An absolute must!! - My husband and I had a fabulous experience on our tour with William. We had a weekend getaway to Solvang and were looking for bikes and wineries…this tour had it all! A magical ride through the vineyards with a yummy farm to table lunch ending with a wine and olive oil tasting will forever be a special experience. Highly recommend!!

The perfect way to explore the Santa Ynez Valley - The views and smells were amazing. We past so many estates and wineries and many had flowers planted along fence line so when you rode by you would get various scents. The air was so fresh and you just don't capture that part when driving by in a car. After our 16 mile ride, we visited two wineries and had a lovely lunch at one as well. My husband and I both really enjoyed this tour!

A perfect outing - Our Santa Barbara bike and wine tour with William was a delightful experience! William's extensive knowledge of both the region's wines and history shone through, making the ride informative and engaging. The breathtaking views from the bikes were the perfect backdrop for our wine tastings, and the quality of the e-bikes themselves made the ride effortless and enjoyable. William's patience with our group was commendable, and we all appreciated the unique stops like the olive oil tasting, lavender farm, and charming Danish town. If you're looking for a scenic, informative, and delicious way to explore Santa Barbara, I highly recommend this tour with William!
