OUTSTANDING tour!! Everything ran on time and Tuanni and her partner did an absolutely Amazing job making the ride to and from the vineyard smooth and enjoyable. Mimosas on the way? Sign me up. Lunch in town? A real treat. All that, and WINE !!! Once in Los Olivos and Solvang, there were so many wine tastings to choose from. This is by far the best tour I've taken yet.

Wonderful, from the time I got on the bus til the time the trip ended. So much fun, well planned and no unpleasent experiences. The bus driver was excellent and I would recommend the wine tasting trip to everyone. B. D.

Zuri Wine Bus was so much fun. You start of your bus tour with a short wine class that teaches you the basics and you get to pair them with some different snacks to see how they change the taste of the wine. Once you arrive to the Winery you get to have your first wine tasting, with more snacks. Then comes the lunch which was delicious and fresh! If they have the Veggie sandwich choice I say take that one, it was the yummiest sandwich they had. Once your full and happy and maybe a little buzzed you get a tour of the vineyard by the owner. She was very nice and answered everyone’s questions. You are also given a chance to go to the shop and buy some wines to take home if you really liked them.
Then its off to Solvang for more wine tasting and a bit of free time for more snacks and some shopping. Then you get whisked away home. There are even chances to win prizes on the bus, it’s a lot of fun and everyone seemed to have a great time. I ended up taking my father who is by no means a wine drinker, but I thought he would enjoy the day out and the scenery, and maybe I would just finish all his wine for him… He loved it, he had a great time and even ended up taking a couple of bottles home for himself.
I think this is a great event for everyone. Couples wanting to get a way, a sister’s for a bunch of gal pals, even great to take your parents on. It’s not a crazy party bus, but everyone is having fun! I would defiantly do it again!

This was an amazing tour! So much fun, the owner was a great host, very informative and really beautiful trip to the winery. Wine tasting was really fun and there was a great crowd of people there. Lunch was the best. No paper bag lunch when I went. Fine dining experience indeed. Loved it and would recommend to ANYONE.

my boyfriend and i have never been to any wine tasting trips, so this was our first one and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. great company, great food and most importantly, great wine! our hosts, tuanni and her assistant were great and knowledgable. It proved to be an educational trip about wine as well. After this trip, i definitely will look into more wine tastings in the future, it was so fun. My boyfriend and i are now winos in training, thanks Tuanni and Goldstar for the great and memorable experience!

The tour was fun & very well-organized. There was a positive energy that radiated from everyone, from Barbara (our guide), Oscar (the bus driver) to all the accomplished and amazing women (and men) who found themselves on this awesome day's adventure. My husband and I had a great time and will remember the experience fondly. Couldn't have hoped for a better day. We enjoyed the VIP treatment we received from all.
Zuri and her team did an extraordinary job. We felt pampered and well-taken care of by this enthusiastic group of professionals!

We had a fantastic time!!!! I would highly recommend Zuri Wine Bus tours. Ms Tuanni definitely knew her stuff!!!! The highlight of the trip was meeting the owner of Rideau Vineyards, Ms. Iris. She was a breath of fresh air. She was sooooo personable and very open answering questions. You can't help but fall in love with her! Overall the trip was outstanding!!!
The whole process was perfect. No hiccups...It was exactly as stated. Excellent service all around!!!!!!

This is a very lovely winery with spacious and well landscaped grounds for picnicking and just relaxing. I take many in-state bus tours, and this was the best maintained bus of any I have taken. The driver was well groomed, polite and helpful. The host, Zuri Wine Service, provided excellent knowledge about the varieties of wine and how to approach wine drinking and also provided a continental breakfast with mimosas on the bus as well as other little unexpected perks. At the winery there was wine tasting, a delicious lunch, and tour that including meeting the owner and hearing her interesting story of how she got into the business. This was followed in Solvang by additional wine tasting along with olive, olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting. There was also time to shop and eat in Solvang. I had a wonderful time and definitely plan to take this trip again.
My expectations were exceeded!

A great time! Plus, a real surprise was the quality of the delicious, AND healthy "box" lunch served. OMG!
