Taste small-production wines, meet boutique wineries, and enjoy an organic lunch on a private Santa Barbara tour for your group.

About this tour

Spend a day among Santa Barbara’s boutique vineyards, tasting small-production wines and hearing the stories behind each pour. This private Santa Barbara wine tour is tailored to your group of 4–8, with a knowledgeable host and a focus on elevated wineries rather than crowded public tasting rooms.

Your experience includes premium wine tastings and fees, bottled water, and an organic lunch of your choice: sandwiches or salads. Most tours also offer a cheese platter. Travel between stops in a Tesla Model X SUV for a group of four or a luxury Mercedes van for five to eight guests, with pickup and drop-off from your location. The tour is locally operated and has been in business since 2007.

Guests must be at least 21. The experience is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, and a moderate level of physical fitness is advised. Bachelor and bachelorette parties are not accommodated. Choose this Santa Barbara private wine tour for a personal, unhurried way to explore boutique wineries and enjoy the region’s wines with your own group.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 72 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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 8.9. Top 10% in Santa Barbara means it ranks in the top 10% of tours in Santa Barbara by this score.
