Golfing at the famous country club is a popular activity for limo clientele, but also the many restaurants here are common limousine destinations. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Let us present our “Top 7 Best Things To Do in Montecito, California!”<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Lotusland</span><br />
<br />
By far the most famous landmark, Walska Lotusland is also the best-rated activity in town on TripAdvisor. This 37-acre park includes some of the world’s rarest plant species. There’s also a pond, Lotus Pond, and lush botanical gardens. Two-hour tours of the gardens are available, and the Japanese Garden is a must to see.<br />

Why go all the way to Santa Barbara for dining, when there are so many award-winning restaurants in town? Lucky’s steakhouse on Coast Village Road might be the most famous, often served by limo services from Santa Barbara and even Los Angeles. For the best ocean views, head to Four Season’s Bella Vista or Tydes Restaurant. For the best Mexican, head to Cava Restaurant & Bar on Coast Village Road. Stella Mares on Los Patos Way serves great French cuisine, while Pane E Vino has the town’s best Italian cuisine. Ordering a limo service or party bus to the eateries of town might be your best chance of spotting one of the town’s celebrities. Most of the best restaurants are located in the Upper Village part of Montecito.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Wine-Tasting Tours</span><br />
<br />
This town is surrounded by great wine-tasting venues and vineyards. Santa Barbara’s backyard vineyards in Santa Ynez are the most popular tours, but there are also various wine-tasting rooms in and around town. Many stop by the Wine Bistro on San Ysidro Road, while the wine bar at Trattoria Mollie is a local favorite.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Best Beaching</span><br />

Montecito is home to some of the most scenic beaches in Santa Barbara County, including Butterfly- and Miramar Beaches. Located on Channel Drive right across from Four Seasons Biltmore is where we find the idyllic Butterfly Beach. Named for its many winter monarch butterflies, this might be the most visited beach in town. Miramar Beach is situated right below another famous resort, namely the Miramar Hotel Santa Barbara. Both beaches are definitely worth looking into and offer some great swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and picnicking.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Gallery Tours</span><br />
<br />
Gallery tours are popular with limo clients. Easton Gallery on Hot Springs Rd was established in 1990 and is a famous gallery in the Santa Barbara region. Come here to see local art and paintings. Numerous other galleries are located in town, mostly on Coast Village Road.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Explore The Outdoors</span><br />
<br />
The most popular trail in town might be the Ennisbrook Trail, which is a 1.9-mile loop from 1788 San Leandro Lane. It is located within the San Ysidro Creek Preserve in the heart of town and is a forested trail along a creek. The more experienced hikers head up to the Cold Springs East Fork Trail for the 3.5-mile hike to Montecito Peak. From this peak, you can see as far as all the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/chis/" target="_blank">California Channel Islands</a>, Santa Barbara, and nearby mountains. Alternatively, check out the less than two-mile Hammond Meadow Trail from Shalawa Meadow. This trail follows the gorgeous villas and scenic beaches along the coastline. A park often visited by limousine clientele for wedding photos and picnics is Manning Park, located at 449 San Ysidro Road.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">7. Casa del Herrero</span><br />
<br />
A true Santa Barbara landmark, this home, and garden is a popular destination for tourists booking limos. This eleven-acre site is registered as a U.S. Historic Landmark and dates back to the mid-1920s. Ninety-minute guided tours of the Spanish-style home are available several days per week. The beautiful 11-acre property features botanical gardens and Spanish architecture at its best.<br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Situated in the northern part of Malibu, the homes around the area are unlike most of these beach communities not located within a gated community but are among the area’s most expensive real estate. This is also one of the most celebrity-densest areas in LA County. Just a few of the many celebrities residing here include Mel Gibson, Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffmann, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Danny DeVito, Eddie Van Halen, Charlie Sheen, Sylvester Stallone, and many more. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">The access to this public beach is located 1 mile from Zuma Beach, with a pathway located at 31300 and 31200 on Broad Beach Road. Despite wealthy homeowners’ efforts to restrict access to Broad Beach, there have become more easily accessible entries to Broad Beach in recent years. Connected to Zuma in the north, Broad Beach resembles Zuma but is smaller and less crowded than its southern counterpart. A racing scene from the 2001 film <i>The Fast and the Furious</i> was filmed here, where Vin Diesel races a Ferrari on the way to Neptune’s Net.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Latigo is located right after entering Latigo Shore Dr., just west of Corral Canyon and east of Latigo Point. It is famous for its many gorgeous beach homes and its A-rated water quality. In fact, some days there are up to 40 feet of ocean visibility which makes for great scuba diving and snorkeling. Its private location makes for a great sunbathing experience, and as it’s sheltered by Latigo Point and has fewer waves than most Malibu beaches, Latigo makes for a great beach for swimming. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">As there are many houses and apartments located here, parking along the Pacific Coastal Highway might be your best parking option to avoid neighbor complaints. The beach has been featured in various films. Zachary’s home in <i>Mildred Pierce</i> (1945) is located at the beach, and it’s the location where Spencer is pursued at the end of <i>It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World</i> (1963). Joseph’s home in the 1973 film <i>Messiah of Evil</i> is also located here, and so is a waterfall seen in <i>Tourist Trap</i> (1979). The gas station from <i>It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World</i> is a popular stop for cinematic tours by limousine services.</span></span></div>

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">This narrow sandy beach actually translated from Spanish into “Hidden Beach”! One of the most beautiful gems in the Malibu area, nearby homeowners have fought unsuccessfully for decades (as seen on CNN, LA Times, The Guardian, and elsewhere) to keep beachgoers away from the beach. You may need to ignore a few signs, but rest assured that anyone can access this beach. Located just below the bluff from Geoffrey’s Malibu restaurant, visitors will have to park on PCH just before the restaurant to venture down here. Being top-rated for water quality, scuba diving, and snorkeling are common activities for party buses and Malibu limo service customers who travel out here. As recently as yesterday we took clients here from Malibu wine-tasting tours in the canyons.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Named for the downward path leading here, Staircase Beach is found on the northern end of Leo Carrillo State Beach. The beach is relatively rocky and maybe most visited by surfers, windsurfers, and paddle-boarders. As there is no signage for the beach it is easily overlooked, but those who discover this beach will fall in love with its magnificent cliffs, white sand beach, and gorgeous rock formations. Staircase Beach may be reached from the parking lot at Leo Carrillo State Beach and from a trail going from the North Beach Campground. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">The beach is located close to a great seafood restaurant, namely Neptune’s Net. Enjoy the zigzag trail down to this rocky hidden gem of a Malibu beach! Often named among the most gorgeous beaches in California, our Malibu limo service often has limousine- and party bus vehicles heading to Staircase Beach.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Ordering party bus- and limousine services to visit <a href="http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=633" target="_blank">El Matador State Beach</a> has become as popular as visiting the larger beaches. Being a more known stretch of beach than the others mentioned in this article, El Matador is a more known “hidden gem”, but still less visited than most beaches. With its gorgeous rock outcroppings, sea caves, and mountain cliffs, bringing the camera along for photographs is a must when visiting El Matador. The hike down to the beach is steep and uses several staircases. Being so far down from the Pacific Coastal Highway, the beach is completely separated from the noise of the freeway and has an unusually secluded character for an LA County beach. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">The forty-acre beach is one of the three beaches that make up the Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beach. Come here early to be guaranteed parking at the 40-space parking lot. While there are no shops or restaurants nearby, the beach parking lot is equipped with restrooms and even picnic areas overlooking the coast. Come here for a quiet and scenic beach with beautiful surrounding nature that’s ideal for photographs. Our top-rated Malibu limo service often transfers wedding clients here for an ideal secluded and naturally gorgeous place for wedding photographs. The two additional Robert H. Meyer Memorial State Beaches - La Piedra Beach and El Pescador - are smaller than El Matador, but maybe not as picturesque. El Matador has been featured in a variety of movies, making it a desired destination for limousine services on cinematic tours of Malibu. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">It is featured as the coast of South Carolina in <i>The Notebook</i> (2004), while it is dubbed for Mexico in <i>True Romance</i> (1993). The fictional Towers Beach in <i>Spellbinder</i> (1988) is actually El Matador, while the beach also can be seen in <i>A Lot Like Love</i> (2005) starring Ashton Kutcher.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">An even lesser-known beach is Lechuza Beach, situated at the northern end of Broad Beach Road. Known for its gorgeous rock formations and secluded character, it is found just a little way up from Broad Beach. The long walking path takes you from Bunnie Ln. and Broad Beach Rd. intersection and down to the beach. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Unlike most other beaches in the area, Lechuza Beach is not connected to other beaches and is therefore a true hidden Malibu gem. Our Malibu limo service has often transferred beach-goers here as the beach lacks its own parking lot. Although there are no public restrooms or showers here, you can take easily take a stroll from the beach to the nearby Starbucks and gas station on PCH and Broad Beach Rd. Its naturally rocky coastline, seclusion, and tons of vegetation resemble a Pacific Island more than an LA County beach!</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">If none of these were particularly intriguing, check out Orange County’s Thousand Steps Beach for one of Southern California’s most scenic beaches. A popular activity for many of our clients in Malibu is to combine wine-tasting tours with a day at the beach. Located right across the PCH from Topanga Beach is where we find the Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio, a wine-tasting room that offers great views of the Pacific Ocean. Further inland you can venture on wine-tasting tours to wineries such as Malibu Family Wines, Cornell Winery & Wine-Tasting Room, and SIP Malibu Grapes. For those who prefer an even more secluded beach than those mentioned here, ordering limousine services to visit the California Channel Islands might be your best choice. Whether to visit the peaceful white sand beaches of Santa Rosa Island or explore the coastline of Catalina Island, a Malibu limo service can get you to the dock in style!</span></span></div>

You may think of hiking and camping, but the Santa Monica’s are also home to numerous restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, and more. The Malibu Cafe and other venues here are beloved destinations for those booking our Malibu limo service. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">In recent years wine tours have become increasingly popular in the Malibu Canyons and Santa Monica Mountains. The region has experienced a wine renaissance with a growing number of wineries and tasting venues. As of 2016, the Santa Monica’s are in fact home to over fifty wineries and some of our most popular wine tours include those to the Malibu Canyons and elsewhere in the Santa Monica’s. Getting limos for rent and heading out in wine country makes for a guaranteed memorable adventure. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Separating the Conejo Valley from the Pacific Ocean, ordering Newbury Park limousine rides crossing the mountains are tremendously popular. Roads crossing the Santa Monica’s are also the shortest way for those living in the Greater Thousand Oaks Area in order to head to the beach or to Malibu. However, what many don’t realize is a large number of eateries and wineries tucked away in various canyons here. Whether by an LA- or Newbury Park party bus, these places are worth the travel! Wine tours to the Santa Monica’s and Malibu Canyons are more popular than ever before, and our favorite tasting venues are Malibu Family Wines, Cornell Winery & Tasting Room as well as SIP Malibu Grapes. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Being our most popular Malibu limo service destinations, these tasting rooms all offer something unique. Maybe the most popular, Malibu Family Wines, is nestled in its own canyon with gorgeous views and a stunning atmosphere. Here people come to enjoy wines, and, on weekends, there is most often live entertainment such as standup comedy, outdoor movie screenings, and concerts. During events such as these, there are also often food trucks on the spot offering tacos, burritos, etc. Maybe best of all, this winery also offers its own exclusive safari tours with animals such as zebras, camels, alpacas, water buffalos, American bison, giraffes, yaks, and more! Tucked away in the tiny unincorporated mountain community of Cornell, about halfway between Agoura Hills and Malibu, is where we find the Cornell Winery & Tasting Room. Offering a more rustic feel, Cornell also brags one of the area’s largest wine collections. It is located right next door to the Old Place Restaurant, one of the region’s best eateries. Traveling to Malibu restaurants or wineries with limos for rent is the utmost luxury and makes for an unforgettable memory!</span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Restaurants</span></span></h2>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Besides the Old Place Restaurant, there are numerous other restaurants in the Santa Monica’s. As recently as yesterday we had an LAX airport transfer stop by the Rock Store in order to grab a bite on the way to the airport. But the most popular restaurants by far are the Malibu Café, Saddle Peak Lodge, and the Old Place Restaurant. Possibly the most popular eatery in the Santa Monica Mountains, the Malibu Café, is a hidden gem nestled in its own canyon by a creek and forest. A more beautiful setting or atmosphere for dinner is hard to come by. Situated on a ranch on the border of the cities of Agoura Hills and Malibu, the Malibu Cafe is also known to locals as the M Café. Being a top destination for our Malibu limo service, the peaceful setting and beauty of the M Café will not let you down. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Lastly, the Saddle Peak Lodge is a great option for dining high up in the Malibu Hills. The hunting-themed lodge restaurant specializes in American cuisine, offers a full bar, and is known for its crab cakes as well as outstanding wild game specialties such as buffalo tartare and elk tenderloin. Fireplaces and gorgeous mountain views make Saddle Peak Lodge a romantic retreat. It is elegant, perfect for larger parties, and is known for its wild-west setting and rustic atmosphere. It’s become an increasingly popular destination on wine tours for Newbury Park limousine and party bus clients.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Having been settled for over 10,000 years, the mountains were home to the Chumash- and nearby Tongva Native American peoples for thousands of years. Thousands of artifacts from prehistoric times have been discovered in the mountains. Many artifacts have for instance been found in the Big Sycamore Canyon, a canyon connecting the Conejo Valley to the coast, which was a popular trading route for the Native Americans. Today, Satwiwa is the name of a former Chumash village in southern Newbury Park at the foothills of Boney Mountain, a holy mountain for the Chumash people. <a href="https://www.nps.gov/samo/planyourvisit/satwiwa-native-american-indian-culture-center.htm" target="_blank">The Satwiwa Native-American Indian Culture Center</a> is still visited by the Chumash for events such as summer solstice and community dancing. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">With nearly a thousand acres of the Santa Monica’s located within the limits of Newbury Park, Newbury Park limousine customers often ride to Satwiwa for hiking or horseback riding at the nearby Rocking K Horse Rentals. What’s better than riding into the sunset in the beautiful rolling hills of the Santa Monica Mountains? The Backbone Trail leaves from the Satwiwa area and crosses the mountains before reaching the ocean in Point Mugu. But fear not, you don’t have to hike all 70 miles from the Conejo Valley to the Mugu Lagoon. There are numerous trailheads throughout the mountains where you can join in for a mile or two. We even often have the Malibu limo service called to for people traveling to the many trailheads of the Santa Monica’s. There are also Chumash pictographs and cave paintings at Malibu Family Wines, a popular destination on Malibu wine tours. Many Newbury Park limousine clients also book rides to the nearby Thousand Oaks Chumash Indian Museum to see discovered artifacts on display and to attend tours of local cave paintings.</span></span><br />

At Cornell and Malibu Family Wines, two popular venues for wine tours, an array of movies have been filmed. From The X-Files to Barnaby Jones and Falcon Crest, there are many movie locales to experience by going on cinematic tours by limousine or party bus to the vineyards. Many more movies were filmed by the Santa Monica Mountains in the Conejo Valley: Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, and Westlake Village. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">We Bought a Zoo (2011) is just one example of the many movies filmed by the Santa Monica Mountains in Newbury Park. Ordering a Newbury Park limousine to check out the famous film locales has never been easier, more accessible, or more popular. American Horror Story, Teen Wolf, and American Pie are just a few more films made in this area.

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">T</span>here are so many activities to bring your children on, and to make it even better, adding a luxurious Santa Barbara limo will leave an unforgettable birthday or other special event for kids. Here are some of our best ideas for the best kid-friendly activities in the S.B. area!<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Walk with the butterflies</span><br />
<br />
The Goleta butterfly preserve is a gorgeous and memorable experience that gotta be tried out. Some early risers using our Blackhawk Ventura limousine services headed up here recently for a birthday party. As they explained, when the sun rises, the butterflies wake up, and one by one they leave the trees and fly down to the eucalyptus forest. There are numerous trails transversing the area, which easily makes for a full day of activities under the sun.<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Outdoor Stearns Wharf film night</span><br />
<br />
Kid-friendly movies are screened in numerous places in the county, most notably outside at the Carpinteria Linden Field as well as at the end of the Stearns Wharf. Movies here usually run from July to September and make for a great semi-outdoor activity for the family.<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Botanical Garden walk</span><br />
<br />
</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many <a href="http://blackhawklimo.com/santa-barbara-limo.php" target="_blank">Santa Barbara limo</a> clients love the 5-acre botanical garden with gorgeous flowers and trees of all kinds. From a redwood forest to meadows of lupine and poppies, there are great opportunities for activities here, including picnicking for clients who decide to bring their own lunch baskets.<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Whale-watching cruise</span><br />
<br />
The Condor Express and the Island Packers are two services offering whale-watching cruises in the channel. Also departing from Ventura, this is a tremendously popular Ventura limousine destination. From a recent group of friends hiring an Oxnard party bus, we heard how they witnessed “tons of dolphins, as well as migrating grey- and humpback whales”. Remember to bring a jacket or two!<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">
Feed the ostriches!</span><br />
<br />
</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most visited on our exclusive Santa Ynez wine tour options, the town of Buellton is also home to OstrichLand U.S.A., a beloved kid-friendly farm where you can hand feed the ostriches! From a recent group flying in using our LAX sedan service, we also discovered the great Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory! As a kid-friendly version of a Santa Ynez wine tour, here you can taste all kinds of locally produced chocolates, including for instance caramel-covered apples and more. For the tourists that recently arrived and booked our LAX sedan service, they also added a visit to the Solvang Festival Theater just down the street for live outdoor entertainment... <br />

Even more so in one of our exclusive limousines, sedans, or party bus vehicles. We serve all of Southern California: the American Rivera and the historic San Buenaventura are two coastal counties we love visiting. Located just sixty miles northwest of Los Angeles, California, and thirty miles from Santa Barbara, the 18th-century city of Ventura is a must-visit for people exploring the SoCal coast. </span><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Southern California's Coast</span></h2><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We would argue a highlight of this city would be the stroll through San Buenaventura Mission on Main Street, which is a popular choice for many Ventura limo clients of ours. Another local treasure is the County Museum of Art, which also features Chumash Indian artifacts as well as agricultural tools from historic times. Absolutely well worth checking out! The City of San Buenaventura has arguably the nicest and mildest climate on the southern coast but contains a lively downtown, gorgeous seafront, great parks, gardens, laid-back beaches, and so much more. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many tourists arriving in LA using our LAX car service tell us when they reach the city: “The downtown area is so small and compact and nice. I love how you can park at one spot, and then walk to the shops and beaches of downtown”. Other popular destinations here include the fishing pier, Olivas Adobe, Albinger Archeological Museum, and so much more. A good start out point is the Visitor and Convention Bureau at South California Street, which can provide you with local information and maps of the area.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A hugely popular destination for LA and <a href="http://blackhawklimo.com/santa-barbara-limo.php" target="_blank">Santa Barbara limousine</a> clients has been our vineyard trips throughout the region, for instance to the Malibu Canyons and the Santa Maria Valley. A trending alternative is our exclusive Santa Ynez wine tour, now offered with a price match guarantee, which will take you through the stunningly gorgeous wine country found in the region. Many of our clients fall in love with the “Danish” village of Solvang, which also offers some great tastings. Other areas include Los Olivos, Lompoc, Las Alamos, Buellton, and so many more. These wineries and tasting venues are unlike anywhere in the world: less visited than most other wine countries, available for seclusive picnicking for example, and also nested in gorgeous canyons and valleys, surrounded by oak trees and really beautiful nature.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Amongst clientele going on our Santa Ynez wine tour, many bring their lunch for picnicking at the valley's largest winery, the Firestone Vineyard, which is a stone-trimmed architecturally elegant building featuring a courtyard with fountains and beautiful views of the valleys and surrounding areas. For dinner in the surrounding area, many Santa Barbara limousine customers decide on the Cold Spring Tavern, Mattei’s Tavern, or the Valley Hunter Restaurant & Buffalo Saloon in Buellton. These are all great restaurants worth checking out.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Contact us today for any of your transportation needs.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">O</span>ur chauffeurs' number one favorite destinations are those consisting of touring the gorgeous vineyards found right here in Santa Barbara County. Having had the pleasure of providing tasting tours in this region for over twenty years, you can definitely rest assured your experience will be none less than exceptional with our limousine service. </span><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our tours in areas such as Santa Ynez, Los Olivos, and other towns in the Santa Maria- and Santa Ynez Valleys are a terrific way to explore the gorgeous vineyards, bond with friends, taste some amazing wines, take your loved one for a day he or she won’t forget, etc. Our Santa Ynez wine tour we are proud to say is not only an award-winning tour offer but has been covered in numerous local publications and become a hugely popular choice for many riding with Santa Barbara limo services. All tours are offered with our exclusive price-match guarantee, and you have a great selection of vehicles to choose from. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For smaller groups, maybe a sedan or SUV is sufficient?

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Among some of the most popular vineyards in the county are the Bridlewood Estate-, Firestone- and Sunstone Wineries. While Bridlewood and Sunstone are located in Santa Ynez, Firestone Vineyard is in nearby Los Olivos, also in the valley serviced on our Santa Ynez wine tour options. If you haven’t experienced the beautiful wine country right here in our backyard, you have a lot of exploring to do! While most tourists and other visitors in general flock to the wineries of Napa, Sonoma, and also to an extent Temecula, the vineyards of for example the Santa Maria Valley have few visitors and can therefore provide a more real tasting experience than some of the more overcrowded tasting-rooms elsewhere. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here, in sunny Southern California, you can bring your friends and picnic basket, and head on out to the vineyards for some great picnicking under the great California oaks. You not only get more nature to yourself, but the wineries’ own experts tend to have more time for each visitor. Several of the wineries and tasting rooms here also offer great entertainment, such as musical performances, stand-up comedy, movie screenings, and more. Be sure to ask us about upcoming or popular events when reserving your party bus or limousine service. Similarly, some wineries also offer dining with wine while others don’t. There are relatively few restaurants in the area, so planning for food in advance may be a good idea when touring the vineyards.</span><br />

This gorgeous coastal city offers one of the most dazzling scenic drives in Southern California, a beloved drive for Oxnard limo services. The city is conveniently located between Los Angeles to the south and Santa Barbara to the north, which makes it an ideal place for ordering party bus nights in Hollywood or wine tours in Santa Barbara. </span><div><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the highest-ranked Oxnard limo service, no one knows nor loves the City of Oxnard more than us at Blackhawk Limousine Service. We have been fortunate enough to serve this outstanding community for more than twenty years. We have served Oxnard and nearby communities for over 20 years with Ventura limo services.

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Being the most populous community in the county, with more than 200,000 inhabitants as of the 2010 U.S. Census, the city has something to offer for any occasion. Being located on the extremely fertile Oxnard Plain, the City of Oxnard is also a huge agricultural center in Southern California. As an example, Oxnard produces more than twenty percent of all strawberries grown in the State of California! We’ve often had our Ventura limo services stop at the side of the road to buy some great Oxnard strawberries. With its beautiful Mediterranean climate and varied terrain, you can find everything from beautiful sandy beaches, wetlands, creeks, dunes, and the Santa Clara River all in close proximity to the city. Some of the great beaches so often visited by our Ventura limousine service include Hollywood Beach, Oxnard State Beach, Silver Strand State Beach, Mandalay State Beach, and McGrath State Beach. Getting a limo or party bus to go visit the beaches is popular with tourists, locals, and other travelers.</span><br />

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Besides all the great beaching, there are tons of other popular Oxnard limo, sedan, and party bus destinations. For example, if you happen to be interested in history and older structures, Heritage Square is a popular choice. Being a major Oxnard tourist destination, Heritage Square is home to a museum, restaurant, wine-tasting room, and more than twenty other businesses. The Heritage Square, being such a beautiful and historic gem in Downtown Oxnard has also become a relatively popular wedding destination in recent years. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Many of our Ventura limo clients love the summer concerts held here every Friday between six and eight, which are held from June through August. If you are one to rather be into recreational activities, there are also numerous options to select from in the Oxnard area. Having been officially nicknamed the “Gateway to the Channel Islands”, the community is a popular hub for those traveling to the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/CHIS/planyourvisit/index.htm" target="_blank">Channel Islands National Park</a>, which is located just eleven miles offshore. The ferries leaving for the islands depart from Oxnard’s one and only harbor, the Channel Islands Harbor. This harbor is often served by Ventura limo services for visits to the national park. Other recreational activities here include guided kayaking trips and kayak rentals, dolphin and whale watching ferries, and numerous great golf courses, maybe, particularly the well-known River Ridge Golf Club. Why could be more stylish than showing up to the golf course with a limousine service?</span></span></div>

<span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Once called “The Land of Everlasting Summers” when discovered by the Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, it may be to no one’s surprise that many tourists book an LAX sedan rental or party bus to Oxnard for their stay in Southern California. The city got its present-day name from the Oxnard brothers who built a sugar beet factory in Oxnard in 1898. As a matter of fact, Henry Oxnard’s beet sugar industry was the first one to be established in America! The community has been known for centuries as one of California’s premier agricultural communities, but a recent growth in tourism has many believing Oxnard will emerge as a huge competitor in tourism on the Southern California coast, maybe especially among those seeking a more laid-back atmosphere than what is found in other coastal communities. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">As a provider of LAX sedan rentals, we transfer tourists here on a weekly basis with limousine service. As its beaches are not as crowded and popularized as counterparts in Los Angeles- and Ventura counties, it makes for a great beach and/or surfing destination by limousine service. Another emerging destination for clientele booking with Oxnard limo service is the Fisherman’s Wharf, which offers great dining, whale-watching excursions, kayak rentals, the Ventura County Martine Museum, and much more! We recently had a birthday party ordering a party bus for a whale-watching tour in the harbor. Adding luxurious transportation will make your day memorable!</span></span></div>

Ordering a party bus from Oxnard to go clubbing- and bar-hopping in Hollywood is a popular activity. Several clients utilizing our Oxnard limo services have told us about all the great movies filmed in the Oxnard area. Not only did Rudolph Valentino film the movie the Sheikh on the beach here, but Valentino fell in love with the community and bought a beach house at Hollywood Beach. Later on, numerous Hollywood stars and celebrities followed. Many of these use Ventura limo services regularly to numerous destinations in town. </span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Clark Gable later also bought a vacation home in Oxnard and no other than John Wayne mentioned Oxnard as his favorite fishing spot. While they may not have used our LAX sedan rental, many other celebrities were vacationing in Oxnard during its early days, including both Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin. Political activist César Chávez grew up in the community, which also has been the home of the animation director for the Simpsons, Rich Moore, and numerous other celebrities. Besides transporting celebrities, we often do cinematic tours by Ventura limo services to Oxnard.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A recent trend amongst local clients in Camarillo has been cinematic tours where customers see some of their favorite filming spots. A recent client on one of the Malibu wine tours told us about all the movies that have been filmed here. So we researched and discovered some of the greatest filming locations in town. Did you for example know that the Pinehurst Youth Development Center in the film <i>Friday the 13th: A New Beginning</i> (1985) is located in Camarillo? It is the Rancho Rosita located at 9715 Santa Rosa Road. Jay and Bob in the film Jay and <i>Silent Bob Strike Back</i> (2001) try to hitchhike at East 5th Street. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The mental hospital in <i>The Ring</i> (2002) was the former Camarillo State Hospital, now the campus at <a href="http://www.csuci.edu/" target="_blank">Cal State Channel Islands</a>. The same client on one of our Malibu wine tours also pointed out that the Air Force base in the movie <i>Iron Eagle</i> (1986) actually is the Camarillo Airport. Many more movies feature this airport. The farewell party in <i>The Astronaut’s Wife</i> (1999) took place here, as well as the airport scenes in <i>Black Sheep</i> (1996). The Spanish Hills Country Club is featured in <i>Romy and Michele's High School Reunion</i> (1997). We’ve even had airport transfer passengers flying into LAX to head up to the area for cinematic tours of Ventura County!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">F</span>or us at Blackhawk Limousine Santa Barbara, we get tons of calls from locals, celebrities, and tourists using our LA limo service. From all the VIP transportation we do in the Santa Barbara region, we learn about many of the great hidden gems. One of them is the Cold Spring Tavern. </span><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This great restaurant on Stagecoach Road in Santa Barbara has been a popular tavern since it was built in the 1880s as a stagecoach stop for wagons traveling the mountains to reach Santa Barbara. </span><div><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Worth the visit?</span></h2><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is secluded and rustic, located in a smaller canyon in the mountains of Santa Barbara County. While it was previously most visited by horses and wagons, it’s now mostly visited by cars, tons of Harley Davidsons, as well as numerous clients utilizing our <a href="http://blackhawklimo.com/santa-barbara-limo.php" target="_blank">limousine service in Santa Barbara</a> or Ventura Limo Service. The tavern is nestled in a gorgeous narrow and shady canyon among huge pine trees and oaks close to Los Olivos in the Santa Ynez Valley. A large amount of our Santa Barbara wine tour customers choose to stop here on the way to or from the great wineries of the Santa Ynez Valley. It is fairly difficult to find, on San Marcos Pass, which is north of Highway 154, you really have to be on the lookout to see the sign for Stagecoach Road Inn. Turn left here, then follow the relatively poorly marked road to the right and down to the canyon. However, customers utilizing our limousine service in Santa Barbara have absolutely nothing to fear. We are well versed in the area because this is a tremendously popular location for LA limo customers looking for an intimate and romantic setting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Cold Spring Tavern has definitely changed a lot since the times of late 1880s when the restaurant functioned as a relay station for stagecoaches that came here to the top of the San Marcos Pass to experience a traditional Old West meal. Much has changed since then, while other things have not. You can in fact still see the steps of the old stagecoaches here and the building is as rustic and secluded as it was in 1886. Well, sort of. It does host live musical performances every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday now. And it might be more of the rich and famous of Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Hollywood using Ventura limo or limousine Santa Barbara that come here. Well, the menu has changed. Well, sort of anyway's. They offer really great steaks such as sautéed elk steak, rabbit, traditional buffalo burgers, wild boar, venison home-made sausage, and more modern options, such as ribs, steaks, filets, and much more, all with their own fabulous BBQ sauce. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Cold Spring Tavern is also home to a gift shop and a bar, which is also visited by motorcyclists and is a popular hang-out spot for many celebrities in the region, including many using our Limousine Santa Barbara services. The bar is available for dancing both inside and outside and is a tremendously popular limo Santa Barbara destination. The Cold Spring Tavern Restaurant is open seven days a week and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For a date, snuggle up to the wood-burning fireplace and dine underneath the romantic lamplight. Our humble lunch suggestions would be to check out their sausage burger, steak sandwich, or traditional buffalo burger. For dinner, baby ribs, steak, grilled chicken, pasta and seafood are great choices. For the more adventurous Santa Barbara limo customers, try out their wild game or maybe their wild boar tenderloin? Many like to round off with a great dessert such as their apple cobbler or pecan pie.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is no secret that the climates of the Russian River Valley and Carneros of Northern California produce the most famous and most consumed California Champagne. In later years, however, this trend has been shifting and also Southern California produces some great sparkling wines. One of our wine connoisseur's favorites, NV Saddlerock Sparkling Brut, is actually from Malibu Family Wines in the Malibu Canyon, which is a frequently visited wine-tasting area for so many of our customers. All our vehicles are also equipped with a complimentary full bar, including spirits, sodas, vodka, whiskey, and a bottle of our own California-made Champagne from the Greater Los Angeles area. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First of all, you may wonder, is there anything such as California Champagne? Especially among the French, there are few that think it is legally, morally, or legitimately OK to apply the term <i>Champagne</i> to sparkling wines that came from outside of the Champagne regions of France. But even how strange the name “French Napa Valley Wine” sounds, it is indeed an accepted term. The vital thing here is U.S. Law Code TITLE 26, subtitle E, CHAPTER 51, Subchapter F, PART III, § 5388. In short, this law allows for the semi-generic designation of wines that do not originate from the Champagne Region, as long as the original region is added to the label name. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In other words, it is OK to use the terms “California Champagne” or “Californian Champagne”, as the label name also includes <i>where</i> it was made. Furthermore, sparkling wines of California are almost always produced in the <i>Méthode Champenoise</i> style, which produces Champagne fairly similar to those Champagnes made in Europe.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">California Champagne is mostly made by wine producers in cooler climates, and California-made sparkling wine differs in taste based on where the grapes are grown. Some California Champagne grapes are grown in the bottom of valleys, some on the top of the mountain, as well as the level of wind- and fog exposure the vineyard experiences, are all factors that differ the tastes of Californian sparkling wines. The most common grapes for California Champagne are chardonnay and pinot noir, while the most popular designation is <i>brut</i>, which is a dry style that is most likely a blend. As mentioned, Bruts are especially popular in California. Brut is a term used to describe the most sparkling and driest varieties of sparkling wines. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Several of the most popular California Champagnes are brut, for instance, the <i>Mayo Family Winery 2009 Brut Sparkling</i>, <i>Caraccioli Cellars 2007 Brut Rosé</i>, and our wine connoisseur's personal favorite, <i>NV Saddlerock Sparkling Brut</i>.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In this article, our wine connoisseur will elaborate on the process of how California Champagne, or Californian sparkling wine is made. First of all, sparkling wine is a type of wine that contains carbon dioxide bubbles. Carbon dioxide gas is a natural byproduct of fermentation, and wine-makers, therefore, decide to trap it in the wine. Just about every nation (and U.S. states) that produce wine, also make sparkling wine. Keep in mind that this article describes the process of producing <b>California sparkling wine</b>, and does not apply to other regions such as Spain, where Spanish sparkling wine, known locally as <i>cava</i>, uses totally different grapes than those used in California, particularly because of climate differences. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Having said that, the most common grapes found in California champagne are pinot noir and chardonnay, and to a lesser extent, Pinot Meunier and pinot blanc. Most Californian champagne wines are made of blends of both chardonnay and pinot noir, with a few exceptions. For instance, a blanc de Blancs champagne is made solely of Chardonnay wine grapes, which makes it the lightest of all California Champagnes. A blanc de noirs Champagne is made exclusively from dark-skinned pinot noir wine grapes, which makes it a heavier and fuller body. Somewhere in the middle of the two is where we would find rosé sparkling wine, or a pink California Champagne, which is made by adding an amount of red wine to the white blend.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The most important key in the champagne-producing process is to bottle the wine while it’s still fermenting so the yeast will continue on its work and generate alcohol and the gas that creates the bubbles, fizz, and carbon dioxide. This fizziness was first discovered by accident when the cold winters in Champagne, France stopped barrel fermenting in its tracks before the wine ever was bottled. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As soon as the wine was bottled and the weather had warmed up, fermentation started again, but this time inside the bottle, where the carbon dioxide ended up trapped. As the pressure built up the corks iconically “popped off” and were consumed quickly by people assuming the bottle nearly exploded from the immense pressure in the bottle. British merchants taking deliveries of French barrels of wine were the first to ever experience the peculiar phenomenon of enjoying exploding wine. In the late 18th century, Britain was home to a top-modern glass-blowing industry, so they were able to produce bottles thick enough to contain the champagne, whiteout the fear of the bottle blowing up because of the immense pressure collected inside.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The largest challenge facing the early champagne developers was to remove the sediments of dead yeast and other sediments left from the fermentation process from the bottle. The solution came with the méthode champenoise in 1805; a method that is still largely unchanged in SoCal’s modern-day Southern California Champagne. The bottles of half-fermented champagne were stored neck-down in larger racks and were traditionally turned on an exact time schedule over several months to get the undesired sediments to work their way down to the cork itself. This process is referred to as <i>riddling</i>. In contemporary times, this process is more and more done by electronic-controlled machines. After the riddling process, we get to the <i>disgorging process</i>. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here, the sediments are all carefully removed from the wine. In the contemporary automated version, the bottleneck is frozen, the cork is then removed, and the compressed gas shoots the frozen plug of muck out of the bottle. At last is the dosing process, when the wine bottle is topped off with wine and (in some places) also sugar before being recorked and allowed to continue fermenting. It is a relatively expensive and very precise process, which is also the reason why champagne has the stereotype of only being reserved for big celebrations or high-end consumers.</span><br />

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Champagne is not solely for celebrations </b>and special events. Despite eighty percent of the sparkling wine sale in America taking place between the months of November and January. Our wine connoisseur makes sure it is a style of wine that can be enjoyed at any time of year and also can <a href="http://aluxurylimo.blogspot.com/2015/04/wine-and-food-matching_7.html" target="_blank">match very well with certain types of food</a>. Our wine specialist suggests: “Try a great California Champagne as an aperitif or at the beginning of the meal. It also pairs great with a light appetizer or a sweet dessert as well.”</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Californian Champagne differs</b> from all other sparkling wines as wine producers in the State of California can not add any sugar to its wine. Luckily, the warm Southern California weather found in for instance the Malibu Canyons, Santa Barbara, and the Santa Ynez- and Santa Maria Valleys, is warm enough and the sun strong enough that ripening grapes to a good sweetness is not often a problem at all in SoCal. Very little at all can be added to California wine during fermentation as well, with the exception of clarifying agents and yeast.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Better wine glasses</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> lead to better champagne and bubbles. Fluters – tall and slender champagne glasses –help keep the wine sparkling longer and more “powerful”. The best flute has a small etching at the bottom of the flute that helps the bubbles rise from the bottom of the flute-wine glass. And do not worry, all our limousines are equipped with state-of-the-art champagne glasses and California Champagne.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>California Champagne gets you tipsy quickly. </b>Carbonation in champagne makes the valve more relaxed; the valve is the area between your stomach and the small intestine, which is where the alcohol is absorbed by the blood quickly. So while a heavy red wine stays in the stomach longer, sparkling wine enters the small intestine more quickly and goes to your head faster, which leads to a light tipsiness that comes and leaves faster.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Champagne-producing is a high-pressure process</b>. The pressure inside of a sparkling wine bottle made by the dissolved carbon dioxide gas is about ninety pounds per square inch or about 3 times the pressure found in your car tires. This is also why the glass bottles of California Champagne are so solid, thick, and heavy, and the champagne cork is able to shoot such a far distance.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Remember that all champagnes aren't the same(!)</b> The more expensive the sparkling wine is, generally speaking, the tinier the bobbles and creamier it feels in the mouth. The finest California champagnes barely taste fizzy, while the cheaper supermarket sparkling wines feel like fizzy water or even soda if you're unlucky.</span></li>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nearly three-quarters the size of France, the State of California produces about 90 percent of all the wine made in the U.S. Californian wine production is a third larger than that of Australia, and, if California were an independent nation, it would’ve been the world’s 4th largest wine producer. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 2015, there are more than 1,200 wineries spread throughout California, from the famous wineries of Sonoma and Napa in Northern California to the relatively new wine country of Santa Ynez Valley and the Malibu Canyon areas in Southern California. Blackhawk Limousine is proud to be the only limousine service in Southern California with our own wine concierge. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Blackhawk Limo has offered customized <a href="http://blackhawklimo.com/wine-tour.php" target="_blank">wine tours </a>throughout Southern California for more than fifteen years and serves Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles Counties. In this article, Blackhawk Limo and our wine tour concierge will outline the varietals of California wine grapes. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">California Grapes</span></h2><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First of all, of the more than a hundred grape varieties grown in California, many of them are originally of European descent, including French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Portuguese wine varietals. The diversity of the Californian wine industry and the multitude of different growing conditions are an illustration of the wide number of grape varietals grown in California. For instance, there are more than 30 different types of red wine grapes and about 25 types of white wine grapes. Certain grape varieties will solely grow in certain climates- and weather conditions, while others will grow about anywhere in the state. For instance, Chardonnay is everyone’s grape and happily grows throughout all of California wine country. On the other hand, grapes such as Pinot noir are fussy and will exclusively grow in a narrow range of cooler climates. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Leading Grape Types</span></h3>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The leading grape varieties grown in California are Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot noir, Sauvignon blanc, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Other important red wine grapes include Barbera, Cabernet Franc, Carignan, Grenache, Malbec, Mourvedre, Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, and Sangiovese. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Other important white wine grapes include Chenin blanc, French Colombard, Gewürztraminer, Marsanne, Muscat Canelli, Pinot blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Roussane, Sémillon, Trousseau Gris, and Viognier. In this article, Blackhawk Limousine and its wine concierge, Zeke Martinez, will outline some of these grapes and their characteristics. Why are the grape varietals so important? Well, every single grape has its own special character and flavor. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These traits shape the important characteristics found in a particular wine. If you know a few grapes you do like, or a few you do not prefer that much, it’s easier to pick the perfect wine and also makes it less scary to try out the wines you’ve never tasted previously.</span><br />

As a matter of fact, more than a quarter of all red wines produced in California are made from cabernet sauvignon. This grape is capable of both creating a powerful and tannic wine in the hotter climates of Southern California, as well as austere wines in the cooler mountain climates. Wines made out of Cabernet sauvignon grapes are all capable of having the telltale aromas of cassis – blackcurrant, as well as green bell pepper, blackberry, and cedar wood.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

In French wines, Merlot is usually mixed with Cabernet sauvignon, while in California, it’s more commonly made into an easier, lighter wine that is less tannic and plumper than most Cabernet sauvignons. The wines of the Merlot grape are perfect for both lunch as well as dinner; its soft textures and rich flavors work very well with a diversity of food. For the best pairing tips, try out some Merlot-based wine to a meal of lamb, veal, meat, or a stewed dish. Merlot goes also hand in hand with chicken, pork, or mushrooms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Zinfandel</b></span></h3></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The third most distributed red wine grape in the State of California. It’s sometimes falsely considered or claimed to be a California native, even though genetic studies have shown it originally came from Southern Europe. This wine grape comes in a wide range of styles, everything from a tannie, intense and jammy wine – to a way more subtle, nicely structured wine. Zinfandel was among the first wine grapes to reach the U.S., already by 1830, vines were sold as Zinfandel in what became the State of California a few decades later.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

The classic aromas include for instance raspberry, strawberry, violet, cherry, and numerous other earthly overtones. It is also one of the most widely used grapes for producing Champagne. Pinot noir has a tremendously long history and goes all the way back to the Roman Empire’s conquer of the Gaul regions in France. It soon became the wine for Roman Catholic sacraments and became hugely popular throughout Europe early on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

In some areas in Europe and Australia, this grape is also known as Shiraz. It is usually made into French-style wines in the cooler areas of California, exhibiting chocolate flavors and telltale black pepper, and an almost purple color. It makes a much denser and more powerful red wine when grown in areas with hotter climates, including parts of Southern California and the deserts of Australia. Commonly reported aromas, scents, and flavors are plums, flowers, spice, earth, licorice, pepper, and truffles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Petite Sirah</b></span></h3></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Historically one of the most popular wine grapes in California. It’s commonly used as a blending grape, oftentimes in Zinfandels, but is also more recently increasingly bottled on its own. It’s genetically related to Syrah, even though the Californian Syrah has been found to be a varietal called Durif, which is a cross between Petite Sirah and Peloursin. When mixed, this grape adds a tannic backbone, structure, and color. It makes a hard wide that fits perfectly with many big dishes – meats, grilled meats, braised, ribs, and stews is a great choice for a food match.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Chardonnay</b></span></h3></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The absolute dominating white wine grape in California; Chardonnay accounts for more than fifty percent of the total acreage of white varietals in the state. It grows about anywhere and can be made into a multitude of white wines. Chardonnay is also one of the most popular grapes used to make Champagne. Chardonnay goes well with a huge variety of seafood, such as lobsters, crabs, and other shellfish, sushi and all raw fish, grilled fish such as cod or salmon, and more. It also pairs well with veal, pork, and a wide variety of cheese. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Chenin Blanc</b></span></h3></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The grape that Chardonnay eclipsed, and the acreage planted to this grape have been declining rapidly since the 1980s. It makes an equally easy-drinking wine as Chardonnay but is full of fruit aromas. It is first and foremost a great blending grape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Sauvignon Blanc</b></span></h3></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the most important white grapes in France, where it’s commonly blended with Semillon, and sauvignon blanc has had a huge growth in California in recent years. In colder climates, such as its home in Bordeaux and other European wine lands, as well as in the cooler climates of Northern California, it makes a refreshing, crisp aromatic white wine. Usually with unusual aromas such as herbs and grass as well. In Southern California and warmer climates, it makes for an intense style of wine from which winemakers often coax richer, more tropical fruity flavors. These are sometimes referred to as <i>fumè</i></span><i style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> blanc.</i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Viognier</b></span></h3></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yet another traditionally French wine grape that really exploded into the California scene in the 1990s. It does extremely well in the hot climate of Southern California, where it ripens enough to make full-bodied, elegant wines with distinctive exotic aromas, as well as an amazing texture. Watch out for sometimes excessive levels of alcohol, sometimes far beyond fifteen percent, which sometimes gives the wine an alcoholic or hot taste. It’s one of the few wines that go very well with a huge variety of food – from spicy food, because of its excessive sweetness - to roasted or grilled chicken, pork, veal, shellfish, and other seafood. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Riesling</b></span></h3></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Regarded as the number one wine in its home country of Germany, and has become increasingly popular in California in recent times. Some Rieslings are sweet and sometimes lack structure, but the best ones generally have unique tropical fruity flavors, a great balance of acidity, lightness, and powerful aromas. It can be paired with food such as white fish, and pork, and is great at handling stronger spices found in many Asian cuisines, such as Thai, Indian, or Chinese cuisine. </span><br />

It produces a wonderfully aromatic and complex wine with a telltale floral aroma and a refreshing acidity that makes them great with food. Most Gewürztraminer is made in a dry style, but the grapes are usually harvested later than usual to make a rich and complex dessert wine. In California, it is mostly grown in Sonoma, Monterey, and Sonoma.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>F</b></span>ifteen years back, Blackhawk Limousine began a customized Santa Barbara wine tour throughout Southern California, and what a great experience it has been for us and our clients! The popular wine regions of Southern California are made up of Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez Valley, and Malibu Canyon, with Santa Ynez Valley becoming the most popular for wine tourism since the 2004 movie <i>Sideways</i> confirmed its status as a hot spot. Emerging as a wine destination, Southern California’s mostly hot and arid countryside is not as well developed as you go north, but the Santa Ynez Valley in particular continues generating a huge following for its wines and sheer determination to grow grapes in such a picturesque location.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2 style="text-align: left;">Santa Ynez</h2>
<br />
So many of our <a href="http://blackhawklimo.com/santa-barbara-limo.php" target="_blank">Santa Barbara limo</a> clients enjoy what Santa Ynez Valley has to offer. Over 140 wineries throughout the region, thoroughbred ranches, world-class beer tasting, specialty shops, boutique restaurants, and endless activities and events. The contemporary and casual setting of the Santa Ynez beckons visitors to settle in for a great meal and wine experience, or enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the gently rolling hills of the Santa Ynez Valley. Santa Ynez valley is mostly known for it’s grapes and is very rich in history. Outside of town, the countryside is riddled with several small farms of all shapes and sizes, many of them open to the public with fun things to do. Many allow “Pick your own” fruit such as pears and apples, and then you pay per pound. Some have a petting zoo for just a few dollars or just ask for a donation. The wine country of Santa Barbara County was undeveloped and far from comparable to Napa for so long. Times have changed greatly! The wine region is now among the most popular in the world. The iconic landscape is gently rolling hills, offering growers a variety of terrain. In addition, the fog often lingers, making moister conditions for the grapes. In the eastern part of the Valley, the land is flat, with full sun and easier planting, which allow for increased production. Both areas are visited by millions of wine enthusiasts from around the world. Thousands of them were transported by our Santa Barbara limo service!<br />
<br />
California has been a center for grapes and wine since the Spanish missionaries brought the first vines to the area in the late 1790s. The European settlers during the Gold Rush of the 1850s began developing the wine industry. Today, local wine is known worldwide and California is the fourth largest wine-producing area in the world after Spain, France, and Italy. Whether it’s food, adventure, art, or history, there’s a limousine tour and tasting experience to pair with whatever your interests may be. On-site winery tours are alive and well, but off-site tasting rooms are booming!! They are a great alternative to exploring a wine region without driving from winery to winery. Los Olivos is one of the favorite stops we offer for this very reason. The tasting rooms are plenty!<br />
<br />
These days it has become "the thing" to do for bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, anniversaries, and any special occasion. We get calls daily from local clients and those flying in to spend vacation time. They love the leisurely drive during a Santa Barbara limo experience, where they can visit with their friends, take in the scenery, and taste some wine. It's an experience of a lifetime, and it's right in our backyard.<br />
