YOUR WINE TOUR ADVENTURE STARTS HERE
Looking to swirl, sip, and stay in style? Welcome to the land of surf-meets-syrah, where Santa Barbara wine tasting tours and hotel packages give you the ultimate wine country escape without the stress of DIY trip planning. With Grapeline as your guide, you get curated vineyard experiences paired with top-notch accommodations. Think of it as the wine lover's version of a choose-your-own-adventure book—but with more Pinot and fewer plot twists.
Santa Barbara’s wine scene is as diverse as the terrain itself. From coastal views to rolling vineyard hills, the region is home to over 200 wineries and tasting rooms nestled across the Santa Ynez Valley , Los Olivos , Solvang , and more. It’s not just wine country—it’s Barbara wine country, and it brings the flavor in every sense of the word. Here, cool ocean breezes help craft elegant Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, while inland sunshine gives body and boldness to Syrahs and Cabs. And when your glass is empty? There’s always another charming village, boutique hotel, or hillside view waiting.
