I would recommend this tour if you can confirm all tastings will be at actual vineyards. We were very disappointed to find that one of the 3 tastings was in a small dark warehouse in an industrial park. Not what you anticipate when you pay for a winery tour in the beautiful wine country of Santa Barbara. Very disappointing. Lunch was good, and Karina was very nice, but before you go, make sure you will be going only to actual vineyards. Also know that after the last tasting, upon return to the van for the drive back to your hotel, a clipboard with a gratuity invoice from your tour guide asking for her/his gratuity and detailing suggested amounts and how they would like it to be given to them—will be laying in your seat when you get back into the van. It will detail several different percentages they suggest and how they would prefer you give it to them: Venmo, cash. Including one pre-calculated tip amount for 25%! This was tacky, overreaching, and insulting. First of all, I had put aside $120 in cash in my purse to tip the guide for my small group of 3 before I had even left the hotel that morning—Which was more than 20% of our 3 tix. Anyone who is going to tip—is going to tip. And if someone doesn’t believe in tipping their guide or didn’t have a good time for some reason, coming out and asking for for a tip at the end isn’t going to change their mind. And we can all do the math in our head. We are not stupid. We don’t need you to calculate percentages for us. And finally, gratuities are SUPPOSED TO BE discretionary and optional. Most, of course, will tip. We all know that. Most will tip fairly and sometimes generously. Those that don’t, will not do so just because you ask. So to those of us that know the right thing and always planned on doing the right thing, that “invoice” waiting for us on our seat in the van at the end of our last tasting, not only reminding us to tip, but calculating the various amounts—was not a classy, pleasant way to end the day. I’ve toured with guides all over the world, and have never seen this. I thought about keeping my $120, because I was so annoyed and taken back by the brass of this, but at the last minute, as we arrived back at our hotel, I gave her the 120. Again—more than 20%. Please know—people are not dumb, we can do simple math, and those that tip tour guides, will tip you. We don’t need to have you shove an invoice for a tip in our face at the end of the day. It actually almost cost you a tip. And please look up what a gratuity actually is—it’s a discretionary and optional “thank you” for service over and above what you are already being paid. You are not supposed to tell people or even remind people to give you one.
