One of Santa Barbara’s Best Experiences!

I was delighted to be treated to this tour on the eve of my birthday while my Mom was in town visiting. Prior to having my own paranormal experience I was both a scaredy cat and a skeptic but I have sense learned that spirits do exist. Julie has a wealth of knowledge and is a phenomenal story teller. She speaks of ghosts as if they are close friends and invited us into their lives which were many years before our time. I did a double take several times on this tour and felt that we were accompanied by more than the people on this tour and on the SB streets. Looking back at the photos I took, there are certainly images I can’t explain. I loved this experience and the gift bag we received. My sister wants to go on a tour when she comes to town and I know she will love it! Thank you so much, Julie. I now see Santa Barbara in a whole new way and feel compelled to read more about its history.

Its ok

I'll start 1st with, the winery we met at was super yummy. It was fun and interactive and we had a good group of ladies. Then the tour started. It was fun, cute ghost stories and the locations where these ghosts can be found was fun. Our guide was such a sweet girl. The down side, i was thinking there would be more. For the amout we paid, i kind of expected another wine tasting, as 1 tasting and a 20min ghost tour for this amount, is not worth it to me. Side note: They did say, the night tours are more fun, so try the instead of the day tour 🤷‍♀️

My apologies that you did not have your expectations met. I would like to break the costs down for you for the "Paranormal Pairing Ghost Tour." It is actually a great value. The cost for each tasting includes the snack gift bags, card for a free walking tour for you in the future, and "tips for the staff" at the winery are covered by the 35.00 you pay to go to the winery vs. the regular night tours which are 55.00 per person. Also the percentage of booking agencies 20% was not factored into the fixed costs mentioned. Now for the breakdown of the 2 hour Wine Tasting Tour vs. 1.5 hour Walking Ghost Tour: The wine tasting portion of your tor should have 60 minutes for introductions, ghost storytelling and time to go to the restroom before a 60 minute walking ghost tour. Additionally, every guest who goes on the wine tour is offered a free 7 or 9 tour automatically by your guide with a card which is in your SBGT gift bag. It has a cell number on it text when you are next in town. Were you told about this surprise special gift which we share with all Wine Tasting guests? If not, please look inside your gift bag and know that this is your "ticket" for your future free walking ghost tour. We have 157 collected ghost stories so we want to share as many as we can for our guests on the wine tour. Please call me (805 905-9019) to discuss how we can make you feel your experience was a valuable Santa Barbara experience. Sincerely, Julie Ann Brown Owner and Founder of SBGT

Wine, and history, and ghosts, Oh Fun!
Toni_A
, Mar 2021
The Grassini winery is a wonderful place to sit, sip wine, and start your ghost story experience! We had never tasted Grassini wines, so this alone was a nugget of gold! They will hold your purchased bottles for next day pick up, so you don’t have to carry them on the walking portion of the tour. Julie is also a nugget of gold! She is such a pleasure to meet, and a wealth of historical information! The ghost stories are the icing on the cake. If you are open minded about the possibilities of spiritual visitors, you will be thrilled by this tour, and even if you are not, you will still have a great time!

Toni! Thank you for such a wonderful review for both Grassini Winery (and for the gift you left for me) and for your experiences on your ghost tour. It was a delight to have you and your family as guests and you brought joy and excitement throughout the entire adventure!
