Both of us had been on wine tours before, so we have some experience. However, the private wine tour was very special. We met with small wine makers we would have never met any other way. The experience was educational, fun, and mostly quite delicious. Steven, our guide, was terrific. With great knowledge and background on wine and the Santa Ynez valley. I cannot recommend this experience enough for either wine novices or connoisseurs/sommeliers or anyone in between. Just let them know and they will provide you with a special experience even Paul Giamatti would enjoy.
