Scott promptly picked us up at our hotel in the immaculate Mercedes Van that accommodated all 8 of us comfortably. We had private tours at 3 exclusive wineries. The discussions with every winemaker were unique and the histories behind the wines were so interesting! We enjoyed a gourmet cheese board and delicious lunch under the oak trees. Scott is an incredible guy-so professional and knowledgeable about the area! We were all impressed and I can’t wait to schedule another tour!
– TripAdvisorQuick review of our experience with Sustainable Vines.......it was exceptional. Scott was our guide and driver. Excellent selection of wineries, fun and relaxed environment, high quality transportation. Scott made an already awesome experience even better with this knowledge, attention to detail and enthusiasm for his trade. Would give it a two thumbs up without hesitation. If we ever head back to SB, this experience will be at the top of our list once again!
– TripAdvisorI have been on numerous other tours and this one takes the cake! The comfortable, private ride sets the tone for the day! We went to three unique, beautiful properties and got to experience amazing wines with the actual wine makers! Private tasting in wine makers own home! Driven around a vineyard and property with the manager! Never once stepped foot in a typical crowded tasting room to be poured another mediocre “red.”
– TripAdvisorIf you want to get a much deeper dive into all things Santa Barbara wine...DO THIS TOUR! Scott is an amazing tour guide, facilitator, and wine enthusiast who took our small group (each person a perfect balance of eager to learn + have a good time) to meet and taste with three renowned winemakers in the area, including Ballard Canyon. All private, exclusive experiences.
– TripAdvisorHow often do you have an opportunity to taste wine with a wine owner at his home, walk a vineyard with the vineyard owner as he speaks about the geology of the area and taste his wines while seated in his barn, enjoy a delicious personalized lunch and finish the tour at a local wine processing facility hosted by one of the owners? Probably never. However Scott Bull of Sustainable Vine Wine Tours put this amazing customized tour package together for us.
