Santa Ynez Valley: All-Inclusive Private Wine Country Tour

Ride in style through the sun-drenched Santa Ynez Valley, sipping world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at three boutique wineries — all pours, gourmet lunch, and a personal sommelier-guide included.

What to expect

Your knowledgeable guide collects you dockside and whisks you into the rolling hills of Los Olivos and Solvang. At each estate you'll taste through library and single-vineyard pours alongside commentary on the terroir that makes this valley rival Burgundy. A proper gourmet lunch is served mid-tour — wine pairings and all — before a scenic return along the Pacific corridor.

Good to know

Tour duration is approximately 6–7 hours; confirm your ship's all-aboard time before booking. Departs from and returns to the cruise pier. Pre-book as small-group slots sell out weeks in advance, especially on weekends.
