    Here is just one of the many great Pinots at Clos Pepe
    Mike F.

    Truly inspiring to be part of this one of a kind club and private tasting. Knowledge, beauty and delicious wines pour from the geological wonders of Clos Pepe in the Santa Rita Hills! A must experience!

    Wes Hagen and his wine line up.

    This is by far the best winery/tour on the central coast, if not the whole state. My wife and I had the opportunity to visit on a sunny, warm day in mid-February before the vines showed any form of life. Wes Hagen, the winemaker/winery manager knows his stuff and makes it interesting and fun for wine drinkers of all status. The property is beautiful and the estate (home) on the property where the wine sampling takes place is gorgeous as well. We sampled 13 of his wines dating back to 2000 to his current release (2010) which included Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and even some Rhone varietals. If you've never tried Clos Pepe's Pinot, you're missing out. During the tasting, he also provided us an awesome European cheese plate with 5 varieties and Clos Pepe Pinot jelly. Wes even served us fresh baked bread and wild-picked chanterelle mushrooms, that he cooked with butter and shallots on the spot to pair with his wines. This place is by appointment only and space is very limited and reserved for the privileged few. There's no sales gimmick or pressure to buy anything, but I guarantee the wine and the tour/presentation sell themselves. If you're fortunate enough to reserve a spot o the tour, you'll have a blast and at the minimum walk away with great stories and memories. Enjoy!

    I could go on and on about how great Stagecoach Wine Tours was! It was truly the best experience…read morefor my birthday getaway. From the very beginning, Eric, the owner, was such a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly accommodating and flexible, especially since our Airbnb was located in a more mountainous area of Santa Barbara. Our driver, Tom, was absolutely fantastic. He was a great driver, extremely knowledgeable about the area and wineries, and shared so much interesting information throughout the day. Another great perk was that lunch was included, which made the day even more enjoyable and convenient. A great little unexpected touch was a stop at a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar stand between wineries. It was such a nice addition to the day and made the tour feel even more personalized. If you're looking for a stress free wine tour with wonderful communication, I highly recommend looking into Stagecoach Wine Tours. The pricing is great and it was truly an amazing experience. Will definitely be booking with them the next time I am in Santa Barbara/surrounding areas!

The wineries we visited were beautiful, and the whole day flowed perfectly! Very relaxed, fun, and full of great wine. Tom was the absolute best guide knowledgeable, friendly, and made everyone feel welcome. And a big thank you to Eric, the owner, for creating such a wonderful experience and making sure every detail was just right. You can tell how much pride he takes in what he does. If you're thinking about booking a tour, this is the one to go with. Top-notch service, great people, and an unforgettable day!

Because of our schedule we could only do the afternoon tour with two wineries, but it was still a great experience. The second winery was especially wonderful -- they clearly knew Rick, the service was warm and welcoming, and you could tell everyone genuinely enjoyed what they do. The first winery was beautiful, although the service there was a bit slow. What really stood out was that Rick went out of his way to give us recommendations for things to do afterward, which made the whole day feel very personalized. Overall, first-class service and a great experience. Highly recommend!

    There's an obvious reason why Wine Canyon Tours maintains 5 stars.. Rick was absolutely fantastic…read more A premium experience without the frills. Tours can always be a little daunting but our experience was 10 stars throughout the entirety. We actually wished there was more time! We toured 2 wineries & went to an olive oil/lavender farm where we were able to munch on some snacks. We even made custom charm necklaces at this stop! There was something for everyone on this tour. Expect scenic views, great wines, & a beautiful experience through and through. Rick offered a flexible pickup, was kind, and extremely knowledgeable about wines and the surrounding areas of Santa Ynez without being pushy at all. As a group of 3 girls we felt totally safe and I would 1000% recommend this tour to friends & family!! Thank you Rick for the great time & memories of a lifetime!

They did a remarkable job from beginning to end. Everything was set up so beautifully, including the tables with lovely tablecloths. They arranged the food and our cake along the side of the room, making it easy and convenient for everyone to get what they needed. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and the entire space looked beautiful and welcoming. During such a difficult and emotional time for our family, it meant so much to walk into a room that had been prepared with such care and attention. They helped make a very difficult day a little easier for all of us. I would highly recommend this winery for any special occasion, whether it's a celebration, gathering, or reception. Their hospitality and attention to detail were truly exceptional. Thank you for making my mother's reception so beautiful. My mom would be proud.

All their staffs are amazing. Each and every single one of them brings their own unique perspective to the tasting. Their ways of explaining the wine makes the tasting experience way more fun. Veronica who always takes care of us is basically family now. Each experience just gets better and better. The wine offered is always tasty and full of flavors. Each year brings different flavors which is great to experience. The property is beautiful with all the vineyards in the background while tasting. Also, if you're inside, the nice fireplace makes a fun experience as well. Regardless who takes care of you, the experience will alway be great. With their great wine and friendly service, it's a win win experience. Great for groups, just a casual outing or date. Wine tasting here is always fun. It's also pet friendly which makes it more enjoyable.
