Rick is an exceptional tour guide of SB’s wine country. He was very thoughtful in ensuring we maximized our day together and is very knowledgeable of the regional nuances that make this part of the world so special. Spending the afternoon with Rick reassured me that a proper tour of wine country is the best way to experience and appreciate this area; wine tasting rooms can only offer an ounce of what we enjoyed past the Santa Ynez mountains. My family and I will be booking with Rick the next time I we are in SB and am keen that he is the only suitable guide for the experience!

This afternoon tour was perfect for our quick trip to SB. Rick provided a comfortable ride, knowledge about the area, helped us with our purchases and photos, and even grabbed some snacks to enhance the whole experience. Highly recommend!

Rick was an amazing guide on our afternoon wine tour. He kept all of my girlfriends entertained with jokes, stories, history of the area, and facts about wine. There were six of us celebrating my birthday and we all felt special and taken care of. Thanks for making my trip memorable.

Rick our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. We visited 2 vineyards in the Los Olivos area, both were situated in lovely surroundings. The tour also included olive oil tasting.
A great afternoon was had by all.
