Review from Brian S.

Like several others below, we found Rick though Living Social. I have to admit I was a little skeptical about what the tour would be like because of the Living Social deal, but the tour Rick put together far and away exceeded my expectations. The 6 passenger van is very comfortable and clean and it was nice not having to share a party bus with a big group. The van even had a cooler for water bottles (got to hydrate when wine tasting!) Around lunchtime a large platter of meats, cheeses, and snacks is provided.
You can customize your own tour, or you can have Rick plan it out for you. He took us to some great vineyards and knew the perfect times to go, avoiding the big, loud bachelorette parties. We even got to have one of our tastings conducted by the owner of the vineyard. If you are looking for a low key, relaxing day, I highly suggest you give Rick a call, plus you get to support a small business and a good dude! -

We found Rick from a Living Social deal, and I can honestly say that I have never been more impressed or happy with a selection! Sometimes I get the feeling that those of us who purchase these kinds of deals get a little less than the host's best, but in this case, Rick gave us 110% and made our wine excursion extra extra fun!
The van limo is very clean and classy looking on the outside- and the inside is amazing. Comfy seats with room for six, and the configuration was a half moon sort of thing where we could all face each other and we all had great views out the windows. Satellite radio or I-Pod hookup for music, and a small mini bar with water and sodas.
Rick took us to four vineyards, drove us around to tour several more, and gave us lots of information and answered any and all of our questions. He was so generous with his time, took pictures of us at each stop, and actually took the time to come in to each of the vineyard tasting rooms with us. He was expert at getting six slightly tipsy women to each destination without making us feel herded or hurried.
He provided a cheese, bread, cracker, chocolate nuts, etc.. snack platter between both the second and third tasting, and believe me, it was perfect timing each time!
With or without a deal, next time I want to tour Temecula in style, I'm calling Rick! -

Rick was amazing!!! We booked him for my parent's 60th birthday after finding him through Yelp, and reading all of the excellent reviews. He was on time and took us to four really nice wineries. Rick helped us at each winery to get our wine tickets and made sure we were comfortable and having a great time. His limo van was very comfortable, clean and stocked with water. He served us a wonderful cheese, meat and bread platter and it really hit the spot. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience and he really made my parent's birthday a memorable event. Thanks Rick!!!!

Rick was amazing - I would absolutely recommend going on a tour through Temecula with this company! We had three couples pitch in for the Living Social Deal, and Rick was so accommodating. He made sure we relaxed the whole day, had a fantastic itinerary of four wineries, and provided us with awesome snacks of crackers, cheese, fruit, etc! He helped us take photos, opened our doors for us, and the limo was so spacious and clean. He dropped us off in Old Town Temecula afterwards so we could end the perfect day with some delectable food. This is a MUST-DO!

For my birthday, I wanted to arrange a wine tasting tour of Temecula since I had never been to that region before. The Temecula Winegrowers website (http://www.temeculawin...) lists several limo companies that can help make your tour a safe and comfortable one.
To be honest, I chose the first company listed on their preferred partners list that I contacted, and I'm so glad that I did!
Rick was fantastic from the start. He was very friendly and professional and we worked out a reasonable deal to pick the six of us up in Irvine, drive to Temecula, visit four wineries and then head back. The coach service that we had for the day fit six perfectly and was very comfortable. It was way more comfortable than when a bunch of us rented a regular limo in Santa Barbara wine country (more space and you could actually look at your friends during the ride than be spread out in the limo).
He provided us with a very nice cheese, cracker, bread and chocolate spread that he also replenished after the second or third stop. We also had waters, sodas and satellite radio, although you can provide your own iPod for a party hook up.
I wholeheartedly recommend Rick and his limo service and the next time I visit we will definitely use him again!! -

Rick was the most gracious host imaginable. His vehicle has comfortable seating and a table in the middle so that you can enjoy wine and hopefully a cheese platter. The latter he put together for us and it was amazing. He helped us view barrel rooms and made sure we were taken care of. He's friendly and you can tell he loves his job. I would highly, highly recommend his service.

Rick Barry who runs this gave us the most SUPER SUPER experience ever. Prepared cheese plates for us during the tour, van is top notch leather seating. Its like a van limo. He knows the area and the Winery owners and we got some extra goodies and sights because they like him. I cant say enough good things. He rocked. We called him our Wine Wrangler. If you goto Temecula you MUST use him.

Rick Berry runs a top notch wine country tour! He is passionate about what he does, very knowledgeable, super connected and pulls out all the stops. I had an absolutely fabulous time touring Temecula in his luxury van. It was comfortable, he put together a yummy cheese platter that we enjoyed throughout the day, and he gave us an insiders tour of the area. I loved every moment of it and would highly rec seeking him out if you are in the area, you won't be disappointed!

Five girl friends and I chose this company when we wanted to spend a day touring wineries in Temecula. Rick picked us up on time as scheduled in Chula Vista in his ultra-comfortable limo van, which seated the six of us around a table in the rear so that we could face each other during the drive. Rick was so friendly and provided excellent service, safe driving, and a delicious spread of snacks (bread, cheese, sausages, strawberries, and chocolates) and non-alcoholic beverages.
Great deal, excellent service. Use this company--Rick will not disappoint. -

If I could give Rick 10 stars, I would! He's amazing!! For my bachelorette weekend, I decided I wanted to go wine tasting. We were staying in Oceanside, but wanted to visit the Temecula wineries. For a very reasonable price, Rick picked us up in Oceanside and took us to Temecula. He provided wonderful service, and delicious snacks (meats, cheeses, crackers, fruits, chocolate, etc...)- an absolutely perfect spread of food for the in-between drive times from winery to winery. The food was a fabulous addition- you don't realize how hungry you get (and tipsy!!) visiting wineries. He made our day incredible- the 7 of us recommend Rick hands down.
Thank you for making my bachelorette weekend so memorable, Rick! We can't wait to come see you again!

Called Rick on this day b/c saw his steller reviews. He's booked on date I needed. But, what a class act. He talked to me on phone for a half hour and gave me a bunch of vineries to visit, hotel lodging ideas, restaurant suggestions, and other transportation contacts. Can see why he's booked and gets perfect scores. Thanks Rick! Next time....:(
