Perfect mix of wineries

Ali_M, Oct 2022

Our group had such a wonderful day on this wine tour! We went to three different wineries/tastings, each with its own feel, which was the perfect mix to get a sense of the Santa Ynez Valley wine scene. Tom was friendly and professional, lunch was yummy, and each of the winery owners were welcoming and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!

Perfect day tasting and learning!

Michelle_H, Apr 2021

This was a GREAT tour!!! We were all novices to wine tasting, but we felt so comfortable from the beginning. We got to sample from small, local wineries, and learn so much about the whole process. Each host was so different and very informative. Tom, our guide, did a wonderful job choosing three very unique places. Also, the wines for purchase were quite reasonably priced. Overall we would highly recommend this tour!

Brenda R, Sep 2017

Easy breezy tour! Artisan Excursion provided us a super chill host Tom who taxied us from hotel to several wineries, and returned us safely back to our hotel. Reliable, laid back, and he chose some really great scenic wineries to visit! Tom served us a delicious lunch from Panino midway thru our tour. Fabulous way to celebrate a birthday with family... and made a few new friends along the way! Highly recommend!

We had a blast with this tour. It...

We had a blast with this tour. It was my daughter's 21st birthday and she was up for the fun. Our guide Tom knows the area very well and the wineries chosen. Our lunch salads were excellent too. Thank you. We will visit again!
