Private, chauffeured wine day from LA

Coastal elegance through Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez

Handpicked premier tasting stops
Guests choose two to three premier wineries for the day from a suggested list that includes Sanford, Melville, Brewer-Clifton, Foxen, Fess Parker, Dierberg, Babcock, Alma Rosa and The Hilt—or allow Honeycomb to guide-select based on preferences and availability.
