The journey, in full
Your group will be picked up by an air-conditioned van in the morning at a prearranged meeting spot, generally between 9:30am and 10:30am, depending on where you are staying. We will preview the day and head up to our first winery in the Santa Ynez Valley. We will visit three wineries, spending 60-90 minutes at each. Lunch will be available for purchase at the second winery stop, either via the winery's kitchen, or a nearby restaurant. We are usually done by 4pm, heading back to town with drop-off in Santa Barbara generally between 4:30 and 5:30pm depending on where you are staying.
