Your Back-Country Wine Tasting Tour begins with door-to-door service from the Fess Parker Doubletree Resort in Santa Barbara and continues over the mountains through the beautiful countryside of the Santa Ynez Valley, with its sprawling ranches and endless miles of orchards and vineyards. Enjoy breath-taking scenery of lush valley landscapes silhouetted against two separate mountain back-drops. Experience four of the region’s best wineries for tasting, a production tour and a gourmet picnic lunch at one of the vineyards.

The journey back to Santa Barbara takes us on a little known dirt road located in the Los Padres National Forest. We’ll wind our way through mountain streams and oak-shaded canyons as we climb to just over 3,000 feet before reaching a paved road for a smooth descent down the mountain. We’ll pass by the former Ronald Reagan Ranch and witness some spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands beyond. After reaching the bottom of the mountain it’s just a short drive back along the ocean to Santa Barbara.
