Perfect day

Kimberly_B, Sep 2025

Sunny was the best. She went over and above and created the perfect day for us. The wineries we visited were all very different and it was nice to see the variety.

Best Birthday!

Our group had such a fun day! Ryan was amazing. He picked us up right at the Amtrak station. We visited 3 wonderful wineries and had some delicious sandwiches at our second stop. We were lucky enough to catch some horses out taking a break at our last stop and got to spend some time petting them. All the locations were peaceful and beautiful and Ryan was the best host. All we had to do was enjoy the day. We got back to the train station maybe a half hour early so he recommended a bar/restaurant that was literally right across the street. We finished off our day there with some delicious frosé!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thanks Natalie! I am so glad you enjoyed your Wine Canyon Tour and Ryan :) Thank you for the positive review. Please come back anytime! Cheers! -Rick

Awesome time!

The Great Wine Tour

INGRID_B, Oct 2019

My childhood friend was visiting from New Mexico. I booked this wine tour and was completed satisfied. Rick was a perfect driver and guide. He took us to some very nice winery's with great wines. It was educational as well as fun. The other people on our tour were nice and fun. Rick knows how to give you a wine experience that doesn't rush you but where you truly feel the experience and ambience of the winery and the surrounding nature. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

We had a wonderful time on our wine tour, Rick pick us up at our hotel in Solvang, very nice van, and he was early. He told us an overview of what we would be seeing, and talked about the history of the places we were going to. All the wineries were very nice, he also took us to a olive oil tasting which was awesome, we had a great lunch at the second winery. It was so relaxing, not having to drive, Rick knew exactly where to go. it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend!
