This trip is exceptional! It is also my second trip with Santa Barbara Wine Tasting @ go grape.com. Our tour guide/driver was Cary and he was a very safe, knowledgeable and an enjoyable person. Cary picked us up at our hotel in Solvang The vans are very comfortable to ride in. and the wineries and countryside were beautiful. It was relaxing day (That could’ve been helped with the wine). We were treated to three wineries and one olive oil oil tasting. The James Murray winery and Vega wineries were exceptional. I cannot wait to return again. And we had a bonus tasting at an olive oil/vinegar farm. Delightful! Had a wonderful lunch included on the tour under the trees.
