Coastal Concierge

We booked a tour with them three weeks before our scheduled wine tour. They called us three days before to say they were sorry but they had overbooked and could not accommodate us after all. Such a bummer. I’m sure they probably give a great tour if you actually get to go with them. Good luck when booking these people… you might want to have a back up plan in place just in case. We did NOT have a back up plan and now we will not be wine tasting in Santa Barbara since all the tours are now booked. Thanks a lot SB Coastal Concierge. Severely disappointed.

We decided last minute on a «weekend getaway» to Santa Barbara. We live in LA and ironically, neither of us had ever been to Santa Barbara. Having always heard about the wine tasting in the area, decided to book a tour for one of our two days there. After reading some reviews on various places, decided to go with Coastal Concierge. I am so glad that we made this choice. First of all, I can not say enough good things about our driver, Derek. He was simply amazing and catered to our every need. Also, just a wealth of knowledge. We spent the entire afternoon riding around to various wineries, none of which were crowded, but all amazing. Derek allowed us to go at our own pace which was really nice. Never felt rushed at all. We lost all track of time and before we knew it, it was time to head back. Not before, we enjoyed three amazing wineries and received an awesome picnic lunch that Derek set up for us. I recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a fun relaxing, no worries kind of day. And if you are lucky enough to get Derek as your concierge/driver…you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back for more :-)

Very very good. Our driver, Ryan, was knowledgeable of both the area and the wine. Took us to three different wineries and was very detailed in the description of the differences in the wineries and what we were seeing and drinking. Lunch was great wine was good. Unfortunately at the end we suffered palette fatigue from this, only so many wines one can taste in one day. Very enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone

Very fun day! Derek was an awesome guide! He knew a lot about the different wineries, and he was very good. Lunch was fantastic! I highly recommend doing one of these tours… they’re good for any occasion! And I recommend Derek for sure.

My husband surprised me with a trip to Santa Barbara for my birthday, a place very special to us and one we visit as often as possible. We always try and do wine tasting while in Santa Barbara and have used a variety of other tour companies. Without question Coastal Concierge is the single best tour company either of us have ever used, not just in Santa Barbara but in Napa, Oregon, and New York. Derek, studying to be a master Som, was incredibly knowledgable, a fantastic teacher, very, very funny and maintained the perfect mix of service and letting my husband and I have time together. The food was incredible, the vineyards he chose were unique and incredible. He tailored it to our likes and preferences and we ended up going to three different AVA’s and buying half a case of the fabulous wines we tasted. If you are looking to have the best possible experience wine tasting in Santa Barbara you must book these guys. Ask for Derek.

My best friend was in need for a relaxing bachelorette weekend and Coastal Concierge provided just that.
To start off, they provide you with door to door service wine tours. This is amazing when you are drinking and don’t know exactly where you are going. Second, we had 8 girls and they had a van big enough for us all.
The driver was very nice and knowledgeable about the wine and region. He doubled as our photographer for the day and he did a great job!
We went to 3 different wineries. The first was Dierburg Star Lane. This winery is in a barn and we were enjoying sitting out on the patio in the sun. The second was Foley, my favorite. This is where we had out gourmet lunch. One of our girls has celiacs disease and is also a vegetarian and they brought her her own Salmon and quinoa salad. For everyone else we had pasta salad, chicken strips, salad, bread and yummy cheeses. This lunch was so good! Foley also did our tastings with our lunch and gave us a second round on the one we liked. (Thanks Sniper Dave!)
I highly recommend Coastal if you ever want to take a private wine tour. Such a great deal and great service!

Where do I begin?! Such an amazing experience. Derek was an amazing tour guide. We loved the education about wines, the delicious lunch and his choice of wineries. Thank you Derek for a special day that we will always remember!

Friendly and professional Santa Ynez wine country car service and tour operators. My wife and I have used them twice in the last 3 years when on vacation in Santa Barbara. They will drive you in a nice clean SUV to the wineries you wish to visit or they can suggest tour destinations. Wineries all waive tasting fees for you if you’re with them, and some offer special discounts, too. A gourmet lunch (bread and cheese, cashew chicken skewers, pasta salad, dessert) is also included, which they set up for you at a winery while you’re inside tasting.
