Walking through Santa Barbara after dark, we were immersed in its history, eerie tales, and hauntingly beautiful sights. The flow of the tour was perfect, with just the right balance of history, mystery, and atmosphere. We enjoyed every minute of this unforgettable evening and can't recommend it highly enough.

Maybe Syrah is not their top wine varietal? Space was nice, next to a cheese shop, small but quaint. Maybe a little louder on the music we be nice. Well here was the issue, the staff! There was an older gentleman, he looked like he was in outer space, mumbling his words, seemed confused, shaking, didn't say hardly anything about the wine, just mumbled, poured and walked away. Also, we had to keep reminding him we needed our next pour. There was also a younger (ish) guy there, super awkward, weird eye contact, not very friendly and didn't seem to know much. First time here and a bit put off. We went to 2 other wineries in the area and did not like the wine and much, but the vibe and staff were pleasant and seemed to like their job and know what they were talking about (for the most part) Mixed feelings on this one, need better staff?

On the contrary, service here could not be more friendly. Did a flight while sitting outside which was enjoyable throughout; wine was like-not-love until the end.

Really well rounded and full bodied red with lots of fruit. I ended up shipping 2 bottles back home I liked it so much. Loved the vibe here and how down to earth they were.

I booked the Classic Wine Tour with Coastal Concierge and it was the perfect introduction to Santa Barbara's wine country. The experience struck the ideal balance between fun and educational--every stop was approachable yet still showcased the richness of the region's wines. My guide made the day engaging and accessible, explaining the winemaking process and helping me discover styles I may not have tried on my own. The atmosphere was relaxed, the tastings were well-paced, and there was plenty of time to enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed. This is such a great option for anyone who enjoys wine but doesn't consider themselves an expert. By the end of the day, I felt like I not only tasted some wonderful wines, but also learned so much about what goes into making them. Coastal Concierge made it effortless and enjoyable--I can't wait to book again. read more

Melanie clearly knows the Santa Ynez Valley well and has great connections in the wine community. Perhaps she was having an off day, but Melanie arrived a bit late and came across as a little distracted and not quite as engaged as we'd hoped. She didn't linger with our group longer than needed, but we felt rushed toward the end of each stop. The driving between locations was also not great and added to the feeling that we were being hurried through the experience. Despite those hiccups, the quality of the tour itself speaks for itself. We'd definitely give Destination Vine a second chance and look forward to experiencing it at a more relaxed pace.

The longer: My boyfriend and I were looking to do a private wine tasting for the two of us. I contacted Michael a month or so in advance, was able to pre-pay by credit card (yes - points!!), and found Michael to be so warm and helpful. We got picked up exactly on time in a Mercedes truck and drove 45 minutes to Santa Ynez. We started at Grassini family vineyards - where Jared led us through an incredible tasting experience, and gave us a tour of the property, including the wine cellar and wine production areas. Michael had set up an adorable picnic for us near the lake, but we weren't quite hungry yet, so without question - he picked up and we moved onto the next spot. It was pretty hard to top Grassini, but Roblar Vineyard was beautiful, had such nice staff and an outdoor area where Michael set up a second picnic for us - complete with paninis, chips & glass plates, silverware and cloth napkins. For our last stop, Michael gave us options: we opted to go into Los Olivos - a cute little town with tons of tasting rooms and bars. We had another tasting included and he gave us some free time to drunkenly wonder around town (aka walk across the street). We did Dragonette's tasting room, which was good (but at this point we were both pretty drunk) and then popped across the street, so we could try local beer. Michael dropped us home - and even gave us dinner and local brewery and tasting room suggestions! Thank you, Michael, for a really memorable experience! We appreciate your kindness, knowledge, and professionalism! :-)

Tony was very nice - had some nice knowledge of the area, some funny/corny jokes, and most importantly, got us there and back safely. Four stars I think is solid for the most part but here's some feedback on the remaining star: 1- It was my understanding that the company had actual coupons for different places but NOT the first place we went (because another group of folks already had a tour booked) - so the tasting was a tad pricy at $25 per person. Only 1 of 3 wineries/wine shops we visited honored their "2 for 1 tasting coupon" which was "tell them Tony sent you" - and even that place was a bit confused but still honored it. 2- All love Tony, but when you ask on the way back "who likes country?" and your met with crickets - but you play it anyway for the next 30 minutes - probably best to read the room/crowd ...... very much not a big deal, but an observation. Tony does provide a nice energy for groups like these. Nick was super responsive and helpful with making my reservation as there were a few hiccups with the site. Thanks again for your help!
