The experience

This is a curated wine experience, not a crowded tasting room. Your group books the two days together and shapes the route around what you want to taste and which winemakers you want to meet. Each day you visit three private boutique wineries, walk the vineyards with the producers themselves, and tour the production facilities. The route passes through Solvang, the quaint Danish village in the valley, depending on which wineries your group chooses. A made-to-order organic lunch (sandwiches or salads) is built into the day, along with bottled water and a cheese platter.

Transport runs in a Tesla Model X SUV if your group is four travelers, or a Luxury Mercedes van for five to eight. Pickup and drop-off happen from your location in Santa Barbara, so the two days start and end where you're staying. A live guide in English leads both days and handles the route based on your preferences. The company has been operating since 2007 and carries a 5.0-star rating across Google and Yelp reviews.
