Solvang Tours and Tickets

1 hour 45 minutesFree Cancellation

This is not your typical wine tasting. The Wine & True Crime Tour blends Solvang’s quirkiest tasting rooms with chilling tales of crime and the macabre. Think of it as a storytelling experience with drinks, not a guided lesson in wine. Over two hours, you’ll join a small group of fellow true crime fans as we visit three unique spots, including a slasher-themed winery and offbeat wine bars. Along the way, your guide will share gripping stories of 70s serial killers, unsolved mysteries, and haunted mortuaries. You’ll enjoy three generous pours: a wine flight, a wine-based tiki cocktail (no rum here), and a sparkling wine farewell toast. Come ready for dark tales, bold pours, and a one-of-a-kind night out.

Great Santa Ynez Wine Tour

We had a very enjoyable 5 hour wine tour with Tom. We loved the wineries that he selected for us. He arrived on time, drove safely, shared interesting information during our drives, and provided a great lunch. He’s a great tour provider. It was also a private tour for our group of 4, which was an extra bonus.
