Perfection, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. And, without wanting to get too philosophical, while striving for perfection may be a noble goal, expecting things to be always perfect can lead to constant disappointment (especially when it comes to wine.and men!) So, what I mean by "A Perfect Day Wine Tasting" is.

Services
Eos Santa Barbara has been offering tours and transportation services in and around Santa Barbara for a decade. In 2018 it was taken over by husband and wife team Nick James and Prasuna Parsons, who had moved to Santa Barbara from Sedona, Arizona after falling in love with both the atmosphere and sense of community they found in Santa Barbara.
We took the private wine tour as we were celebrating my wife's birthday that weekend. I cannot stress how amazing the tour was courtesy of our driver George. He not only made it casual but also gave us the confidence with the wineries he recommended based on showing us the three different vineyard regions of Santa Barbara.
Santa Barbara County is one of the most diverse and beautiful wine growing regions in the world. Tour with EOS Santa Barbara and unlock the secrets of the Santa Barbara vineyard scene. This Spanish Colonial Revival style building has been described as "grandest Spanish Colonial Revival structure ever built, " and is the preeminent example of Santa Barbara's adoption of Spanish Colonial as its civic style after the 1925 earthquake.
In a typical wine tasting a winery will showcase between 4 and 7 wines, pouring you about one ounce of each for you to try, while talking about the wines, their flavor profiles, and how and from which grapes they are made. You can drink all of the wine poured, but containers are provided for you to dispose of any you don't want to finish.
Jump on the original Santa Barbara Wine Shuttle and tour through beautiful Santa Barbara wine country, wine tasting at stunning vineyards. Wine Country Tour includes pickup and drop off at your location in the greater Santa Barbara or Santa Ynez Valley area. The best value wine tour in Santa Barbara Wine Country!

Nick James and EOS Transportation provided great service for my wife and I, plus our two friends this Labor Day weekend. Nick was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, on time, and consistently drove us from winery to winery making sure our tastings were set up and paid for.
Even though most wineries were booked, Nick found us multiple great locations to attend and we walked right in! The sprinter van for the tours was comfortable and accommodating.
Highly recommend their services if you’re in Santa Barbara and are looking for a guided tour of wine county!

Our wine tour with EOS was delightful, very informative and a lot of fun.
The bus was clean and had good air conditioning, we got plenty of water, which made it comfortable for everyone to ride in it.
During the drive to our destinations there was plenty of time to relax and enjoy the landscape; horse farms, beautiful cattle and quaint little villages lay on the way.
George, our driver and tour guide knows the area well and had the best recommendations for the wines to taste in each location.
My favorite winery was the exquisite Tuscan style Sunstone winery. They have great Merlot, Grenache

Our trip to the exotic locations of Santa Barbara with EOS Santa Barbara Wine Tours and Transportation has exempted us to enjoy moments to be cherished for years.
I am pleased that we chose the Santa Ynez Wine Tours to unravel the renowned vineyards and wineries. Make a note to taste the world class wines in these wineries.

Perfect experience, even if you're not throwing a bachelorette party. We were a large family that included grandma at the top all the way down to three toddlers, and the trip was awesome. Fun wineries, comfortable bus driven with total attention to safety, a healthy lunch that the kids actually ate, and courteous, professional service all around. There was no pressure to buy at the wineries. While the adults sampled wines the kids played in the vineyards or on the grounds surrounding the cellars. A great, family-friendly option.

A large group of us celebrating a family member's milestone birthday spent the day recently touring selected wineries, dining on a delicious picnic lunch provided by EOS, and enjoying one another while leaving the driving and details to EOS. Adam was the best....courteous, knowledgeable, and most importantly- a safe and skilled bus driver. I will be using them again in the future and would refer family and friends without hesitation when visiting the Santa Barbara area.
