I went to High School in Paso and at that time there was ONE (count 'em) ONE winery. So far we have visited only about 12 of them on the west side.
I personally don't know of even one winery that has a shuttle, but there is at least one Wine Tour company in the area of Buellton/Solvang. We avoid things of that nature as we prefer to tour on our own. Hope to have a toad in the near future. We have had no problems so far driving the Mother Ship to tasting rooms. One or two had driveways to worry about, but we made it OK.
Never can go wrong with Anderson's Pea Soup. Other recommendation include Industrial Eats and the Hitching Post, featured in the movie Sideways. Also there is the Red Barn - excellent.
One of the things that make the wine so good in the Buellton/Solvang area is that that region has a climate very similar to the Rhone Valley in the Mediterranean area of France. For the money, these wines beat the dickens out of French wines.
