They were on time and the driver tried to be helpful. The wineries were not very nice compared to what is available in the area. My understanding is the town of Los Olives has 1200 people and 50 wineries.

Sunny was great and very informative. She went out of her way to make it a great experience. Despite challenging weather- cold and windy

We had a great time on our wine trip. Just 4 of us which was perfect. We boosted some great wineries, all at the suggestion of our tour guide. Money well spent!

We had a small group of six with the best tour guide, Linda. 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.
