1000/10! Loved Jose “Goose” and will be booking again in the future - and bringing friends!Well planned wine tour visiting some great locations, super fun wheels, and just an overall great experience. Much preferred over a stuffy bus or limousine. They took care of us at each location whether it was a full tasting, a behind the scenes tour, or a full complimentary bottle of wine.

Amazing experience. Our driver John went above and beyond to give us a perfect tour. Would highly recommend a sidecar tour to anyone looking for a damn cool way to do a wine tasting!

This is very close to a five-star rating. Our driver, David, was wonderful! A Santa Barbara native, he was a great guide! The sidecar is a hoot and a really fun way to tour the city. My boyfriend and I had a blast.Minor cons - Website is full of broken links. Had to call the make sure the tour existed and to make the reservation. Our city tour description included a wine tasting at the end, according the description on the site. However, our driver didn't know anything about that and neither did his contact at the "home office." To his credit, David made sure we got the flight that was promised.Overall, it's a great concept and I would highly recommend. Glitches seem to be part of growing pains of a new company. Hopefully, they will resolve themselves quickly.

This was a surprise anniversary present for my husband who loves motorcycles and we both love wine! What a crazy and fantastic way to visit wineries! John was a great host/driver and made our experience informative, fun and safe. The wineries were beautiful, tastings were great and we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. I highly recommend this tour for a special and memorable occasion. “Sidecar”note: don’t wear a skirt. I flashed half of Temecula! 😂

This experience was loads of fun! Our drivers, Malinda and DJ, were knowledgeable about the Paso Robles wineries and grape growing region, and they also took excellent pictures and were just a pleasure to be around. They were safety conscious, too. If we are ever in Paso Robles again, we would absolutely do this again! It is a unique and very fun way to do a wine tour!

What a wonderful way to enjoy wine tastings at 3 different wineries! Our driver Will was knowledgeable about the geography and story of each of the wineries we visited plus more. He was pleasure to be with and also gave us privacy to enjoy each of our tastings. We felt very safe in the sidecar and enjoyed the scenery without having to worry about directions. Highly recommend. Dress appropriately for a motorcycle ride!

First of all when you book your trip ask for Angel, my man was putting in work! I booked this for my wife's birthday because it was something that looked fun and different, and boy was it. Pretty sure my wife said it was the best part of our trip. Angel made the whole experience amazing, he was knowledgeable about the Vineyards and area, he was fun and playful with the side car and we even did a pretty amazing slide into a parking spot, talk about making an entrance with style! The best part was he took a ton of photos with his own camera and air dropped them to us at the end of the trip. I can tell you I didn't see the other drivers offering this experience. He even told us to put our phones away and enjoy the ride. I highly recommend doing this but only if you get Angel as your driver!

My husband and I had a wonderful time. Our son got us a tour for Waterfront/ Little Italy/ Shelter Island/Balboa Park. It was so much fun. I have never been a big motorcycle person, as I had an accident in my teens, so to be honest I was just a little tiny bit anxious. BUT, Ray was so great. As soon as we sped off from Liberty Station I was hooked. It was for my birthday and I loved it! No hesitations for doing it again! RAY IS THE MAN!!!

A great fun way to experience Temecula wine country! Our driver's were informative, helpful, and made the experience. Would definitely do again!

Our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable about vineyards in the area, which is difficult to find an independent source. She was also very safety conscious.

This was a lot of fun. We biked through a vineyard, then we stopped for some local knowledge about the vineyards, We then toured the countryside and stopped at two wineries for tastings. We were not rushed through the tastings and we tried 4 wines at the first winery and at the second winery we got to select a wine and they gave us the whole bottle. We have also done a Hot Air Balloon Ride, but the SoCal Sidecar is definitely more fun. As you can see we were there when it was a little chilly, but it was fine. The tour lasted a little over 2 1/2 hours and we were not rushed along the way. There are several other couples/singles touring with SolCal Sidecars so you also get to meet new people when you stop at the wineries.

The nicest guys you'll ever meet! We were here for a bacholette party and they were so welcoming. Took our pictures, suggested different angles or locations for said pictures, and just overall good vibes! So fun and I highly highly recommend! I'm so glad we found them!

Fernando and Fred were the ultimate hosts and incredibly kind + safe drivers. They took us to 3 great wineries, toured the countryside of Temecula in a SIDECAR and had so many laughs. Now, I will only know how to travel between wineries in a sidecar experience. Thank you so much Fred & Fernando!! - Kate, Kate, Nikki

The Sidecar Tour of Temecula Winery's was freaking amazing! We are so happy with our driver "Hunter"... he really made it fun and interesting too! I think the video really made the tour a masterpiece... as now we can show our friends & family what it is really about! You have to do this... once in your life!

Sean and I had so much fun on our ride with Cesar! He was very personable and made it a very memorable day for us. We will definitely be recommending Sidecar Tours to our friends!

Loved the Sidecar Tour in Temecula. My husband and I had a truly wonderful day--it is so much fun, and our tour guide, Hunter, did a fantastic job. We loved riding in the side car and getting to see the beautiful country of Temecula. It was also interesting to get to learn more about wine. The only minor complaint that we had is that I was under the impression that we would be doing wine tasting at two locations. Instead, you are dropped off at a winery and get a bottle of wine to enjoy while you sit outside. Very picturesque and beautiful, but the wine was mediocre and we were actually looking forward to doing more tasting rather than just having a bottle of wine to ourselves. I just think that this information should be more clear upon purchasing. Otherwise, the day was absolutely beautiful. And the winery that the trip starts/ends at is stunning.

Angel was an awesome driver and more than offset a little disappointment in some of the wineries that we visited. We'll definitely be back to enjoy the paved and dirt roads of Temecula ... from a side car.

If you have never done the sidecar wine tour, I highly recommend it. David is a fantastic host. He made us feel welcome, he was social but also gave us plenty of space, he took us to special places so that he could take pictures of us in the sidecar and then sent the pictures to me. I will recommend Sidecar Tours to everyone I know!Thank you so much for a memorable afternoon

02-12-22 We did the Sidecar Tour in Napa, Ca. WHAT and amazing time it was! Our tour guide Dan was so awesome! It was such a great way to relax and a unique way to see Napa. I highly recommend this company! We can't wait to do it again and we plan to do their tours in different cities! If you're on the fence about this tour, its definitely worth it and so much fun! Thank You sidecar tours for an unforgettable experience!

Jaydy is very passionate about the business he has created and it shines through him and his dedicated team of drivers, all dressed to the nines to add an extra touch to this experience. He was very communicative and flexible throughout the entire process. We had a group of 8 people total and caravanning through Sonoma to 3 wineries felt so special and nostalgic. It was the first time all 8 of us had ever been in a sidecar, proving that this experience is truly unique.Thanks for everything Jaydy and team!

It's definitely a fun way to go wine tasting and see the country side. The tour guide was a really cool guy and he knows what he's doing. Over all it made the perfect date and I would do it again.

Super fun day!!! I was not expecting the sidecars to be as fun as they were zipping through the vineyards and up and down the roads of Temecula. My friend and I both had a blast and our guide Will AKA Wayne (he'll know) was very nice. We went to three vineyards....I will say that you don't do this to do any serious wine tasting but we didn't even really notice because we were having a good time. Definitely would do it again!!!

Mia M.

We had a wonderful and fun tour with Fernando! He was very knowledgeable about Temecula and it’s history. He was a great tour guide and it was a fun way to enjoy the wineries!

The experience as UHH-MAY-ZING. Although it was extremely cold that day, my mother and I had a blast. We booked the wine tasting tour and everything was seamless. From the customer service over the phone to make the reservation to the actual experience with our tour guide Will. I wish there was a side car tours in NY but if you're in the Temecula region, this is the best designated driver ever!
