Had a great day with friends tasting lots of nice wine! Shawn, the guide, did an excellent job of making sure we had a relaxed day with enough information about the wine (and how it is made)! Would strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed day with enough information about the wines we were drinking. The... More

We were looking for a fun and relaxing day of tasting new wines, and hopefully to learn a bit along the way. We got just that. Shawn, our guide and driver, led the two of us and about 15 others through three wineries and a visit to a wine club (which we never could have discovered on our own.) Shawn... More

So personable, comfortable, and fun! Sean was great, made us feel right at home, and introduced us to some great wineries. We'd use them again. More

The shuttle van arrived early in front of my lodging than the scheduled 10:15 a.m. pick up on a Thursday morning. I felt a bit rushed but Lisa (tour guide) and the group she were with were very nice in greeting and welcoming me. We were a group of seven -- two from the east coast, two from Texas, a... More

We had really good day with Shaun who was really informative. The day would have been better if he had spent more time with us at the wineries. We went to a good variety of vineyards but it felt like the wines were being poured so quickly the day seemed to be really rushed. Especially towards the end of the... More

My Husband and I booked a private wine tour while in Solvang. There are many tour companies to choose from. We decided to go with www.welovewines.com as the educational aspect was of interest to us. We were thrilled to get Lisa Stoll as our tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and spent time asking questions at the beginning of the... More

Great guide who were very knowledgeable. The wineries all had a great selection of wines to taste and each place had very friendly staff. Overall My girlfriend and I found... More

Had a wonderful time with Shawn. His knowledge not only of the wine industry, but of the area and its history and development, made the tour that much more compelling for me and my family. It was everything we were hoping for! More

We had a fabulous time with Shawn and Perry. We visited three wineries: Koehler, Lincourt, and Shoestring, and a wine club/vineyard (Sogno del Fiore). One of the highlights of the day was having a barrel tasting at Koehler. We enjoyed a nice box lunch at Lincourt, on a patio overlooking the vineyards. All of the places we visited were absolutely...

Can't tell you how much fun my son and daughter-in-law and myself had on our tour (hosted by Shaun). Not only did I learn many amazing facts about missions and wineries, etc. but had fabulous conversation along with great wine and scenery. Could not have asked for a better tour guide OR wine. I'm up for another one as soon... More
