★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 145 reviews · from $235

Explore private Santa Ynez wineries with a small group, seated tastings, organic lunch, cheese, and hotel pickup from Santa Barbara.

“An exceptional small group (we were 8) private wine tour. Scott was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We went to three different wineries along the Chumash Hwy, where we enjoyed a private tasting. Stops included 5-6 tastings and at least an hour and a half stop with the wine maker or someone with the knowledge and experience to answer questions. I would highly recommend this tour, as it’s private, off the beaten path. No big signs and parking lots full of cars. A lovely way to spend an afternoon! Lunch was included and you get to enjoy it at a winery.”

“We had an incredible experience with Sustainable Wine Tours Santa Barbara. Scott put together a fully customized, VIP-level tour to three amazing wineries and we truly felt like VIPs all day. The scenery was beautiful, the stories and people we met were incredible, and every detail from vineyard tours to a catered lunch and even birthday cupcakes was perfectly planned. He went above and beyond to help us celebrate our birthday trip and made our group of Midwest moms feel so special. Ending the day with a fun, dance-filled ride back was the perfect wrap-up. Highly recommend. It honestly felt like we were in a movie.”

Pair Santa Barbara ghost stories with local wine, historic sites, and a small-group walk led by passionate guides.

“I'll start 1st with, the winery we met at was super yummy. It was fun and interactive and we had a good group of ladies. Then the tour started. It was fun, cute ghost stories and the locations where these ghosts can be found was fun. Our guide was such a sweet girl. The down side, i was thinking there would be more. For the amout we paid, i kind of expected another wine tasting, as 1 tasting and a 20min ghost tour for this amount, is not worth it to me. Side note: They did say, the night tours are more fun, so try the instead of the day…”
