From the very beginning, Eric, the owner, was such a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly accommodating and flexible, especially since our Airbnb was located in a more mountainous area of Santa Barbara. Our driver, Tom, was absolutely fantastic. He was a great driver, extremely knowledgeable about the area and wineries, and shared so much interesting information throughout the day. Another great perk was that lunch was included, which made the day even more enjoyable and convenient. A great little unexpected touch was a stop at a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar stand between wineries. It was such a nice addition to the day and made the tour feel even more personalized. If you're looking for a stress free wine tour with wonderful communication, I highly recommend looking into Stagecoach Wine Tours. The pricing is great and it was truly an amazing experience. Will definitely be booking with them the next time I am in Santa Barbara/surrounding areas!

If you're thinking about booking a tour, this is the one to go with. Top-notch service, great people, and an unforgettable day!

The place has concerts in the weekends, and probably is packed then. We ended up buying a rose wine, but also coffee and tea, as he sells that as well. The winter tea had a terrific scent, and I am looking forward to drinking it. Will recommend to my LA friends and surely come back when in the area. The quality of the wine is excellent and the prices reasonable. Win win for the customer.

So it's been about a year since I left a review for this place, and I felt a little bit more…read morecompelled to leave another one for two specific reasons Veronica, and Adriana Those two women are two reasons why my wife and I love coming back here. The wine is good and there's a lot of competition and so it's not like if you want somewhere else you wouldn't get good wine. Good wine isn't always going to be the reason why you come back, it's their service!! These two women always have a smile, they are joyous Adriana has this eccentric laugh. That is just absolutely amazing and she is one of the most kind individuals. Veronica is absolutely sweet, she's super helpful, super knowledgeable and very giving and kind(I can say this about both of them to be honest) This weekend we came and that SHINE a bit more. I just wanna say that these two women are absolutely the definition of wonderful customer service, they are the ones that make me want to go into my pocket and give my hard earned money to them for their great service. They earned their tip! When we come back, they will be requested.

Every wine we tried was excellent, but my personal favorite was the Olallieberry wine, the perfect balance of sweetness with just a little tartness. This wasn't just a wine tasting, it was an experience. Great atmosphere, great wine, and even better company. Definitely a 5-star stop and a place we'll be talking about for a long time.

My family has been members at Sanford for almost 25 years, so this review is long, long overdue…read more It's hard to put into words just how important Sanford has been to our family over the years. We've celebrated almost every major milestone here, and it has always felt like a second home. Watching the winery evolve while staying true to its roots has been incredible. One of the things we always loved about Sanford was the winemaking style under Steve Fennell. When Trey Fletcher took over, I'll admit we were a little hesitant. It's hard to see change at a place that means so much to you. But wow, Trey has absolutely won us over. The wines have evolved, but they still capture everything that makes Sta. Rita Hills special. There's a clear Burgundy influence, with thoughtful whole-cluster use that adds complexity and structure, but the wines never lose their sense of place. They still showcase the vibrant fruit, acidity, and character of the region while maintaining the backbone to age beautifully. Of course, great wine is only part of the story. The hospitality team has always been fantastic, and every visit feels warm and welcoming. Whether you've been coming for decades like we have or it's your first visit, Sanford has a way of making you feel at home. There are plenty of great wineries in the Sta. Rita Hills, but Sanford will always be the one that means the most to our family. Twenty-five years later, it still feels like home.

We had a reservation with some friends who had their wine back when they were married. As it was a first for all of us, it was very exciting to experience it with them. Mid week which was pretty quiet. Most of the wineries are during the weekdays. The property is off one of the back road from the main highway 246. Once you enter the property, you're greeted with a cute tasting room. Very cozy, a log cabin vibe with the fireplace and plush seating. Main tasting room but as it was beautiful out, we needed the experience outside. First off, Both Neil and Lynn were absolute dolls. They started us off with some crisp bubbly, perfect for the wether. Both were the sweetest and so easy to talk too. It was like we were already friends and popping over for a chat. During our experience, Lynn took over and made sure that we were here for an enjoyment. And let me say, it was AMAZING.... She was the funniest and sweetest person. Laughing and smiling while making sure that each and every tasting was explained and enjoyed. To add to the experience, a charcuterie board was served. The selection of cheese, meats and sides added to the tasting. Can't go wrong with it. Staring off with the reds, let's just say there were none that needed the dump bowl. Everything was so rich, bold and full body and flavorful. One after the other, the wines were excellent. And finishing off, it was the white. Normally you start with whites and work to the reds but their version, it was good. Bottle after bottle was amazing with each pour. The explanation of each was so helpful. Not only the wines but the properties was beautiful. The garden seating area with tables tucked in with the lush garden looking out to the vineyard. Then the wrap around patio with more seating. Also perfect for the chilly weather, the outdoor fireplace. It was beautiful as the leaves were changing to the nice rust and red and glistening from the sun. The whole experience was amazing. Both Neil and Lynn are magician in their work. The service was excellent, wines were outstanding, friendly staff which are like friends chit chatting with each other. It made everything worth it.

Our first time at Folded Hills, and it definitely won't be our last!…read more My husband did the wine tasting, which he absolutely loved, and he ended up buying a few bottles. I was so happy to see that they also had non-alcoholic wine options for me! Tigan was our pourer, and he was incredible! He was so informative, and we loved learning about the owner's story and the stories behind the different wine labels. The property is beautiful! On one side of the road, you'll find the tasting room and a lovely outdoor seating area with picnic tables and corn hole boards. Across the street is the Farmstead, complete with adorable animals, including baby pigs and a miniature Highland cow named Hubba Bubba! Tigan even gave us some food to feed the animals, and they were so cute! It was such a fun experience. Next time, we'll plan to spend more time here and do one of the tours around the farm. It's also very kid-friendly, with experiences for the whole family. 10/10 recommend! We can't wait to come back!
