Sunshine sipping

Amy_M, May 2024

We had such a fun time. Cary our guide was extremely flexible with our schedule. He slipped in a stop to taste olive oil when we were ahead, then called to push our time back at another winery when we lingered over lunch. He was knowledgeable about the destinations and the area- making sure to point out local landmarks. Super fun day! We even got to see llamas and baby goats!

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time on the tour with Cary. It sounds like he went above and beyond to ensure you had a memorable experience, from accommodating your schedule to sharing his knowledge about the area. We're delighted that you enjoyed the olive oil tasting and had the opportunity to see llamas and baby goats along the way. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure in the future!

Grapevine SUV Tour

Robert_V, Apr 2024

We were picked up by a SUV where my wife and I had to crawl in and out of the back at every stop. All their other Grapevine tour buses were broken down. If I would have known of this type of transportation I would have driven myself. The driver was a nice guy and the wineries were nice but the ride ruined the day. The other couple also were very disappointed.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your honesty, and we're deeply sorry to hear about the challenges you faced during your tour. Providing a seamless and enjoyable experience for our guests is our top priority, and we understand that we fell short of that standard in your case. Due to a mechanical issue, we had to utilize a vehicle that our driver was unfamiliar with to avoid cancelling the tour. We understand the inconvenience this caused you. Rest assured, we take your feedback seriously, and we are taking immediate steps to address the issues you've raised. We are conducting thorough training sessions for all our drivers to ensure they are well-equipped to handle any situation and operate every vehicle's interior workings effectively. We truly hope that you'll believe us when we say that most days are not like yours, and we're sincerely sorry for the experience you had. We genuinely hope that you'll consider giving us another try sometime to see what a more typical Grapeline Wine Tour looks and feels like. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Take this wine tour!

What a fabulous day! Caryngton was our driver. He is so friendly, personable and has a great knowledge of the area and the wineries. The other couple was also a delight. This company is worth checking out! You will not be disappointed! 😎😎🍷🍷

Best experience

Angelina_A, Aug 2022

I loved my tour group. So much fun! Beautiful scenery and delicious wines. My mom and I came here for a mother daughter trip and met fun people on our tour group. Would do this again!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for letting us (and everyone else!) know about it.

100% recommend

Lyndsay_P, Aug 2022

A fun day but if you don’t know anything about wine you won’t gain too much insight after the tour .

shari_c, Jul 2022

It was a very fun experience esp having the driver . Couldn’t rate it 5 stars as due to Covid we were not allowed to see the actual wine process. The Gainy vinery was the best and the lady took time to talk to us about winemaking . Lunch was excellent and In scenic winery. Our driver, Carrington, squeezed in olive oil tasting which we greatly appreciated

Christmas in Santa Ynez wineries

Carolyn_S, Jan 2022

We booked the tour December 23 and met some amazing people. The tour was wonderful, as we got to see 3 wineries, and spent at least 1.5 hours in each. Our guide, Anthony took good care of us and made sure we have ample time to finish our sampling and shopping. We enjoyed maybe two or three out of the 16 wines we sampled, but overall, it was a great experience.

Chris, our driver,...

Greg_R, Sep 2021

Chris, our driver, historian, and area expert was amazing. Everyone on our trip raved about her. TOP NOTCH SERVICE!!

Excellent wine tour!! Extremely happy...

Wendy_M, Apr 2021

Took this tour with my husband I’m for our wedding anniversary weekend. We were first time wine tour members and had an absolutely great time! The convenience of being picked up from our hotel was the biggest selling point for us. We made 3 stops and had lunch at one of the wineries. Our driver was funny, personable and extremely helpful. We would definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family. The selection of wineries was wonderful, great selection and romantic views. Perfect day spent around Solvang.
