Producing more wine than any other U.S. State, California is a common destination for wine tourists and tasting venues. A great alternative to getting a designated driver for your tasting experience could be a reserving Santa Barbara limo and our luxury transportation to be chauffeured in style to and from various tasting venues. Although Northern California with its world-famous Napa- and Sonoma Valleys might be the first destination that comes to mind for many considering tasting exploring in California.
But do you really have to leave the Los Angeles area? Some of the most unspoiled and scenic vineyards are in fact found in Southern California. Besides great tasting venues in the Malibu Canyons and Temecula Valley, the S.B. region has become an emerging destination in recent times. Our S.B.- and Ventura limousine service has offered customized, award-winning Santa Barbara wine tour options for more than twenty years. The wineries and vineyards of our gorgeous county offer a genuine tasting-tour location, with far fewer tourists, traffic, and crowds, compared to its counterparts in for example Northern California’s Napa Valley. For more information about our Santa Barbara wine tour offers, keep reading and we will expand on a few of our best-selling tours.
Vineyard tours
Firstly, no article on this region is complete without a significant portion of the gorgeous Santa Ynez Valley. Located in the heart of the county, it has become one of the world’s most famous grape regions. The more than 2,200 acres of vineyards found here is surrounded by oak trees, green hills and some of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the state. Maybe particularly after the movie Sideways was released in 2004, the interest in our tours has exploded, maybe, particularly for our Santa Barbara limo services but also for clients using our Ventura limousine service.
Maybe mostly known for its great Pinot Noir, this particular valley has made more award-winning wines than any other place in Southern California. Fun small towns such as Los Olivos have a charming appeal with numerous wineries, boutiques, and smaller cafes. The wineries here range from cozy tasting rooms in historic buildings to rather spacious buildings surrounded by green vineyards. And maybe best of all, taking a luxurious tour through the vineyards lets you sit back, relax, and sample, all while taking in the beauty of the greenery and grapes without worrying about driving. Having been the top-rated Agoura Hills sedan and transportation company now for more than twenty years, we are happy to provide a price-match-guarantee on all tasting tours, so you can be sure you not only ride with the best service but also for the lowest price available.
Besides our Santa Ynez tasting tours, another popular tasting destination is the Santa Maria Valley. These 7,500 acres of vineyards are among the oldest wine regions in the state. The region is maybe particularly known for its great Chardonnay and Pinot Noirs, but there are now more than twenty wine varietals grown in the valley, which makes it an easy task to find a great wine. The Santa Maria Valley, being rather larger and more spread out than the Santa Ynez Valley, offers tons of selections in all types of wineries and vineyards.
Certain venues here – such as the Star Lane Winery, Pali Wine Company, and Flying Goat Cellars – are located less than twenty minutes from the valley in the small town of Lompoc. These tasting venues can therefore easily be visited on a trip here. Because of this region’s great selections and numerous choices for some amazing tasting experiences, a great initial source could be visiting http://www.santamariawines.com which may be helpful in picking what tasting venues to visit.

To find your ideal destination you may want to think about the following. Would you prefer a tasting room within walking distance from others? Or would you rather visit a winery surrounded by vineyards in a more remote location? Would you like it to be a dining option? Is a large selection of varietals important?
