My fiance and I had planned a trip to Santa Barbara for a wedding in early August. After reading many TripAdvisor reviews, we decided to book Sustainable Wine Tours for their customized approach and the desire to be at a more intimate wine-tasting, rather than a commercial tasting room. We could not have been more thrilled with our decision! Scott is truly a professional, stayed in communication with us leading up to our tour, and took us to three amazing private wineries. Scott picked us up in the air-conditioned van, and did a fantastic job of explaining the Santa Ynez valley and the history of the area. The wineries we went to were fantastic, personalized, and absolutely picturesque. We had a great time with our group, learned a ton about wine production by the producers themselves, tasted delicious wine, had a wonderful lunch, got some amazing photos, and took home some fantastic wine too! Can't recommend Sustainable Wine Tours and Scott enough! Book the tour, you will be so happy you did!

We absolutely enjoyed this small group experience. My daughter and I were in the area for my bi-ennial birthday wine tasting trip. Our host, Scott Bull, was terrific. He thought of everything. Delicious snacks and lunch options. Super knowledgeable about the region and the wineries we were visiting. We went to three very private wineries/vineyards for our tastings. On our first stop we sat out on a lovely patio with the OWNER and learned the history of the winery, met with his winemaker, and tasted some tremendous wines. Our other two stops were larger wineries but still small and private by many winery standards. Each stop built upon the other. I can't recommend Sustainable Vines and their 'Appointment-Only' Wine tasting Tour more. We will definitely be booking with them again the next time we are coming to the area.

we enjoyed the small group experience. The van was very comfortable and the host/ driver very professional. .We visited 3 different wineries. Each one was unique.This was a wonderful experience. Scott took care of the all the details. Worth the cost.
