Best day!
Be prepared to make good friends! Funny how you crack open a bottle of wine and the conversation just starts to flow... even with strangers. The most relaxing afternoon my daughter and I ha e spent this vacation! Wines were wonderful! All the wineries accommodated taste preferences. So if you are not fond of reds you can get all whites!
Carrington our host/driver was amazing!

Get the ebike, it lets you really enjoy this relaxing day.
Beautifully perfect day. I love all the knowledge about the area from the olive trees to the vineyard crews. Lunch was fresh and paired perfectly with the wines we had learned about.
The olive oils were the best I've tasted. It may have been the environment. 🫒
We bike regularly. We could have done it without the ebike, but it was nice to relax and focus on the countryside.

Kayaking with Wildlife
We went on the 11 am tour, and the weather was still a little cool and overcast, which is what we prefer. If you want a lot of sun for your tour, try later in the afternoon. The tour itself was great. Ryan was our guide and he obviously has a passion, not only for water sports and kayaking, but also local history and wildlife education. We really enjoyed the whole tour!

Amazing experience
I recently went on my first winery tasting tour, and it was an absolutely amazing adventure! The tour agent truly went above and beyond—he arranged the best wine tour ever. He drove us to every location, picked us up from home, and brought us back safely—no worries about driving after tasting! The wineries were family-owned, which meant they truly cared about their wines and the experience. Plus, the food was included, and everything was organized perfectly. I highly recommend going with this tour agent—it’s an experience you won’t forget

You won’t regret it!!
visiting Santa Barbara for a weekend with my grandma and wanted her to experience the beautiful town that SB is. We booked the 10am trolley and got there 15 minute before (garden) like the email said. The driver approached the stop sign but it wasn’t until he pulled up that you know where to be. He had an A frame with him and I wonder why the company just doesn’t leave the A frame for all to see. There was plenty of room in our train. Rusty gave us a great experience: all his stops and knowledge was intentional, he’s a SB local and really loves the town. I’ve been to this city many times and this is the first time I took this trolley. I might do it again bc it was overcast when we went (still fun). Thank you Rusty for your great hospitality!!!

Excellent Serious Small-Group Wine Experience
Terrific small-group tour for those who are looking for a more in-depth journey to learn more about, taste and purchase excellent wines from smaller producers who take pride in their terroir and craftmanship. Tour leader Scott was very knowledgable of the areas, the winemakers and the wineries visited and created an exceptional experience for the three couples on our tour. 100% would book again.

It’s a great way to get...
The e-bike tour is a great way to get to know the city and to learn about the areas and places where we’d like to return and spend more time. We really covered a lot of ground. Blaze was a great guide - he’s very knowledgeable about Santa Barbara and threw in lots of fun facts!

Great tour in Santa Barbara Wine Country
We had a wonderful day in the wine country of Santa Barbara County. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the wineries in the area, and took us to three small, family owned wineries that produce small batches of excellent wine. We even had a presentation on the whole process, from grape to amazing wine.
We really enjoyed the tour and brought home a number of bottles.
I highly recommend Rooted Vine tours, and would not hesitate to book another tour with them!

Definitely a 5 star exceptionally well done tour
This tour is top notch all the way! Initially we were drawn to this tour because we were looking for a tour that was small group only, would pick us up at the hotel, and would visit lesser known wineries with premium wines. It not only met that criteria, but excelled way beyond our expectations. Scott, our tour guide, picked us in a luxurious Mercedes van. We visited three wineries, each exceptional, and met with the owners/winemakers themselves to taste their wonderful wines and learn more about their production processes . Each setting and wine maker story was unique and delightful. Thank you to Scott for being an amazing host, his attention to detail is noteworthy. Our group appreciated the cheese boards at each tasting and gourmet sandwiches for lunch. Not often do you get fabric table clothes and glass plates for a picnic lunch.

Tour of Wine country
It is a delightful experience held in an idyllic location in California. The wines are varied and tour exposed us to a spectrum we might not otherwise have explored. The tour guide (Johan) was excellent; prompt, well informed, educational and a very good driver. Can’t think of a better way to spend five hours at a very equitable price.

Great Adventure
Wonderful experience! We had a great day with perfect weather. Spencer , our tour guide was fantastic! Kind, helpful, knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly! We had never kayaked before . I especially liked the way Spencer had us get into the kayak , one person at a time from the boat ramp and then pulled us into the water.

Fun time
This was both an educational and a food tour. Learned a lot about Santa Barbara that I did not know. Started the tour off with a fabulous wine tasting. Absolutely beautiful Bordeaux wines were tasted. The food on the tour was delicious especially the goat taco. Well, maybe the noodles were a little bland but can be easily spiced up.
Captain Kirk was a lively guide who truly enjoys what he’s doing. He loves Santa Barbara and it shows in all his stories about this the charming town.
