We had a great time! Ryan was entertaining and fun to be with. Everyone in our group was fully engaged and sorry to see it come to an end. Who knew Solvang had such a colorful history?!

John was very good and explained everything well. The only complaint we had at all was the second bar served a strong drink and not wine that we were expecting.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Terri, thanks for your review. I'll be sure to pass this feedback along to our team as well

John was an amazing tour guide. Great story, great wine. All the stops had a story and great stories along the way.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks so much, Christopher! Your kind words mean a lot. Hope to take you on another adventure soon!

This tour was so much more fun than expected. Our tour guide Ryan had the perfect personality for this tour. He was able to bring a group of stranger together and absolutely make us feel like we were already friends and wanted to stay in contact. The establishments that we visited for wine tasting were quirking and so different. I probably would have never walked into them if I was on my own. The wines were fabulous and buy some to take home, they are worth it.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thanks for the feedback, Jean! Looking forward to seeing you again!

We had an amazing time thanks to John! Not only was he incredibly friendly and welcoming. The stories kept us entertained the whole time, and the extra bonus John provided was the cherry on top! It’s rare to meet someone who goes above and beyond to make sure you have a memorable time, and John did just that.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thanks for leaving a review, Drea! Glad you enjoyed the evening. We’d love to have you back for another wine tour!

I just finished an unforgettable tour in Solvang that perfectly blended intriguing history, unique local stops, and, of course, amazing wine tastings. Even though it was John’s first time as a tour guide, he exceeded every expectation with his enthusiasm, knowledge, and natural storytelling ability.
One of the highlights was the slasher-themed winery—an unexpected and fun twist that featured a creative wine-based tiki cocktail. It was the perfect mix of spooky charm and delightful flavors, making it a memorable experience for all of us true crime and adventure enthusiasts.
If you’re looking for a tour that offers a blend of mystery, local flavor, and a warm, engaging guide, I highly recommend booking this one. Kudos to John for his fantastic debut—can’t wait to join another tour with him in the future!
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Hi Jamie, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! We take pride in our wine and true crime tours and are so glad you enjoyed your evening. Hope to take you on another adventure soon!

Wow, what a wonderful surprise this great mystery tour was! Megan was our tour guide and she was just fantastic! Very entertaining and extremely informative. We spent our tour learning about and visiting some very eclectic and super cool places all while being entertained by Megan’s magnificent story telling skills about murder and mayhem that fascinated us while we were plied with several different wines and cool cocktails for sure! Who knew Solvang had the coolest Tiki bar???!!! Megan was outstanding keeping mindful of some tourist mobility issues all the while make sure we each had the best experience! Well worth every cent and then some. Highly recommend!

Megan our tour guide for the Solvang Wine and True Crime Tour was absolutely fantastic. Not only was she super upbeat and had all of the good vibes, she was also knowledgeable about all things Solvang. The true crime portion of the tour had the hairs on the back of my neck standing at attention. The bars we went to had a wonderful atmosphere and tasty drinks. This tour was the perfect beginning to our family Christmas holiday in Solvang. Thanks Megan!!
