail is taken care of with foresight and professionalism minus any stuffiness or snobbery, I can't recommend this tour enough. Wear comfortable shoes for standing and walking, hats or sunscreen if it's sunny, and come prepared for a full day of anything, since each tour is different from the next.
