Santa Barbara: Sustainable wine tours

There’s a new Mercedes in town, and it’s biodiesel. Sustainable Vine Wine Tours is a new attraction serving Santa Ynez vineyards that practice sustainable agriculture. Learn the difference between organic wine and wine made from organic grapes with a company that cares just as much about giving back as they do showing you a good time.

The Deal: Get $20 off each $115 tour when you mention the Los Angeles Times. The five hour tour includes door-to-door pick up in Santa Barbara, wine tastings at each of the vineyards, a gourmet organic picnic and a $10 certificate towards buying wine.

When: Monday–Thursday until July 1, 2007

More…Details: Some of the vintners featured are Alma Rosa, Ampelos, Beckmen and Presidio.

Why Go: To learn the meaning of big words like biodynamic agriculture.

Why Not: You prefer to ride in a limo than a nine passenger
