Grape Adventures is a Southern California tour operator specializing in private, customizable experiences across Los Angeles, Santa Barbara Wine Country, Temecula Valley, Malibu, and nearby coastal routes. The company runs private tours in upscale Mercedes Sprinter vans (or similar), pairing comfortable transportation with engaging local guides who share stories of regional history, culture, and winemaking.
Offerings include full-day Santa Barbara, Solvang, and Los Olivos wine country trips, Temecula Valley celebrations, Malibu and Los Angeles private party routes, and a 7-hour Mercedes Sprinter private after-cruise shore excursion option from Los Angeles. Several experiences are designed for special occasions — bachelorette and birthday parties — with flexible stop selections for wineries, villages, beaches, and photo opportunities.
Booking is managed through a Private Experience Request: travelers select a date, submit a simple form, receive a tailored proposal by email, confirm with a deposit, and enjoy flexible cancellation options. Wine and lunch are typically not included unless specified in a tour description. Pickup and drop-off options are available throughout Los Angeles County, with some departures from Ventura or Santa Barbara counties when listed. Children and dogs are welcome on select tours.
Grape Adventures focuses on private groups, personalized routing along routes such as the Pacific Coast Highway, and curated days that adapt to group interests. Tour descriptions list sample stops and choices so groups can plan a wine-focused, scenic, or celebratory itinerary that fits their needs.
