I was so happy to see that they also had non-alcoholic wine options for me! Tigan was our pourer, and he was incredible! He was so informative, and we loved learning about the owner's story and the stories behind the different wine labels. The property is beautiful! On one side of the road, you'll find the tasting room and a lovely outdoor seating area with picnic tables and corn hole boards. Across the street is the Farmstead, complete with adorable animals, including baby pigs and a miniature Highland cow named Hubba Bubba! Tigan even gave us some food to feed the animals, and they were so cute! It was such a fun experience. Next time, we'll plan to spend more time here and do one of the tours around the farm. It's also very kid-friendly, with experiences for the whole family. 10/10 recommend! We can't wait to come back!

He marked everything down on the map for us so we wouldn't miss anything. Later that day, when we walked by around 5:30 PM, I saw him getting ready to close for the day and sweeping the floor.

This is one of the BEST tours I've ever done, and I've done a lot of them!…read more William was friendly, helpful, and overall just a really great guide. We were staying in Solvang so saved $10 per person by meeting at the starting point, Brander Vineyards (vs taking the van from SB), and he sent me info on what time to get there and where to park ahead of time. There was no time wasted on this tour. We got a quick info session on how to use the e-bikes - VERY easy! - and then got started. The 16-ish mile ride was easy on the e-bikes; the one thing I will say is that I'm grateful everyone on our tour chose them because it definitely would have been different if there had been people utilizing regular bikes on the uphill climbs. We stopped for rests and photos several times, including at a mini horse farm! My 17-year-old was with me and when we made our last stop at the lavender farm William grabbed him a lavender lemonade since he obviously couldn't partake in the wine tastings. Great service! Speaking of wine tastings, there were two included, and we also got some great souvenir water bottles with the brand name on them! The lunch - caprese-style sandwiches, side salad, and charcuterie boards - was also awesome. We also had an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting toward the end, which was a really neat touch :) I can't say enough good things about this tour, especially for the price we paid. I did a tour in Sonoma last year that was more expensive and didn't include any wine tastings at all, and while I had a great time on that tour regardless, this one was above and beyond and I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!

Melanie clearly knows the Santa Ynez Valley well and has great connections in the wine community. Perhaps she was having an off day, but Melanie arrived a bit late and came across as a little distracted and not quite as engaged as we'd hoped. She didn't linger with our group longer than needed, but we felt rushed toward the end of each stop. The driving between locations was also not great and added to the feeling that we were being hurried through the experience. Despite those hiccups, the quality of the tour itself speaks for itself. We'd definitely give Destination Vine a second chance and look forward to experiencing it at a more relaxed pace.

I appreciated the hotel pickup and drop off and the drive was beautiful. If you're staying in Santa Barbara, be sure to check the weather for Santa Ynez - it ended up being about 10 degrees warmer up in the valley on the day we visited. We stopped at 3 wineries as well as a farm stand style olive oil place. At two of the three wineries, the winemaker themselves led our tasting. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions we had. I'd be happy to attend another tour with Stagecoach in the future.

Out guide was Nancy, and she was super sweet, thoughtful, and insightful, but my review isn't based on her. It's based on experience and value. What did $270 plus tip get us over 4 hours? 2 regular sized margaritas, one small one and a total of 5 Street sized tacos and some very unathentic churrros. I would have loved to have options of some kind, we were served whatever meat they wanted to serve. These tacos were not authentic and definitely were not filling, we all were starving when we left. We definitely did more walking and talking than eating and drinking. Would definitely say, for the price, you're better off bar/taco hopping yourself. I gave 3 stars since I went with good friends and Nancy was sweet.

I am so happy we went on this…read moretour, we had a fantastic guide, Georgia, that was so very knowledgeable about the Santa Barbara history and she also had a great spunky personality that made the tour even better. We got plenty of food! Definitely no need to eat lunch after as was our plan. Delicious dishes! My favorite was a Thai salad with Mango, but we also had street tacos, and a cheese board oh wait maybe that was my favorite... or maybe the ice cream?! Oh also had chicken parmigiana and tagliatelle served with a fun Margarita! Yummy.... We also had one really great wine tasting, the only "bad" part was that I really wanted to order some wine but we kinda moved on before we got the chance to order. If I would change anything I would ask that they maybe give you a little more heads up. Georgia did a great job weaving together stories about both historical events and famous people in SB history with architectural information. I would highly recommend you put some comfy shoes on and book this tour ASAP!
