Solvang food and wine tour.

You get a personalized tour and history. The guide took his time and didn’t rush through any stop. He felt very proud that he lived in town and that added to the charm of the tour.

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.
