We had a great time with Shawn. We went to two wineries in Santa Inez valley and a bonus tasting…read moreroom in Carpenteria. All were great. Shawn was more than just transportation as he shared great stories and information about the places we went and the wines we tried, and gave us tips to get the most out of our day. The included lunch and snacks were a perfect pairing for the day, and Shawn's reputation garnered VIP treatment at the places we went.

At 1am that morning I received a text that he was hospitalized & understandably he wasn't going to be able to give the tour. That's when the long process to our refund began. We incrementally received our money and it took a total of one month. This is unacceptable and unprofessional regardless of the reason.

My friends and I used LB Transportation for wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley. Thanks to Cesar…read morewe had really great day of wine tasting without anyone having to drive. We were 4 couples and did not want do a wine tour because we had specific wineries we wanted to go to and wanted to be on our own schedule. Cesar was very accommodating and worked around our schedule. He was on time, very professional, and had very competitive rates. He is also very knowledgeable about the wineries in the Santa Ynez Valley and had some great suggestions. The van we were in was clean and comfortable for the 8 of us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! I won't use anyone else for my wine tasting transportation.

We flew to LAX for the Tournament of Roses. Our tour provider, Roads Scholar, suggested Silverwing…read more When we arrived we went to the designated pickup area, texted the driver to tell where we were, he texted back two thumbs up. We waited until the anticipated time and watched a Silverwing bus drive right by us. We call them and they said if we hurried we could catch the bus at the next terminal! I'm 76, my wife is 72, and we had our luggage. My wife did manage to get to the next terminal. The driver's excuse was "it just slipped my mind." Just about the worst customer service we have ever had. I would not recommend Silverwing to anyone.

My family and I had an outstanding wine country experience with Lisa from Explore Wine Tour…read more Setting up the tour was easy as I dealt directly with Lisa who was most accommodating of my thoughts about the wineries to visit. Once the booking was made, she sent a lunch menu for us to make our selections. She picked us up promptly from our hotel and drove us to the Santa Ynez valley while giving us a quick history of the region and how it came to be a wine growing area. She picked three wineries for the tour, each of which was enjoyable in a somewhat different way. Lisa pretty much nailed what I had told her about our taste preferences. Lisa brought along lunch (per our choices) and laid out the table while we sampled the wines. She entertained us with stories about the wineries, how they were founded, what types of wines were each winery's strengths, etc. All in all it was a most enjoyable day and we have Lisa to thank for it. The tour is reasonably priced and includes the tasting fees, lunch, and transportation.

Amazing experience with a knowledgeable, award-winning sommelier Lisa…read more It was my friend's birthday and we did a tour for four. Lisa was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and fun. Our friend left her sunglasses at one of our stops. Lisa called until she found them and then brought them to us right away Lisa even took our group's pictures all day and sent us a digital album with all the pictures she had taken I would absolutely recommend Explore Wines Tour to anyone looking for the perfect comfortable and safe wine day.

Once we booked, we were connected with Lindsay, who was incredibly responsive and always easy to reach. She answered every follow up question and made deposits and payments simple and stress free. It truly felt like we were working with people who love what they do and care about the Santa Barbara community. We even got to choose custom wording for our buses before and after the ceremony, which added such a fun and personal touch. On the wedding day, the drivers were friendly, upbeat, and so accommodating. They let us play whatever music we wanted and made sure all of our guests felt comfortable. I had also used Jump on the Bus for a bachelorette party and had the exact same smooth and enjoyable experience, which says so much about their consistency. I cannot recommend this company enough. Whether you are a future bride or someone planning an event, this is the team you want.

Tasting: $15 (return flight $9, because sometimes one flight is not enough)…read more Wonderful wines and awesome customer service sum up what this family owned/operated winery is all about. Two sisters (Elissa & Holly) married two brothers (Matt & Mike) and started this weekend project which has turned into quite a fun weekend escape. Elissa and her father, Walt, are usually manning the tasting room and are the most gracious hosts. It's a quaint, boutique winery and tasting room, which recently joined forces with the folks from Trois le Fou Winery. They each have their own tasting rooms, but they're joined and share a large production/barrel room area, which is also available for private events in addition to scheduled events and live music/comedy. They don't offer food, but you are welcome to bring in your own snacks/charcuterie. Parking is plentiful, as the business park is mostly closed on the weekends. WINES: Their wines change regularly, as they purchase their fruit from Paso Robles, Lodi, and San Antonio Valley, among other places. I think that their Sauvignon Blanc is a standard and we really enjoy it, but they also do a nice Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Malbec, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Their "Speakeasy Wine Club" offers three levels of membership: "Blind Grape (6/yr)", "Bootlegger (12/yr)", and "Last Call (18/yr)", depending on the number of bottles you want per shipment/pick-up. Bottles currently run in the $38 - $50 range (before club member discounts). We love visiting the Lester Cellars family and highly recommend you stop in and check out their latest vintages. The service and wine are wonderful, and I'm betting you'll enjoy yourself as much as we do.
