Our tour guide Gaby was the sweetest! She was so informative and took great care of us!! For the cost you pay at $500 per couple I was expecting much more - we were taken to 2 wineries and sat in their tasting areas but it would have been a better experience if the venue also provided a tour on how their wine is made, around the facility etc. The 3rd venue was just a “tasting room” in the Los Olivos area not the actual winery. Which I felt defeated the purpose as that’s something you can do without a tour and spend a full day in the area. Tasting fees average about $25 and if you purchase an x amount of bottles your fee is waived - which we did so technically our tasting fees were covered by our purchase.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the private wine tour with Rooted Vine. They offered the convenience of being picked up and dropped off at our Santa Barbara hotel in a comfortable SUV. Along the gorgeous drive into Santa Ynez Valley, Iaon shared his extensive knowledge of everything from the topography of the area to the winemakers. His passion for wine and the bounty of offerings in this area shone through our entire experience. Iaon crafted the perfect tour for our preferences and curiosity, and truly curated a one-of-a-kind experience for us. On top of all this, he was fun to spend the day with! The winery and vineyards we visited provided personalized, friendly service as well as excellent wine! We appreciated the educational component and touring of the grounds, all of which heightened our appreciation of the wine we were tasting. There are not many tours we would repeat, but this is the exception! We would absolutely do another tour with Iaon and crew, knowing each experience would be unique and memorable.

We were picked up punctually by Sunny who proved to be a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide! She asked frequently if we were comfortable as well as offering water/ Lacroix to drink! Additionally, she stopped at an olive oil farm which was a bonus. All in all, she made our day perfect! We will definitely take this tour again if we return to the area! Thanks so much!

We had never been to Santa Barbara before and did not know much about the Santa Barbara Wine Country or wines from this region. This tour was a fabulous learning experience about Santa Barbara wines. We visited three very different wineries with wonderful attention and tastings at each location. Overall, we highly recommend taking this tour.

Outstanding and memorable experience! Iaon planned two days of private guided wine tastings for us and we couldn't have been happier and more satisfied. Everything was done to perfection. We visited a total of six wineries and each was different and excellent in their own way. Our tour guide Eyton was really fun to be with and easy to talk to. He went above and beyond to be helpful, by getting us our picnic lunches both days, carrying our cases of wine, and transferring them to our car at the hotel! He even took us to an olive oil tasting because we had extra time. We would not have had access to many of those wineries and wouldn't have been able to find them without Eyton. It was a fantastic, memorable way to celebrate our 24th anniversary. Worth every penny, and we'll definitely use them again the next time we're in the area.

Wow! What a fantastic tour.
The locations we went to were absolutely beautiful and had extremely friendly tasting room staff. I was glad to see that COVID-19 precautions were taken and happy that we were able to sit and taste outside.
Lunch was great, a lot of options so it might be helpful to take a look at them before the tour.
The private tour was defiantly worth it!

We went on a private tour for six people and had a fantastic time. The tour that the owner Iaon created showcased great wines, beautiful locations and very friendly people. But more than that, it also gave us an excellent insight into both the winemaking process and the winemaking industry in the Central Coast. It was a great day for everyone on the tour; and whether you're a wine enthusiast or just someone who just likes opening a bottle with friends, I'm confident you'll have a great time.

We had an awesome time! The tour was well worth the cost. Lunch was super good. Every stop we went on we got extra pours/tastings. We got to do an extra little stop for olive oil tasting! Having the wine tour curate stops was perfect as an out of town visitor not being super familiar with the region. We also loved the tasting room in Los olivios, it was a major highlight. Highly recommend!
