Traveller reviews
A truly top-tier wine touring experience. Our guide was Carlos Mascherin. He brought unmatched regional knowledge, wine expertise, and genuine charm to the day. We instantly felt like we would be friends who would go to dinner with Carlos! The selected wineries were stunning, and the lunch was both delicious and sophisticated. Five stars!
I had such a great time on the Sustainable Wine Tour. Karina was an amazing guide with great energy, a lot of wine knowledge, and a really thoughtful approach to the whole experience. She chose a great range of wines for us to try and also put together such a good charcuterie board, which made the tasting feel even more special. The day felt relaxed, informative, and genuinely fun without ever feeling overly formal. I also really appreciated learning more about the local Santa Barbara wine scene and the producers we visited. Definitely something I would recommend to friends and family, and I’d happily do it again.
Carlos took great care of us and we had an amazing time. Everything was well planned. The pacing was perfect. We enjoyed our lunch and loved our tastings. And Carlos is friendly and very knowledgeable and a fun person to spend time with. Thank you!!
Everything was top-notch. The luxury van was comfortable for traveling. The snacks and lunch were delicious. And the tours themselves were so personable and exclusive. It was so special to know where the wine was made and who was making it and the family stories behind them all. Scott was a wonderful guide. This is forever the tour I will measure all other tours against.
10/10 recommend this private and curated wine tasting experience! If you want a luxurious day being pampered while being hosted by wine makers this is the BEST! I have been on countless wine tours and this is without a single doubt the most memorable. The wine tasting experience was tailored to your preferences and having the day be a surprise is very exciting. The hospitality, wine, company and comfortable transportation can’t be beat!
Sustainable Wine Tours was the best experience!! So informative, educational and most of all fun. Carlos was a great tour guide and such a courteous host would definitely recommend Sustainable Wine Tour and Carlos five out of five stars.
What a great experience with Carlos. He was so educational and fun. We officially adopted him into our “Girls Wine Trip.” Sustainable Wine Tours is excellent and the “Kansas” girls recommend!
Booking this trip took all the work out of wine touring. Their expertise and experience helped us build an amazing itinerary. The exclusive, off-the-beaten-path locations offered tasting experiences that were delicious, refined, and personal. We were greeted by knowledgeable hosts at each site who shared insider stories while pouring beautiful expressions of the Santa Barbara wine region. It is unlikely we would have found these gems on our own. Being driven from location to location by Carlos, a true wine ambassador, added to our experience. It was delightful to leave all the details of the day in such expert hands. Wouldn't do it any other way.
