Thanks to Lisa Stoll from Explore Wine Tours, we had an amazing time learning about & tasting wine from the lovely Santa Inez region north of Santa Barbara. I had no idea that there were over 200 wineries there or that so many varieties of grapes can be grown there because of the many microclimates. See how much she taught me. Lisa talked to us before our trip & chose 3 wineries according to our preferences. She also arranged a delicious lunch. She picked us up in Ventura and drove us on a beautiful drive to the wineries. Everything was Delicious! We bought wine. We joined wine clubs. When we return, we will be calling Lisa.

Lisa's wine knowledge is truly impressive! The three wineries we visited were amazing. Each one offered a unique experience. Lisa's passion and expertise made the tastings unforgettable. From learning about processing at the first winery to the beautiful setting of second one, and the hidden gem of the third, every moment was delightful. Can't wait for our next wine adventure!

We had a most wonderful experience with very knowledgeable sommelier owner Lisa. Her attention to detail and presentation of lunch picnic and delicious birthday cake was deeply appreciated. She is very friendly and kindhearted. This was my second time with her and I will book another tour with her when opportunity presents.

Lisa was a fantastic guide for our Santa Barbara wine tour. She picked three amazing wineries for us to visit that we never would have found on our own, each with a unique experience. She customized the day according to our interests and wine preferences. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the history of wine. She was not at all pretentious and was very kind and friendly. The door to door transportation in her very comfortable van was great as well. She also provided a delicious lunch in a gorgeous setting. We will remember this experience for a very long time and would highly recommend her tour to any group looking for a fun, educational and very memorable day!

The tour was fantastic. Lisa was amazing and everything about our experience was great. Having done other wine tours before, we did not know what to expect but it was a great day and we could not recommend Lisa enough.
