Our Cupcake & Wine Tour is now offered exclusively for private and large group bookings.
If you love tasty treats like cupcakes and wine, this tour is ideal for celebrations, team outings, bachelorette parties, birthdays, and other special occasions looking for a unique wine country experience.
Your day in wine country begins with private shuttle transportation to the Santa Ynez Valley, where your group will enjoy wine tastings at select wineries that showcase the region’s distinctive wines and relaxed countryside charm.
During the tour, you’ll also visit the Saarloos & Sons tasting room in Los Olivos for an additional wine tasting paired with delicious cupcakes from one of Santa Barbara’s most beloved local bakeries — Enjoy Cupcakes or Crushcakes (availability dependent).
Throughout the day, winery staff will share insight into their unique varietals and blends, while your guide provides context on the region’s history and winemaking traditions. A locally sourced lunch served at a favorite winery rounds out the experience and provides a perfect mid-day break.
