Los Olivos Limousine & Wine Tours

Had a great weekend up in Los Olivos wine tasting with John. It was a special weekend as I proposed to my long time girlfriend and John and Los Olivos limo made it even better and more special! They were ahead of schedule in picking us up and the limo was beautiful and very clean. Nicely stocked with water and even a bottle of Champagne! (That we put to good use after the proposal!) John was really nice and knew about the surprise proposal ahead of time, he did a great job of keeping the secret and jumped out and got some great photos of us during the proposal at Demetria winery! Truly a great weekend, looking forward to our next trip wine tasting and we will definitely be calling John and Los Olivos limo to get us safely from winery to winery!

Sylvia was communicative, friendly, helpful, patient with our group and had invaluable knowledge about the area. Not only did she deftly maneuver our group across winding that roads that would have been daunting while sober, she was incredibly thoughtful (she helped us set up a picnic with real linens, plates and silverware!) and always professional. We all loved her, and rightfully so– she helped make our day beyond enjoyable to truly excellent.

John and Sylvia made my wife’s birthday extra special. From my initial inquiry, to the contract and wine tour day, each step was easy, professional and went exactly how we had hoped. They had great recommendations for wineries and food stops in Los Olivos and did little extras like decorate the limo with ballons and had a bottle of champagne to kick off the day. Definitely would recommend them for any occasion, service was top notch.

From booking to saying goodbye Sylvia & John were exceptional.
Friendly, punctual, knowledgeable and overall spectacular.
The 5 stars are guaranteed. I can’t say anything more than what everyone else has already said.
Thanks again and see you next time.

John was out playing golf! We had Sylvia, and she was great. Sylvia knows the valley and shared her stories and insights with the 4 of us. She recommended a few places and they did not disappoint. We had packed food but Sylvia made the presentation very special. All in all, Sylvia helped make our 2 birthday celebrations memorable. Thank you Sylvia, Ken

John did a great job making a memorable trip for friends and family. I didn’t have a plan but John put everything into place and pulled off a great trip that will not be forgotten. Limo was clean and comfortable but the service is what makes or breaks a tour. Thanks again John if I make a trip to the area in the future I know who to call.

What a great service — driver was on time, so nice and took us everywhere as well as a few recommendations that were awesome as well. Car was clean and fully stocked, would totally recommend and will use this service again !!!

I spent my 30^th birthday re-​discovering the Valley wine scene, and John and Sylvia couldn’t have been better guides. Over a few emails, Sylvia zeroed in on exactly the kinds of wines we like (ie. really really good ones — think Seasmoke), and designed the perfect itinerary for my special request: Newer winemakers doing very interesting things. That lead us to the «Wine Ghetto» of Lompoc, Dierberg-​Starlane, and Huber, and we were not disappointed by any of them! I don’t think we’ve ever managed such a home run of wine-​tasting on our own. It definitely pays to ask the experts. We had such a fun time and I look forward to recommending Los Olivos Limo to everyone who asks me «So, what should I do in Santa Ynez?» Local’s tip: Plan a picnic lunch with Panino’s sandwiches.

Sylvia recently took care of a group of girlfriends for a bachelorette I was coordinating this past Memorial Day weekend, which involved an informal wine tour near Los Olivos. I had read such positive reviews on Unilocal,and our experience was truly spot on with the other reviews! (As good as it gets!)
We were driving up from LA and ran into traffic, and I called Sylvia that we were running late and she was understanding and accommodating. Being a local for the last 20+ years, Sylvia was extremely knowledgeable of the area, and approachable to talk to. She even helped set-​up our picnic lunch, offered us cooled water bottles throughout our trip, and shifted our time without penalty, which I greatly appreciated. The whole trip truly had a personal touch! During and after the drive, my girlfriends kept commenting on how great Sylvia was, both in personality and professionalism. She truly made a difference in making the trip a successful and happy one! The Lincoln Navigator we rode in was perfect for our group, and reasonably priced compared to other SB options.
Leading up to the trip, Sylvia was exceptionally helpful in providing winery ideas and was SO responsive and attentive. I would get a response typically within hours, which was so amazing.
Los Olivos Limo (Sylvia and John) is the epitome of a quality local business, through and through. Working with Sylvia was a wonderful experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend her and her husband for any driving needs in the area!

John and Sylvia Nuss are the BEST! Having worked in television for years, which means countless limo rides, I can honestly say that the personal and attentive service from this company is superior! To begin, Sylvia was extraordinary in helping me plan a special day for our family escape. From guiding me on planning a wonderful picnic to offering wonderful winery selections, Sylvia was phenomenal. And, from the moment John picked us up in a beautiful and clean stretch limo to the time he returned us to our front door… he was warm, personable and professional. I can’t say enough great things about this business. Whenever we visit the area, Los Olivos Limo will absolutely be our transportation of choice. On top of ALL of that, their pricing was very good for the quality and service we received.

What a great time my two friends and I had thanks to John Nuss, our wonderful limo driver, who was at our hotel on time, took us to exactly the kind of boutique wineries we were looking for, and guided us to some of the best sandwiches we’ve ever had. When John says he’s going to send you the contract and email you the day before your arrival, he means it. I can’t say enough good things about John and Los Olivos Limo. You won’t be sorry you went with John.

A limo service that you can’t ask for more to tour the Santa Ynez wine country. It was the first time for the 2 of us in this area. Using their Navigator was ideal for a couple and reasonably priced. Spacious, comfortable, and loads of space for all those wine purchases. Sylvia was a very pleasant, informative driver that rounded out our whole wine tasting experience on the Foxen Canyon trail. A nice touch to our day was to enjoy a picnic lunch on white table cloth at a winery’s park like setting. Needless to say we will be using their service again when exploring other parts of Santa Ynez since only a handful of vineyards were experienced.

If you are looking for a personable, friendly and overall warm friendly knowledgeable experience, look no further. John and Sylvia of Los Olivos Limo are incredible!
Sylvia coordinated all of our wine tastings all the wineries we wanted to go to, and even got us complimentary tastings. They arrived promptly and were incredibly helpful and knowledgable of the area and knew all the great places. John our driver picked up our lunch for us and they provided us with nice plates, silverware, cloth napkins and everything we needed. The atmosphere in the limo is immaculate and clean, but not fussy. You just feel comfortable and safe going from one place to the next.
I would recommended them to anyone looking for a picture perfect
SYV wine tasting experience. It literally doesn’t get any better than this :)
Thank you John and Sylvia!

SERVICE, yes all in caps!
Unilocal does not have enough stars to talk about how good John and Sylvia are. The amazing service started a few days after I scheduled a wine tour for my mother-in-law’s 70^th birthday. They proactively contacted me to think about scheduling and getting a picnic. They asked what kind of wine we liked and made great suggestions.
On the day of the tour, John picked up I the sandwiches I ordered so we could dedicate more time to wine tasting. John was early and very helpful, even when we changed the timing of a few places.
The limo was very clean and comfy, he even guessed right about the kind of music we liked (really? how perceptive is that!) it was well stocked with water, OJ and champagne. The picnic supplies were classy (plates, cloth napkins, silverware) and he brought them out and set up while we were getting our first tasting. The rest of the day, John was hyperly perceptive and made sure we were having fun.
But the best of all, was after I paid, he drove BACK to our hotel and gave me back some money, saying he accidentally charge us too much. REALLY?!? I would have never noticed and he took his time to come back and give us cash. BEYOND service.
I can’t recommend Los Olivos Limo enough. You will have an amazing day and enjoy being pampered!

Our Driver: Sylvia
Our Experience: Fantastic! Sylvia emailed me ahead of time asking about any food, wineries, etc we would like to visit during the day to ensure a great time. She was very knowledgeable of the local wineries and their specialties. We’re definitely looking forward to our next trip and spending a day with her or John.
Thanks again!

I went on a wine tour for my friends birthday and had so much fun! We let them know which wineries we were interested in going to and they planned out the route for us. The whole day was really fun and the driver made it really easy to have cake and champagne for the birthday girl and they even decorated the limo.
Definitely the way to go if you want to arrive in style at any winery in the Valley!

First of all I wanted to add that John and Sylvia were able to fit me into their schedule very last minute. I called in the afternoon before and they were able to accomidate the next morning, even though they were pretty booked solid, so they are extremely flexible. I did have a wine tasting plan and a good idea of how much time to spend at each winery to accomplish my full schedule but I definately consulted with Sylvia the morning of. She knows the area and drive times very well which definately helps when you are trying to put together your realistic day of wineries and wine tasting. Sylvia agreed my plan was sound and she offered some of her own advice if wanted to make any detours. She showed up with a cooler full of ice so that we could keep or picnic lunch chilled while we tasted wine. It was an absolute gorgeous day and it couldn’t have gone any better. Sylvia was the perfect host and also offered a lot of knowledge on the wine region and even specific wineries. I highly recommend booking a car through Los Olivos Limo. They make the day so much more enjoyable and it really didn’t hurt that Sylvia was so nice, personable, and knowledgable about the area either. You probably won’t get that type of day if you are with any other car service. I will definately call them again when I’m in town to do another round of wineries and wine tasting.

I took a wine tour with my friends for my birthday one week ago today. Prior to the tour I spoke via email with Los Olivos Limo to plan our tour, I told them what wineries we wanted to go to and they recommended a tour route, perfect. John arrived at our vacation rental on time, and with a nice cold bottle of champagne on ice, he explained our tour route, told us we had time to pop the bottle, and we were on our way! Every place we went John was right there when we needed him, but kept his distance while we galavanted around. One of the girls in our group, surprisingly the one we least expected to over-​indulge, tapped out a little early and John was kind enough to take her and her boyfriend back to the vacation house while we stayed at the last winery. We all had such a great experience on our limo tour, it was really the best time we could have imagined. Thank you John and Sylvia for an expertly prepared and serviced limousine wine tour.

I recently used Los Olivos Limousine to do some wine tasting in Los Olivos with some girlfriends for my birthday and my experience could not have been any better! John, our driver, picked us up on time and was an amazing host who I would highly recommend. Our limo included champagne, water and his wife so graciously decorated the inside for us since they know it was my birthday. John has been a valley resident for many years so he is very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations that made our entire day stress free and enjoyable. He is very professional, sincere and we never once felt rushed by him. Thank you John for a memorable experience, I can wait to use your services again!

Just got back from a birthday wine weekend get away in Los Olivos. Saturday we had arranged for a limo to come pick us up and take us to as many vineyards as possible! John was our driver and he was extremely nice and helpful. He provide great advice as to where the best places were. He suggested Demetria for lunch since its one of the only places you can have a picnic lunch at but you need a reservation… It gets better Demetria has the best views of the Santa Ynez Valley and as your eating your cheeses and deli meats they bring the wine to you! John was nice enough to make reservations for us so gald he did! This was the best price limo I could find for the amount of time I needed. The limo fit 7 of us comfortably and we all had a wonderful day thanks to Los Olivos Limosine! I will use this service the next time I am in LO for sure!!!
