The best-rated Santa Ynez Valley day in this lineup, and the one most people start with. A small group rides about forty minutes inland over the San Marcos Pass to three wineries, with a picnic lunch packed along and the tasting fees and reservations handled so nobody has to stay sober to drive. Seated tastings are arranged in advance, which is the difference between a relaxed afternoon and a morning spent phoning ahead. The live listing carries the current price for your date.

All-Inclusive Santa Ynez Valley Wine Tour

4.8 230 verified reviews

About 5 hours · Most reviewed

The highest review volume on the whole site, and the all-inclusive way to do the valley: lunch and the tasting fees are folded into one price rather than added at each cellar door. A full Santa Ynez Valley day with a local guide driving, so the reservations and the designated-driver problem both stop being yours. It is the broad, well-drilled version of the valley day rather than a niche one. The live listing shows the current price and exactly what the single fee covers.

Santa Ynez: Wine Country Tour

6 to 8 hours · Firm price

A guided Santa Ynez Valley day from a long-running Santa Barbara operator, with a firm published price rather than one you only see at checkout. The day runs small wineries across the valley with a guide driving the whole route, roughly six to eight hours door to door. This is the same company behind the shared shuttle and the private tour on this page, here as the standard small-group day. From $239 per person.

Solvang Valley Small-Group Wine Tour

4.8 145 verified reviews

About 5 hours · Value pick

A small-group Solvang and Santa Ynez Valley day with lunch and the tastings built into one price, well reviewed and pitched on value. It works from the valley itself rather than shuttling up from the coast, so it suits anyone already staying in Solvang or the wine country. A relaxed pace across a handful of rooms with the driving handled. The live listing carries the current price for your date.
