    Sidecar adventure
    Toshi I.

    Looking for adventure, a friend and I planned a Moms' day trip for Santa Barbara wine tasting. My friend had purchased a Groupon for a sidecar and winery Tour which sounded fun. We had arranged to meet our guide at a local winery. I saw Sam with his motorcycle and scale-wise when I saw the sidecar, i was concerned if two grown women can comfortably fit. We fit just fine and we took off with Sam narrating during a refreshing, fun ride through the streets of Santa Barbara. Sam, our guide, was very personable and very accommodating, offering to take our photos at scenic spots. He dropped us off at our first winery and came back after 50 minutes to take us to the next winery. After our 2nd winery, we ended up at our initial meeting place. The two wineries that came with this package were both very different making this even a better value. This was definitely a fun way to enjoy the local wineries without actually getting behind the wheel. Would highly recommend!

    My boyfriend and I had a great time doing a scenic tour of Santa Barbara. Sonia was our driver and was AWESOME! She knew some great routes and let us stop and take pictures whenever we wanted. We hit all the spots: downtown, the Rose Garden, up into the hills and down to the beach. Gorgeous views and lots of smiles from passerbys the whole time. All the while, we relaxed as Sonia zoomed us along. We're both tall people (I'm 5'10" and my bf is 6'2") so we worried it would be a tight fit in the sidecar, but we were still comfortable. If you need to stop to stretch, you can always ask, Sonia was so accommodating! 10/10 recommend a side car tour, and 10/10 recommend Sonia as your driver!

    We stopped at Butterfly Beach.

    We had a fabulous time on our weekend sidecar tour in SB. The weather was perfect and our guide Robert C. was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, funny, and nice. Even as locals we had a blast on this tour around town. Robert took pictures of us in front of some great photo op locations such as the Mission and Couthouse. Would highly recommend this as a fun local date or touristy activity for people from out of town.

    Absolutely loved this! We had a group of 8 in Santa Barbara for my wedding party so we had 4 bikes. So much fun!! The drivers were safe and fun and knowledgeable. We went to two great wineries as well. Highly recommend!! My husband and I will be looking into their Temecula tour next.

    The BEST experience! I would 100% recommend this adventure to anyone. I didn't realize it would be a bit of a tour of SB as well, which was such a unique tour. Plus, the two wineries (Jamie Slone & Fox Wine Co.) we're both delicious. Our drivers, Robert & David, we're so knowledgeable about SB and taking us to the most beautiful spots for photo ops. The perfect gift for anyone!

    Wow!!! What a great way to see the beautiful sights of Santa Barbara!! Robert was a great tour guide and took us to some great wineries and to see amazing views all over the city!! Would definitely recommend!!! A+++

    Your side-car chariot awaits!

    My girlfriend and I went on a scenic tour of Santa Barbara and Montecito with David as our driver/tour guide and we had an absolute blast! David was a great guide and knowledgeable about the area as well as being really friendly. The tour, the routes, the sites and the people were amazing to see and watch. If we had been staying in Santa Barbara instead of Los Angeles I think we might have gone for the winery tour, but the scenic one was still awesome and fun! I definitely would recommend it!

    We had a great time on our wind trashing sidecar tour with our driver, Robert. Despite the cold and fog, we bundled up and still really enjoyed our time. We drove along East beach up to Montecito, then back through the funk zone to our first tasting room. From there, we went up to the SB mission and back down to the harbor before going to our second tasting room. We bought our tickets on Groupon so the entire experience was reasonably priced at the end of the day (they may honor Groupon prices directly if you ask?). Highly recommended!

    David was the best driver -- very prompt, communicative, knowledgeable and he dressed with "a bit of swagger"!

    If there's a Western themed anything in Southern CA you better believe I'm trying to be there, and…read moreBuckles 'n' Brews ain't no exception! En Fuego Events always puts on incredible festivals throughout SB County, but this one stands out to me because of it's small local feel. When you think festival you probably think Coachella or some massive event on a field somewhere. Buckles 'n' Brews is a smaller sized, half indoor half outdoor, beer sampling event at a hidden carriage museum right by downtown Santa Barbara. Don't be fooled though, there's plenty of parking despite the location size. This fest has everything from IPAs to refreshing ciders, Tri-Tip BBQ sandwiches and home brewed hoppy. Each year the vendors slightly vary and the beers themselves are always new and unique. There's fantastic live music played by the Dusty Jugz which always ends up in a "stage" full of line dancers. I'd recommend this festival to anyone looking to have a wild western themed Saturday with close friends and locals alike, dancing to country and lifting a cheers to craft beers in a nice, local intimate location.

It was quite a relaxing morning before the event. We didn't know about the parking until we walked in from the 90 mins street parkings. Got handed out a wristband, a cute short glass, and a yelp bag. So awesome to get in this event and tried as much beers as I can. So much fun the beer I like the most is the High Heat Edition from The Brewhouse, it habanero spicy, love it...found my new beer. There is pretzels to snack on. Drink and play! It a great event where we can relax and enjoy with country music and tastes all kind of great beers. People here are so friendly and very informative about the beers and anything you wanted to ask. Also game to play, basically it's a wonderful and fun event to be at and enjoy after our busy working day. My friend and I had a great time. Thanks, Dani!

She was super chill and fun, and just the kind of person you want to go beer tasting with. She is extremely knowledgeable about brewing, so it was awesome to hear about how the different beers are made, and understand why they taste the way they do. Second, can we talk about the fact that a fun bus picks you up and drives you to your preselected list of breweries? That alone is cause for celebration. And third, the beer tastings were tasty and varied, which I very much appreciated. We tried lagers, IPAs, porters, saisons, wheat ales, etc. A total of 12 tastings, and all expertly picked. So, all that said, I'd definitely go again and try a few new breweries!

Pre-pandemic I attended their North LA Beer Bus Tour and this takes it up a level from the comfort of home :) Give them a try, great beers, people, and quality service to support talented - local business!

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.

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.
