Yanez(?) was an amazing guide. When the food truck was cancelled for our location, he went and got us food. He got a small barrel tour and took pictures for everyone.

This tour was amazing and perfect for what we were looking for! Our tour guide, Johannes, was so kind and knowledgeable and really made the experience worth it. The day was very hot and Johannes continued to edit our itinerary and brought us to some amazing vineyards that he knew would be covered and comfortable for us all. I 100% recommend booking this trip.

The wine was amazing--the food was great at each location as well. Our tour guide, Sunny, was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was the perfect day, worth the price!

Our wine guide was absolutely wonder his knowledge of wines and the areas was great we learned so much and ge took the time to make our tour to our personal likes I will be back

This was truly amazing!!! We did this for a bachelorette party and it was well worth the money. We loved all 3 wineries and our lunch was incredible! Our guide, Sunny, was THE BEST!!!! She made the whole trip so fun and knew so much about wine and the area! Highly recommend!

I went on the Santa Ynez Valley Cupcake and Wine Tour. The tour was great, and we stopped at some great vineyards/wineries. The tour guide, Sunny, was very knowledgeable but rude on multiple occasions to people on our tour. At one of our stops, she reprimanded two elderly people on the tour for speaking to the owner of a vineyard/winery. She mentioned she didn't want to serve us at another stop because "it was not her job." At the end of the tour, my group was tipping her individually (even though the tip was included in the tour price). The first person handed her a tip, and she counted it and responded, "That's it?". We responded, "Isn't a tip included in the tour price." She quickly tried to walk back her comments but didn't apologize.

My mom and I had a great time at the wineries! Our tour guide, Sunny, was very knowledgeable about the wineries and the area. We also had time to visit the olive tasting at Rancho Olivos and drive through Solvang. The cupcakes were sooooo delicious 🤤. The tour bus was very comfortable and the views of the Santa Inez valley were amazing!

The tour itself was fine and even fun. But our tour guide Sunny left a bad taste in our mouths. During one of our stops at one of the wineries, a couple from our party struck up a conversation with the winery owner and the owner ended up taking them around. Sunny got upset that this happened and was a bit rude but the people in our party did not ask for that to happen. It was just something that happened because the winery owner was enjoying the conversations he was having with them and was being nice. There was also confusion on whether gratuity was included with our ticket prices which I admit was a misunderstanding on our part. Between when we were initially looking at prices and when we actually booked, the company decided to no longer include gratuity in ticket prices. Adding to the confusion, another party in our group approached us to make sure that we knew that gratuity was already included (which it was when that party booked) and the FAQs that are currently on the website included a FAQ on why gratuity was included. We honestly thought then that gratuity was already paid but we still decided to tip a little extra at the end. Well Sunny verbally expressed her displeasure to us with the tip amount. I totally get being upset, and I do feel bad about the confusion, but she could have been a bit more gracious about the situation as it was never our intent to under-tip her.

Johannes the tour operator was great. 2 of the wineries are in high demand for visitors, and he had all reservations set in advance. Great operation.

We signed up for the Cupcakes & Wine Tour. They ended up giving us cupcakes from a place downtown Santa Barbara as an afterthought and not as a pairing with wine experience. Apparently it was baking day and no one available for this particular tour. Paid for experience that wasn’t given.

This tour was the best part our trip to Santa Barbara. There were a total of 3 couples and they were a lot of fun to chat with. Johan was a great guide who was definitely knowledgeable about the area and wine. Each winery/tasting room was different but all had good wines. It was the perfect way to spend a Thursday. Can't recommend enough!

We loved our tour with Sunny! She was energetic and entertaining the entire trip. We learned about the area as well as interesting today-bits about wine. The valley is beautiful and all the stops were very intimate and enjoyable. The cupcakes were also delicious! I do wish that they gave you the option to sub wines out, like opt for all red if you don’t enjoy whites. However I believe that the wine lists are determined by the wineries, so this may be out of their control. Overall it was a great day and well worth it, thank you Sunny!!

Very well organized, responsive to questions; Willing to adapt tour to our group preferences. Warm, personal informative guides! Definitely one of the highlights of our week visit to Santa Barbara!

We had a WONDERFUL tour with Yohannes!! He was very knowledgeable about all things wine, the region, the grapes, and the history of the area. Our tour included stops at 3 wineries and lunch at the 2nd stop. Beautiful day with our best friends, and the value for the money is incredible.

In 2021 my friend and I took this tour and loved it so we booked another trip and brought along our boyfriends this time. First year we stayed in Santa Barbara and the whole experience was great! Sunny went above and beyond to get us lunch, take a detour to do olive oil tasting, and have some input on wineries visited. 5+ stars! We told our boyfriends we hoped we’d get Sunny again because she was so great. This year we did get Sunny again and it was still good but didn’t compare to the previous trip. If it was our first trip my rating would be 3 stars. I’m giving 4 because of last year. This trip we stayed in Solvang and expected a later pickup which we found out would be at 11:40, but we didn’t get picked up until 12:10. We had no input on wineries and lunch (if you want to try specific places you should request when booking). Disappointing because we wanted to try new places and it was basically a repeat of last year. It was New Years Day so a lot of that was probably holiday related. We also didn’t get the region/winery explanation like last year but we chalked it up to a shorter drive from pickup to first winery. The other couple on the bus decided to not continue the tour and asked to be left at the first winery. Not Sunny’s fault, but was unfortunate because we were picked up late because of that couple. They messed up our timeline then left. The rest of the day felt rushed trying to make up the time. Additionally, stop 2 had a long food/lunch. Luckily our boyfriends didn’t do tastings because they wouldn’t have had time after waiting in line. From pickup to drop off was 5 hours. Since our hotel was in Solvang and no flexibility on wineries or time for regional education, we all agreed we should’ve skipped the trip and drove ourselves. It just wasn’t worth the money this time. A little disappointed but not completely the company or Sunny’s fault. If staying in Santa Barbara this is definitely the way to go for a wine tour, though!
