Perfect wine tour

This year we did something different for Thanksgiving. We spent an extended weekend in Santa Barbara. We wanted to do some wine tastings without the hassle of renting a car and driving ourselves, so we chose Sustainable Wine Tours. This was a great choice.

Private tastings with the winemakers themselves… amazing tour!

What an amazing time exploring 3 wineries in Santa Ynez Valley with Scott! We got personal, private tastings with small batch wineries and met the winemakers themselves! If you love wine, learning about the process of wine, and supporting small businesses this is the tour for you!

Best wine tour I’ve ever been on

Our wine tour was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The owner, Scott, picked us up in a large Mercedes sprinter van right outside our Air bnb for our party of 8. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and played great music.

10/10 experience

Scott was AMAZING. My family of eight was visiting Santa Barbara. We wanted to visit central coast wineries . Scott picked us up in a beautiful sprinter van. He arranged three visits to three incredible and private wineries. Our visits were private to just my family.
