Private Santa Barbara Winery Transportation & Concierge Service

Depending on your group size, transportation may be provided in one of our vehicles, such as a luxury SUV or a mini-shuttle. Our SUVs are black Lincoln Navigators, while larger groups may travel in comfortable white shuttles or coaches designed for wine country transportation.

Yes. Grapeline vehicles are well-airconditioned and designed for comfortable group travel through Santa Barbara wine country. Your vehicle is private to your group, giving you a comfortable place to regroup between winery visits.

Absolutely. Guests are welcome to bring wine purchases with them during the day. Many groups collect bottles at each winery and keep them in the vehicle until the end of the service. Your driver-host can assist with loading purchases so they stay secure between stops.

Possibly. Santa Barbara winery transportation requires a 5-hour minimum, and additional time may be available for an extra fee depending on driver and vehicle availability. If your group may want extra time for lunch, added tastings, or a longer stop, it’s best to request this ahead of time when booking.

With Transportation with Concierge Service, Grapeline helps recommend wineries and arrange tasting reservations based on your group’s preferences, timing, and availability. If you have specific Santa Barbara wineries in mind, you’re welcome to share them with your event specialist so they can be considered during planning.

Your Grapeline event specialist will help shape the itinerary based on your group’s preferences, winery availability, location, tasting style, and the flow of the day. The goal is to create a well-timed route through Santa Barbara wine country that gives your group enough time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed.

No. Grapeline only arranges tasting reservations but, if you prefer that we handle this for you, a private wine tour would be the best option.

Most groups visit around three wineries during a typical Santa Barbara wine country day, depending on tasting reservation times, travel distance, lunch plans, and your preferred pace. Your event specialist can help plan a route that fits your timing and group preferences.

Pickup is available in Solvang and the Santa Ynez Valley, as well as Santa Barbara and Goleta, depending on your transportation package. For Santa Ynez Valley pickups, service time begins at your local pickup location and ends at your local drop-off.

Pickups in Santa Barbara and Goleta include a 1-hour transfer charge to offset travel time. For guests staying outside the standard pickup areas, custom pickup may be available as an added amenity, with pricing available upon request.

Many winery tastings last around 60 to 90 minutes, though timing can vary by winery, tasting format, and group size. Your event specialist will factor this into the itinerary so the day has a comfortable pace.

Group size depends on vehicle availability and the type of transportation needed. Grapeline may provide luxury-class black SUVs for smaller groups or custom touring vans for larger groups. Our team can recommend the right option based on your guest count and service details.

Same-day changes cannot be guaranteed because winery reservations and timing are arranged in advance. If your group would like to request a change, your driver-host will do their best to assist based on timing, availability, and the remaining service time. Same-day changes or additions may affect the schedule and may be billed to the primary account on file.

With the Transportation Only Service, your group chooses the wineries, books the tasting appointments, and sets the schedule. Grapeline provides the private vehicle and professional driver-host for the day.

With Transportation and Concierge Service, Grapeline adds planning support from an event specialist. We can recommend wineries, arrange tasting reservations, coordinate timing, and provide private transportation for your Santa Barbara wine country itinerary.
