Exclusive Santa Barbara Wine Tour for Harvest

In Fall we'll head to one of the most scenic places to drink the best Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Chardonnay's being produced in the USA and some would say the world! Not only will the weather be perfect, but we will arrive just near the end of harvest. Meaning the option to be involved with picking grapes, working in the cellar or foot stomping grapes has never been more real. We'll have personalized service with the region’s best winemakers, owners and chefs. The real story will be the intimate group in a laid back, high-end travel experience like no other.

Let Heathen Wine Tours handle all of the planning for you. Meals, accomodations, airport pick up/drop off at the Santa Barabra airport. Come get a behind the scenes view of what really goes into the production of what's in your bottle. From the vineyard, to the crush and the people in between. We'll discover the reality of the business with this casual, fun and intimate crew.

Cheese and wine tasting with Dick and Jenny Dore, owners of Foxen Winery.

Tastings from barrels and current vintages with Brian Talley, owner of Talley Vineyards.
