Beautiful beaches, great restuarants on the pier, perfect temperature and some of the best wines in California. More

Firstly has Mike left the cvompany and Rick is the current guide..too many jokes Rick!! A few are great but honestly...??!! the gourmet lunch was an excellent sandwich..no fruit, just water, no lovely vineyard to sit in..just the back yard of some old buildings really! Fine tune those things and this will be the best tour in town! More

The Santa Barbara Backroads Wine Tour was a wedding present from our kids and proved to be the second most memorable thing we did during our week in Santa Barbara. Second only to our wedding at The Simpson House. The tour was given to us as a wedding present and was so much more than we expected. Our driver, Rick,... More

The open air Hummer allowed us to travel by way of back road and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the countryside. (Dress warmly in layers.) We enjoyed the wineries and learned something new at each one. We visited two wineries and two tasting rooms in Los Olivos. My companions and I found at least one wine we loved at each... More

I've gone numerous times to Santa Barbara for wine tasting tours and I have to say this was one of my favorites. It was a different experience being in the open air Hummers. Being able to go through the back roads was much better than using the 101 like most tours do. Mike was our driver and he's extremely well... More
