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!

If you're thinking about booking a tour, this is the one to go with. Top-notch service, great people, and an unforgettable day!

He is very knowledgeable and was a great guide/driver for our groups wine tasting tour. They picked us up around 10 am (supposed to be 10am but my group of friends are notorious for running late lol) in a SUV and we set off for out first stop which is one of the older wine makers in Santa Ynez and Santa Barbara. We stayed for an hour or so then took off to the next winery where we had more wine and a lunch. The lunch was really good and it was refreshing to not have a store wrapped sandwich that are 2 for $3.00 from Vons. We could tell they actually put some effort into this meal. After our meal and what was probably my favorite wine of the day (port wine is amazing here) The third and final trip was a beautiful drive to Solvang where they served us even more wine. I was feeling pretty good at this point so i'm not 100% sure what I ordered but it was delicious and enough for me :P We have already booked another appointment for my buddies birthday in September and we can't wait to go back! I highly recommend Off The Vine Wine Tours!

We had so much fun in wine country with Off the Vine Wine Tours that we're already planning our next trip back. It's so pretty in the Santa Ynez valley that you never want to leave! We'll never forget the experience we had with them. They were the perfect company to tour wine country with. We felt safe and in good hands the entire time and made some great friends along the way. Ironically the people we met happen to live close by to us in the San Diego area. We'll be back for sure!

The first thing she did was pass out packages of popcorn from the Santa Barbara Popcorn Company for us to snack on while we were walking. The popcorn is delicious and comes in 42 flavors and is available to order for shipping, which I may do because I live in Ohio. Now for the actual tour. The food and drink variety was great. The food included octopus ceviche, schnitzel poutine, wood fired fennel sausage pizza, chicken street tacos, and ice cream, all of which were delicious. We also had a couple types of beer, wine, and spirits. It was so much fun to walk through the streets with 8 new friends and stop for great food and drink. Kayla also gave us some history of the area and pointed out several beautiful wall paintings. The area was beautiful. This was a great tour and a great time. I highly recommend Eat this, Shoot that.

If you're doing a food tour and you're walking through the city, you should definitely have some…read morehands sanitizer or have spots along the way, picked out to be regularly washing your hands. You also should refrain from touching people's plates and cups as you discuss and show them the food items. I understand it's a food tour, but especially when you don't have clean hands, it's highly unsanitary! It's also a good idea to not greet dogs and let them lick all over you ... your hands.... your arms AND your face while you're interacting with people who are eating food, bringing them food from the restaurant & leading a tour. It's a good idea to give people space after you give them the information about the tour and the food and the art and let them socialize with the people that they came with. We should not have experience the person who is giving the tour or learning how to give a tourist next to you constantly asking you questions about what you're eating, what you're trying, where you're from or other questions that are really irrelevant .. it is pretty annoying & doesn't allow you to enjoy the experience fully. It's not a good idea to take shortcuts, because it's easier for you as the tour guide. One of our group members ate meat. The other 2 are vegetarians, but to keep it simple or make it easier. She was repeatedly offered vegetarian options and not given the opportunity to try the meat options along the tour. This was frustrating as you were very clear when setting up the tour, what the food restrictions were, we reminded them again when we got to the beginning of the tour and also reminded along the tour. How often will we need to say it in order to get the full experience. Although the tour guide and her trainee were very nice & social, it is not likely not an experience we'll do again.

The flight offered a great balance of whites and reds, and Teagan was extremely informative, sharing both tasting notes and historical context behind the wines without it feeling rehearsed. The scenery was just as impressive: beautifully lit vineyard, lush greenery everywhere, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. Between the service, the wine, and the setting, this was an amazing introduction to wineries and a place we'd happily return to.

He made our booking process seamless and stress-free, which is exactly what you want when planning a wine day. Jose picked us up in a beautiful limo with complimentary champagne already chilled and ready--such a fun and thoughtful touch to kick off the day. When we ran behind schedule, he took care of everything, calling ahead to our winery reservations to push them back without any stress on our end. He also had awesome recommendations for local wineries we hadn't even considered, and every suggestion was spot-on. Throughout the day, he was friendly, helpful, and just genuinely great to be around. You can tell he knows the area inside and out and truly wants his guests to have a great time. Already thinking about planning our next trip with him! Highly, highly recommend booking with Jose and 805 Wine Tours--you'll be in great hands.
