Private Winemaker's Wine Tour of Santa Barbara

After your knowledgeable and friendly driver picks you up from your hotel or residence, you will enjoy a scenic drive while taking in the beauty and sights of beautiful Santa Barbara. You will make a stop at 3 - 4 boutique and family-run wineries, where you will try some of the most sought after Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other varietals that have made Santa Barbara wine country world renown. Around midday, your driver will set up a delicious lunch at one of the vineyards, or cellars where you will have the chance to enjoy a picnic before your next tasting.

Your last stop will be at a tasting room that specializes in pouring hard-to-find wines. Even though this tasting room is not surrounded by vineyards, it carries some of the most exclusive wines in Santa Barbara. Once your tasting excursion has finished, you will take you back to your hotel or residence where you can take a much needed rest after a long day of pleasing your palate.

There is no charge for tasting fees at the wineries we visit in this tour. We will create an itinerary, and select wineries unless we hear from you about particular wineries you are interested in visiting.

This Santa Barbara wine tour is ideal for couples and small groups. On this full-day excursion, you can relax and enjoy the scenery as you are chauffeured to boutique estate wineries for private, seated tastings. You will have an intimate experience as you meet winemakers in private intimate settings that are not open to the public.

You will be tasting wine right out of the barrel wen available. The itinerary may change, but most likely, you will be tasting in a cellar, and at 2 vineyard settings. You will enjoy a picnic style lunch at one of the vineyards we will visit.
