A magical way to spend the day!
We had such an amazing day with William! All of our equipment was top notch and the bike ride, lunch under the oak trees, and wine tasting were absolutely lovely. William was a wonderful guide and taught us so much about the local vinyards, wines, and wineries. It was a perfect day and we would love to do it again sometime.

Lovely tour of small production wineries
I had a great time on this trip. I've been on a lot of wine tours (in other regions), and I really liked that Sustainable Wine Tours focuses on smaller producers. We went to 3 spots and each spot had a different vibe which added variety to the experience. The wines were all lovely and came at a range of price points. Our driver and guide Carlos was super friendly and knowledgeable about both the wine and the Santa Barbara area, even providing a curated list of restaurant recs! I'll definitely recommend this tour to any friends visiting the area.

A fun way to learn about a place.
Had a great in depth orientation to downtown Santa Barbara while enjoying a variety of tasty dishes as well as wine and margs. Our guide “Captain” Kirk was extremely knowledgeable as well as entertaining. Definitely didn’t need dinner that evening. We weren’t notified about the location of where the tour was to commence. Had to get on the app and inquire.

Santa Barbara Vineyard to Table Taste Tour by E-Bike
Mary_S, Sep 2026
So much fun!
We enjoyed our trip with William! Lovely bike tour - great bikes that handled the terrain well. Well run. After the tour (maybe 16 miles??) we started off our return with an olive oil tasting. So good - we all bought something to take home! We enjoyed the amazing lunch William made with 3 different wines. Afterwards we headed off to a winery for another tasting flight. Would say this wasn't the best wine in our opinion - (we had just come from Paso Robles and the wine there was outstanding in comparison) - but still overall it was a great experience. Totally recommend doing this for the experience - even though the last tasting wasn't the best!

Wonderful walking food tour in the Funk Zone
Hannah and Mallory were great! We went to 5 different stops tasting octopus ceviche, schnitzel poutine, chicken street tacos, pizza, and ice cream. The last stop was supposed to be a wine tasting, but we opted out of that one and Hannah and Mallory decided to stop and buy us gourmet popcorn to make up for the 6th stop. The weather was perfect, the food was great! Thanks Hannah and Mallory for a really nice afternoon.

Exceptional Wine Tour!
Don't hesitate to book this wine tour! My husband and I were in Santa Barbara to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and the Rooted Vine Wine Tour was a highlight of our trip. The transportation was top-notch from the pick-up at our AirBnb, to the comfortable and safe vehicle, to the informative and friendly guide (Uni is truly the best!). They set us up with a carefully packed box filled with the wine we purchased for our flight home (which Santa Barbara Airport does not charge for, by the way!). We enjoyed all three stops on our trip and the included lunch was delicious. Highly recommend!!
