Exceptional ! The locations were beautiful, extremely fun and knowledgeable guide - only drawback was the small vehicle- we were crammed in and practically sitting in the lap of a stranger, very uncomfortable

I have been on previous trips to Santa Ynez wineries and this was FANTASTIC. Linda was so knowledgeable about the region and made the tour seem less. Our group became fast friends enjoying every winery and every toast. We WILL be back!

Our group of nine booked the "Wine Shuttle" with Santa Barbara Wine Country Tours and had a great day in the Santa Ynez Valley. We chose the shuttle since we knew the wineries we wanted to visit. Our driver, Sunny, was great - good for a laugh and knew how to balance when to be a guide/host and when to just let us relax and have fun. The van was clean and comfortable. Arrived on time for pickup at our Airbnb and dropped off right as expected.So nice and relaxing. Very good food at the second stop. Good wine. Even great weather. The guide was good too.

Sunny our guide was the best part of the tour. VERY knowledgeable and knew the countryside inside and out. The wineries she chose were excellent and we were very happy with the whole experience. We would choose her again in a minute! Her driving was impeccable and her “sunny” attitude chased what few rain clouds had gathered on the horizon. 5 stars Sunny!Wine tour transportation.
