  My husband and I (late 50s, casual cyclists from New York State) enjoyed a beautiful February 14 ride with William, owner of I Bike Santa Barbara Wine Tours. The points of interest will be familiar to any fans of Alexander Payne’s great film “Sideways.” William provides everything you need: bikes, water bottles, power bars, helmets, encouragement. We signed up for the mid-level “Wine Lovers’ Ride” but then extended it a bit to the full 15-mile “Classic” because it was so enjoyable gliding by the vineyards and ranches with bison, alpacas, and horses (not to mention the cute Danish town of Solvang, where we nabbed free tastes of European cheeses and fudge). Waiting at the end of our ride was a delicious olive oil tasting at the Rancho Olivos farmstand and then the vaunted iBike Italian-flavored al fresco luncheon at the spacious Brander winery (following a 5-wine tasting, of course!). We also had a fun wine tasting in Los Olivos, where Mikael, the owner of Kaena wines, impressed us with his passion for wine and his home state of Hawaii. Will was an excellent low-key tour guide and Santa Barbara fan who shared lots of area lore and tips. We highly recommend this wonderful day riding through gorgeous countryside.
