Santa Barbara Cupcake and Wine Tour
You will be picked up from your Santa Barbara accommodation in the morning. Board a climate-controlled vehicle for the Santa Ynez Valley and get a preview of the day from your guide. On arrival, enjoy wine tasting at some of the area's top wineries, including a venue where your wine is paired with delectable cupcake tastings.
The full-day tour also features a sampling flight of cupcakes from Enjoy Cupcakes, a unique bakery in Los Olivos. Compare flavors like pomegranate-mango chardonnay and chocolate-blackberry syrah.
After you're served a picnic lunch in the shade at a favorite winery, gain insight into specific blends and selections from the winery staff. Each establishment offers vintages and award-winning selections, and several wineries extend discounts on wine purchases.
