This was my second time wine tasting with Wine Edventures. This time I brought a house guest from Florida who had never had the experience. It was wonderful, despite the rain! Our driver/tour guide, Lisa Stoll, was the best! She possessed all the necessary credentials to keep us well informed and interested in the various phases of wine in the... More

We just got back last weekend for a trip to Santa Barbara visiting my best friend. My husband, best friend, her boyfriend and myself decided to take a private wine tour around Santa Barbara for the day. We went with the private wine tour since we don't get to see each other often and we wanted alone time and we... More

Not really a wine buff but enjoy a bottle of whats on offer from the local supermarket on a regular basis. The trip was fun without the overpowering pompous winetalk bollocks you would get from a similar european event. The drive through the countryside revealed some spectacular scenary that you simply wouldn't find if you did it on your own.... More

This was our second trip with Wine Edventures and we absolutely loved it (again). Shawn is fantastic and surprisingly after a single day, you leave learning a ton about wine, tasting a lot and feeling like you could actually know what your talking about when describing your likes/dislikes, varietals, etc. We absolutely love Santa Barbara/Santa Ynez and have tried other...

Would strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed day with enough information about the wines we were drinking. The... More

We were looking for a fun and relaxing day of tasting new wines, and hopefully to learn a bit along the way. We got just that. Shawn, our guide and driver, led the two of us and about 15 others through three wineries and a visit to a wine club (which we never could have discovered on our own.) Shawn... More

So personable, comfortable, and fun! Sean was great, made us feel right at home, and introduced us to some great wineries. We'd use them again.

The shuttle van arrived early in front of my lodging than the scheduled 10:15 a.m. pick up on a Thursday morning. I felt a bit rushed but Lisa (tour guide) and the group she were with were very nice in greeting and welcoming me. We were a group of seven -- two from the east coast, two from Texas, a... More
