Many tourists visit the most popular wineries in Santa Barbara by looking at Yelp. They’ll quickly stumble upon the likes of Sunstone Winery, Gainey Vineyard, Fess Parker Winery, Firestone Vineyard etc. and look no further. However, booking with Destination Drivers opens the gate to a knowledgeable concierge who will set you down a path uniquely suited to your preferences, hitting the true gems of the regions countryside where top-quality service and memorable experiences are guaranteed. We love crafting itineraries for our guests, introducing them to wineries they would not have otherwise found – that’s one of the main reasons why our guests keep returning year after year.
Let our Santa Barbara private driver take you on an unforgettable wine tour of Santa Ynez. That’s right – the Santa Barbara Wine Country is truly located in the Santa Ynez valley (approximately 40 minutes north of the city of Santa Barbara) and reaches to Foxen Canyon, Santa Maria, Santa Ynez, Los Olivos, Santa Rita Hills, Happy Canyon, Solvang, Los Alamos, Buellton, the Lompoc Wine Ghetto & beyond.
Where Do We Go? When Do We Start?
Locations and times may be completely up to you, as we do not have special kick-backs with wineries. Rather, we aim to custom-tailor each tour based on your specific preferences and hopes for your experience in the valley. Sometimes guests come ready with their own itineraries, and often they rely upon our expert knowledge, resulting in visits to the true hidden gems the region has to offer!
In general we hit at least one winery to start things off before having lunch at the second, and finish off with one or two more. We can stay with you through your dinner outings, or even be your driver for a night out in the city etc.
