When you come on a tour with me, I can show you the must see sites, as well as some out-of-the-way architectural gems that only a local like me knows about. I have researched local history quite extensively and am very knowledgeable. What makes this tour unique is my in-depth understanding of local history, lore, and architecture, and my abilities to answer whatever questions you might have, as well as to show you the hidden places that aren’t listed in every guidebook. We can arrange beforehand to focus on what you find most interesting: Architecture? History? Adobe construction? Fabulous views? Gardens (Santa Barbara has one of the largest varieties of trees in its downtown area of any city in the country!)? Perhaps a combination of them all! I can cater to whatever interests you have!

Date nights can be tough to plan sometimes. We have always loved visiting wine country, tasting its rich history, and enjoying the freedom of the backroads on a motorcycle. We figured why not give someone else the opportunity to experience all of the things we love in a new way! So, we decided to modify the standard motorcycle sidecar to accommodate two passengers and now we have the world’s first and only tandem sidecars, which is one of the things that makes us so special. Our goal is to give winery goers a unique, fun, and intimate way to get to know this beautiful wine region with our knowledgeable drivers. We don’t want to be just another mode of transportation between wineries. We want to immerse our guests in the area's culture, history, and how it became what it is today.
