About this tour
Trade the coast for vineyard-covered hills on a Santa Barbara e-bike wine tour through the Santa Ynez Valley. With a guide leading the way and round-trip transport from town, you can focus on the scenery, small-town stops, and local flavors.
After a bike orientation, pedal through wine country with views of rolling hills and estate vineyards. Along the route, stop at a lavender farm, a miniature horse farm, and a quaint Danish village. The ride ends at an olive orchard, where you can sample local olive oils and aged balsamics. Then settle in for a gourmet picnic lunch at a winery, paired with a flight of five wines, before visiting a second estate for another five-wine flight.
This Santa Barbara e-bike wine tour brings together an active morning and a relaxed afternoon of tastings, with an expert guide, bike, helmet, lunch, and transportation included. Meet at the Peppertree Inn on State Street, or arrange to meet in wine country. Book your ride for a fresh-air day among the vineyards.

How the score works and rating distribution in Santa Barbara
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.8. Top 12% in Santa Barbara means it ranks in the top 12% of tours in Santa Barbara by this score.
