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.

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!

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.

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.

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!!

Johannson was our tour guide and did an excellent job. We tasted wine at three different wineries and also stopped and did some olive oil tasting. Lunch was very good with the Emu's at the Koehler winery. We even had some time to walk around the tiny town of Los Olivos. We were on the tour with three other couples from Wales, Nashville, Pasadena and we are from Ventura. We enjoyed listening to each others experiences and thoughts on the different wines we tasted.

Great host and experienced driver. We will do the trip again just for the open communication about the reigons history and functions.

While we really enjoyed the first and second winery the last stop was a bit of a disappointment. It was overly crowded and not what we were expecting at all. When paying for a wine tour we expected all three stops to be more interactive with the staff so we would be able to lear more and ask questions and while the first two did have that aspect the third location was not at all what we anticipated.

We truly enjoyed our tour & tour guide-the lunch included was really good-we shared our cupcakes with the other passengers-they we’re yummy as well! Thank you!

Not at all as advertised. No cupcake pairings. Just a random box of cupcakes from the market that were hot and melted from sitting in the back of the van. Some how we were mixed in with people that had not selected the cupcake tour so everyone was wondering why we got these random cupcakes and they got none. Very weird.

Great company on the tour bus. The wine tours started great and went a little downhill from there. The driver could have given more information about the wine tasting. We had novices on the tour and more information would have made the tour much better. There was no cupcake tasting, just a cupcake at the last winery.

An amazing tour to 3 different wineries, though the tour guide, (I don't remember her name), was so unfriendly and wasn't much of a tour guide but a driver. she was silent the whole trip to and from wineries. She Didn't say much and it seemed like she didn't want to be there at all. The 3 wineries were amazing and the cupcakes were absolutely delicious Hopefully next time we get a better tour guide. There is also a sign in the bus saying social distancing required, however, the bus was full about 10 people and were were all packed in No room for social distancing

This was an absolutely amazing experience travelling through some of the most beautiful countrysides SoCal has to offer. The tour guide was both friendly and knowledgeable and the selections of wines on offer was top-notch; I ended up taking several bottles home for both gifts and personal consumption. 10/10 experience, would book again in a heartbeat!

The whole day was a very enjoyable experience, we especially enjoyed having lunch at our second stop and having a flight of cupcakes at the end. The choice of wineries was great. Our tour guide was friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, easy going
