Grape Adventures hosts tours in Los Angeles, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Wine Country, Ventura, Ojai Valley and Temecula Valley Wine Country.

A detailed list of where we visit on each tour can be found under each tour description.  

The length of the tours varies from an afternoon sightseeing and wine tasting in Malibu (5.5 hours)  to an all-day adventure in LA, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Wine Country or Temecula Wine Country (7.5 – 10 hours).

Please visit our website for details.

We pick up from hotels, residences or a central location. One such central location is in front of Santa Monica Place (shopping mall)  in front of Nordstrom at 220 Broadway (Broadway & 3rd), Santa Monica.  

If you are picked up from a hotel or residence, you do not have to worry about parking. If you are being picked up from a central meeting area, such as in front of Nordstrom at Santa Monica Place, there is a Santa Monica Municipal parking structure near the pick-up location.

We offer a 100% refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled departure. All tours canceled within 24 hours of scheduled departure are non-refundable. We do offer rescheduling options for a future tour date subject to availability. No shows will be charged 100% without the rescheduling option.

We pick up at residences, offices and hundreds of hotels across Southern California for a reasonable fee.

See our hotel pick up page for more information.
