This was great. It starts off with a beautiful bike ride to Solvang and then through the Vineyards. We stopped at a Lavender farm. Then came back to the meeting point where we had an olive oil tasting. Then a wonderful picnic lunch with wine, then went to a tasting after that. We had the best weather so this was a perfect afternoon out to celebrate our Anniversary. William is awesome and knows a lot about the area and the wine.

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. đź«’
We bike regularly. We could have done it without the ebike, but it was nice to relax and focus on the countryside.

Beautiful location that is comfortably explored on the e-bikes. Our guide William was very well versed on the area, the vineyards/their history and the wine they produce. Bikes were in tip-top shape and safe; in fact, the whole ride felt safe even as we were in more trafficked areas. Picnic lunch was delish. Would definitely recommend.

William is an excellent guide!! The bikes are easy to ride. You could have as much or as little challenge as desired. The views and wine were wonderful.

Great bike tour and wine tasting. Beautiful scenery. Excellent lunch. William was a great guide and the e bikes made the trip very comfortable. Our 13 year old had no problem with mileage. Great day trip if staying in Santa Barbara. Lovely to visit Solvang, with its Danish architecture and shops. Would definitely recommend.

This was a very relaxing bike tour through the wine country of San Ynez valley and Solvang. William is a very knowledgeable and relaxed host. The e-bikes were well maintained and made the trek up hills very easy, good for any level of rider. The scenic route was great for pictures. Very leisurely pace and great wine tastings at the end.

My sister & I were looking for wine tours, we’re so glad to have found this one! It was the most perfect day. We loved having the e-bike option since there were times it was a bit hilly. William was a fantastic tour guide! His knowledge of the history of the area & different vineyards was incredible. It was amazing to learn/listen to him. The course he took us on had a little bit of everything! Sprawling hills of vineyards, lavender farm, a cute Danish town & even miniature ponies! We ended the bike tour with a balsamic & olive oil tasting before enjoying a delicious lunch followed by 2 different wine tasting flights. Both vineyards were stunning in their own way. We definitely recommend booking this tour!
