Richard and Sean were both very helpful and provided great customer service! Such peace of mind to not worry about how to get everywhere, parking, etc., for our girls trip. Highly recommend Destination Drivers! read more

I rented a Cadillac Escalade via Turo for a wine tasting tour of California with two other couples. Our first stop was the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Ynez. So many great wines to taste, but I was the designated driver - until I found Destination Drivers. I sent an email explaining my situation and was immediately contacted by Sean from Destination Drivers. He explained that he would be available and, as a registered driver with Turo, could be added to our reservation with a simple button click in the Turo app. The communication and process was clear and precise. Sean's driving was excellent. He also went above and beyond and helped us with baggage, getting in and out of the car, recommending additional stops based upon local knowledge and connections, and keeping us on schedule. He also put up with our laughter, banter, and loud music after a day of sampling the best wines in the valley. I have no hesitation recommending he and the company he will certainly use them on our next trip. By the way - hiring a driver from destination drivers is significantly more affordable then renting an equivalent car and driver from a wine touring company or, worse, taking the risk of driving yourself. It's an absolute no-brainer. read more

Our experience with DD was absolutely incredible. From my first contact with Sean to arrange the tour, to the ongoing updates and suggestions leading up to the tour date. Richard was our driver and we thoroughly enjoyed the not only the service but the interaction. His knowledge of the Santa Ynez history and his polite, yet casual manner were an added bonus. There is no doubt that we will continue to use DD's services, and I love the fact that we were in our own car!! Thank you, Sean and Richard, for making our Mom and Daughter trip a great success!!! Can't wait for the next adventure! read more

Sean was Awesome. He picked out three wineries and they were all fantastic. If I had a question or change his email response was immediate. Very very attentive. Our driver Richard has lived for 30 years in Los Olivos and was also great! Highly highly recommend!!! read more

Sean at Destination Drivers was excellent from booking to recommendations to driving. We had a really wonderful day! Sean suggested an itinerary that worked really well for us- three more boutique wineries. He offered to pickup our lunch order while we were at the first winery and we enjoyed it at the second. He was flexible when we spent more time at one of the wineries and switched up the ride back to Santa Barbara when one person in our party was feeling motion sickness. Couldn't recommend Sean and DD enough! read more

We used Destination Drivers while visiting few wineries in Santa Barbara. What a treat ! We had Sean as our driver / guide. He picked us up at the hotel , took us from one winery to another ( based on our wine taste interest ) and kept us on track , so we make it on time for all our appointments! Sean was super nice , punctual and very helpful ! From the very first minute till the very end , our trip with him hit all the points ! He even took us to the restaurant we booked for dinner that evening, so we don't have to waste time and money for an Uber . How sweet is that ?! Overall , we were very happy with our choice to use Destination Drivers and would recommend it in a heart beat! read more

We had a wonderful time enjoying wineries in the area. Riley was prompt, courteous, and so much fun. We went to four wineries and were able to fully enjoy them without a concern of being unsafe on the roads. The planning was easy thanks to the suggestions provided. We'll use them over and over again when we're in the area! read more

I've used Destination Drivers in Paso Robles and just recently in Santa Ynez. They provide an excellent service! We had Sean as our driver in Santa Ynez, he was very patient with us as we were a little late in meeting up with him. He assisted us in loading and unloading our car for our winery stop too! The booking process is also excellent and Sean contacted early in the morning to touch base so you always feel that there is personal touch. I recommend Destination Drivers to anyone! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Sean, who drove us from Santa Barbara to Los Olivos, and to other wineries. He was the perfect driver. He also arranged a last minute drive to LA for my husband. Great service! Debbie read more

Sean was an excellent driver! We had planned the wineries we wanted to go to but he was willing and able to suggest other wineries we hadn't thought about. He was also so helpful with lunch recommendations between wineries and went to grab our food while we were tasting! Highly recommend Sean and Destination Drivers! read more

Sean, Richard, and Destination Drivers exceeded expectations.  We have done a lot of wine tasting in Napa and Paso Robles and always used a tour or service so someone in our group didn't need to be a designated driver for the day.  Due to Covid, we decided we didn't want a tour or large group so we looked for a private driver.  We found Destination Drivers and they were exactly what we were looking for and since there were three of us, it was less expensive than many of other packaged tours. Sean handled the reservation and was willing to do as much or as little planning as we wanted.  Since we weren't as familiar to wineries in the Solvang area, we asked Sean to make some recommendations and we would go from there.  Sean asked what we liked and made some suggestions and then the reservations for us.  As we talked to friends who are more familiar with Santa Ynez area, they suggested wineries that Sean had already booked for us (We took this as a good sign)  Sean booked 4 wineries for us with tasting between 60 - 90 minutes. We were then introduced via email to our driver Richard who was great.  A couple days ahead of the trip, he asked us about lunch plans and provided a couple suggestions and offered to pick it up for us between the first and second tasting so we could have with the second tasting at Grassini by the pond.  We took his suggestion and selected Lucky Hen Larder for lunch and the Antipasto and Turkey sandwiches were fantastic. Richard arrived exactly on time and was the start of a great day.  As we proceeded with the tastings, we were a little ahead of schedule so discussed adding a 5th winery.   It meant adjusting the reservations at the other wineries but while we were tasting at the third vineyard, Richard was working the phones and contacted the 5th winery to make sure they could accommodate us and adjusted our reservation for the 4th tasting.  When all was taken care of, he simply texted me to confirm.  Fantastic service - keep it up. We will definitely use Destination Drivers again.  We had complete control over our schedule and could add in a 5th winery with no real effort (Thanks again Richard).  We liked all the wineries that Sean suggested.  Richard was a very safe driver.  Richard dropped us off at the entrance to each winery and as soon as he saw us come out the door, he would bring the car up to us.  Our car was left in the exact same condition as when we started. read more

We booked destination drivers for a weekend and I recommend this business highly to anyone looking for a driver for wine tasting days in Santa Barbara, Santa Yenez area. After booking, someone from DD called to confirm my reservation and what activities did I have planned already or did I need help to create an itinerary. I had a few wineries booked but, we are not familiar with region, so yes we wanted recommendations. Our driver, Richard, texted me a few days before our appointment to let me know he would be our driver and was so helpful with planning our day of wineries and lunch. He let us know which wineries needed reservations and which ones had the best food, and the best ones to just stop along our way if time permitted. everybody in our group was very pleased with our day and Richard was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and we will definitely book DD on our next visit. read more

We loved Destination Drivers. We highly recommend. Sean helped plan our whole trip and was amazing during the day. He was totally flexible with time and recommendations. This is a great private tour at half the price and is far less stressful and safer than driving yourself. read more

Such a great service! Very friendly, helpful and professional. Sean was wonderful and our group of four didn't have to worry about a thing in terms of transportation from one winery to the next. Highly recommend and would definitely use Destination Drivers again. read more

Destination Drivers was suggested to us by our cute hotel in Solvang as a great option for our Santa Barbara wine country tour. What a brilliant concept for anyone who has their own transportation or rental. Sean, our driver showed up at our hotel with waters and ready to Chauffeur us using our rental car to every winery. He waited at each winery, giving us a gentle reminder when we should start to wrap up to make it to the next stop. Even driving us to our last winery a little late, pushing to make the last pour! Also, he made a few suggestions of wineries to try, which we did! We will definitely use Destination Drivers again... the best part? They are expanding and will be in Texas Wine Country soon! Thanks for taking the worries out driving and letting our entire group enjoy the day with ease. We made eternal memories! read more

We absolutely loved our driver Suzanne! She went above and beyond. She set our itinerary but was also flexible when we needed to switch things around as we had a baby and two dogs with us! She dealt with all the chaos so well. She even walked the dogs for us and brought treats for them! She also brought waters and offered to stay in the car when our baby was asleep. She was just phenomenal. We would absolutely use this service again! read more

Destination Drivers - Andrew Murray Winery. Excellent wine - Wine Tours Near Me

Destination Drivers have taken care of my groups on two occasions. Our 2 drivers were awesome in Paso Robles, taking us to three wineries. They brought water and ensured we hydrated! And our driver for the Foxen Trail was terrific too. He took great photos & carried our picnic baskets. Such a relief : -). A designated driver allows you to enjoy the Wineries & engage your guests, even if you aren't drinking much. And if you are downing Cab after Cab, $500 for Sean & his drivers is far less than a $5000.00 Fine for driving under the influence. I recommend this outfit. Highly. read more

Sean provided the ultimate wine tasting experience. He helped select the perfect small, boutique wineries, recommended and picked up lunch, and was enjoyable to be with for 6 hours. We couldn't be happier. read more

Sean was a great help in planning an itinerary that included 3 great local wineries. I tried doing it on my own, but it took a lot of time without knowing the local area, driving distances, or good winery choices that weren't necessarily well-known. Communicating was prompt and efficient, and being able to be picked up and dropped off at our Airbnb was a plus. read more

A driver is an absolute must for any wine tasting outing when driving is involved. Destination Drivers are the best. You're in the comfort of your own car.

We used Destination Drivers for the first time this weekend 3/18/23 and we will use every time we visit Santa Ynez. They drive your car for you! They also will make reservations for you based on your preferences. Richard our driver met and picked us up right on time from our hotel. Richard was outstanding. He drove everywhere my girlfriend and I wanted to visit. He was very helpful with local knowledge and drove very safe. He also checked on us a few times in the winery to make sure everything was ok. The price is very reasonable and worth it. We highly recommend Destination Drivers and will use their service next time we're in town. Wish we could give more than a five star rating! read more

I hired Destination Drivers to take us through the wineries and they were amazing. First, they asked us what kind of wines we preferred and then planned the trip for us.

They also provided the links for reservations and Sean was a total pleasure to be around. It was completely first class. read more
