Did some wine tasting in the Santa Ynez valley and would like to say that the highlight had to be our visit to the Gainey Vineyard. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, (it seems to be one of the few area vineyards that still offers tours), the wines were excellent and the scenery is truly exceptional.

After an extended wine tour of the Santa Ynez Valley, my husband and I vote for Gainey Vineyards! They offer the whole package; a great, friendly staff, beautiful setting, and of course the best variety of superb wines under one roof. They also offer an excellent tour of the winery.

My husband and I received a personal tour by a guide who used to be the co-owner of the wine dinner train in Napa. She walked us through a sample vineyard where we could taste each type of grape and learn more about their growing techniques. We also were able to watch their wine maker at work.
