Welcome to The Wine Line!

California’s only “Hop on, Hop off” wine touring service. Tour Paso Robles or Santa Barbara wine country in our air-conditioned and environmentally responsible chauffeured vans. We pick you up, we drop you off… all that you have to do is enjoy yourself!

EXPERIENCE THE NEWEST CONCEPT IN WINE TASTING!
SEE WHY PEOPLE ARE CALLING THIS THE BEST WINE TASTING TOUR OPTION!

Starting at only $79.95* per person you get shuttled to your choice of approximately 30 premiere Santa Barbara wineries. No other service gives you the freedom and flexibility to taste at your own pace and choose where you want to go.

What’s different? We are a door to door, “Hop On, Hop Off” shuttle service. We let you set your pace and create your own itinerary. Our climate controlled, BioDiesel vans pick you up at your accommodations and start you on our routes that circle in a loop to visit all of the wineries. You can “hop on and hop off” at whichever wineries you want and we’ll be back to pick you up in approximately 40 minutes.

Pick ups are generally scheduled between 10:30-11:30am and coordinated geographically based upon the other pickups for the day, with further outlying towns first. Please bear in mind we may have additional pick ups before or after your group along the way. The end of your tasting day is typically 4:00-4:30pm.

When you choose to “hop off” we walk you into the winery and personally introduce you to the tasting room staff who will guide you through your tasting experience. When we return, we walk in, let you know we are back and if you’re ready to go, you “hop” back on to proceed to the next winery of your choice. If you choose to stay a bit longer, no problem – we’ll be back again in another 40 minutes to take you to your next destination. Our Wine Line Tasting Guide may help you make your choice of which wineries to visit.

The Santa Barbara service is divided between the North & South Loops.  You can transfer from one to the other, but you must do so at Zaca Mesa Winery.  If you have specific wineries you’d like to visit for your day, we strongly recommend you plan them out sequentially, so as not to waste  chunk of your day driving between them.  If you have no specific requests, we can certainly make recommendations.

As you are going to be out all day, lunch is always a concern.  There are three options for you regarding lunch.  You can either bring your own picnic which we will carry in our cooler until you are ready to enjoy it.  You can buy The Wine Line Gourmet Lunch (either a full sandwich, or 1/2 & 1/2 sandwich & salad, please see our Lunch Menu) for $15pp.  Finally, you may choose to be taken into Los Olivos and eat at any of the restaurants or delis in town. We only need to know in advance, preferably by the day before your tour, if we are providing your lunch.

You no longer have to be stuck with a group all day, subject to their pace or only visit the wineries to which they are all taken. And because you won’t spend all of your money on transportation you can afford to buy some of the fabulous wine and take it home to enjoy!
