Zuri Wine Tasting & Tours

Here with the host Tuanni from Zuri Wine Tasting, having a great brunch. Good times, good food, great company here at Mixology at The Groove

My friend and went on the tour on Saturday, October 18^th and what a beautiful and fun day !!! Tuanni was very knowledgable, professional and super sweet and made it one enjoyable experience. I met some new people and everyone in attendance was just soo cool, truly a decadent adventure :)
Even if you decide to venture out alone, you will be heartily embraced because it is just that type of vibe !!!

My husband bought me a Groupon as a gift for the Zuri Wine Tasting trip to Solvang/​Los Olivos. We were finally able to make time to use it… so I called and called and called, emailed, left messages and called some more… NOTHING for weeks. No responses, no «we’re out of town» or whatever greeting, and we don’t live close enough to their office to just show up not knowing if they’ll even be there. Not to mention, according to their website, there have supposedly been two full winery tour trips (with weeks in between) that have happened since I have been trying to get ahold of them (ours is for a self guided tour). So now my Groupon is expired, but I’m still hoping they would be willing to work with us and honor the expired groupon. We’ll see.
Edit: The owner finally got back to me here on Unilocal.She said they would be willing to honor the groupon and we are looking forward to taking the trip in Oct. :)

We had a great time on our wine tasting tour. only complaint is that the bus ride is very cold so bring a jacket… maybe even a blanket.

A group of us booked the Zuri Wine Tasting event February 22^nd to celebrate a birthday and purchased the VIP package that comes with a Zuri Wine glass and a t-​shirt. Upon check-​in I was informed that they did not have the size t-​shirts we needed in the style we liked and that they would be mailed to me. The day was fantastic and the trip was lots of fun. My favorite winery was in Saarloos and Sons in Los Olivos. My issue with Tuanni is that it has been 2 months exactly and I have not received the 3 t-​shirts. I remember when we were on our way back to the drop off spot and she said that if you have had an issue on this trip please give me the chance to make it right. She gave us her cell phone number and her email address. I have emailed her several times and she responds to each email, but has yet to follow-​through with the delivery. Well Tuanni, I have given you two months to make it right and now it is time for me to take it to Unilocal so that consumers are aware of your lack of follow-​up. We talked to Tuanni that day about hosting one of her in-​home wine tasting parties, unfortunately, with this level of service… or lack thereof… we will definitely have to pass.

Went on a wine tour and tasting today. Had a wonderful time. Would recommend this tour to all my friends.

My friend spoke with Tuanni regarding our recent issue. Tuanni recognized the error and agreed to reimburse us for the cab. She also offered passes to a wine tour. She was extremely apologetic and humble. We all make mistakes and my friend and I agreed that the situation could have been worse. It was an adventure nonetheless.

She came to my birthday party at my house. She brought 3 wines, cheeses, snacks and it was so much fun! The wines were amazing and re-​introduced me to my old favorite wine, Incredible Red. She also had fun games and was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for any occasion!

I had a wonderful experience with Zuri Wine Tasting when they headed to Santa Barbara for tasting at the Rideau vineyard. The ride was comfortable, the host was hospitable and the atmosphere was grand. I will be attending the Bacon & Barrells Food Fest and there will be no better host than Zuri Wine Tasting & Tours.

We hosted a wine tasting party at our home last weekend with Tuanni and Zuri Wine Tasting Service. We were looking to do something different with our friends and a wine tasting class sounded interesting.
We had good communication with Tuanni leading up to our event, and she was very flexible with us about setting our date. In all, she was awesome! She is very professional and knowledgeable and our entire gathering felt that we had learned very interesting and relevant information about wines and how to select them.
During the party, Tuanni taught us how to use our senses to determine the wines that we like (first with her Wine Enthusiast Aroma Education Kit) and then how to properly open up the wine in your glass to take in its aromas and taste. We learned about the different wines using her 2% Milk analogy (very helpful btw) and she also made helpful suggestions on where to buy bottles (they don’t have to be expensive; very nice wines for around $ 15 even at Trader Joe’s).
We would highly Tuanni and Zuri Wines for an in-​home party!

I recently took a trip to the Santa Barbara Vineteners Festival with Zuri Wine Tasting Service. It was my first time doing this so I really didn’t know what to expect but I was ready to undertake a new experience. From the moment I stepped on the luxury motorcoach I knew I was in for a real treat. Tuanni Price and her staff are knowlegeable and professional. On the drive up Tuanni gave us a lesson in wine tasting and made it fun! The bus was filled with a diverse group of friendly people. We played wine-​themed games, sampled a few different types of wines, listened to mellow jazz. The time flew by and before I knew it we were there. I felt confident when discussing my choices with the various vineteners and it was all because of the information I had received from Tuanni. I highly recommend Zuri Wine Tasting Service and look forward to not only attending another outing with them but to booking a wine tasting party with them as well.
Her tours sell out quickly so don’t hesitate too long!

What a great bus trip with fun people. We had a wonderful time visiting Rideau Vineyard in San Ynez. The owner and staff of Zuri were very gracious and personable. It was great to hear the history of wine making, the properties unique history and Iris was such a great host. The lunch and wine tasting was really nice also. I will visit again very soon.
The Olive House wine tasting was really entertaining and upbeat.
The ride was safe and fun.

I bought a living social deal from another company for private in home wine tasting instruction but of course they were booked for the next 2 months. I wanted do something unique with friends and Tuanni, owner of Zuri Wine Tasting Service, totally came to the rescue.
We did a flight of 3 reds with the 10 person package, at $ 150. She had a very nice set up. You keep the 3 wine bottles and left over snacks. There were a couple of prizes too for the games we played.
Everyone enjoyed the class, which included games and snacks to pair with each wine. I experienced a couple of wine tasting classes in the past and still learned something new. This services puts the Win in Wine party!

I must admit that I have been to more than a few of the Zuri Wine Tasting events and everyone seems to have something a bit different about them. Of course, the owner Tuanni provides the basics to wine tasting but I love how she treats the group equally. She doesn’t make anyone feel ashamed if they aren’t «wine snobs» or don’t know much about the different types of wine. She makes you feel welcomed and trust me before the end of the tasting everybody becomes your friend! I seem to learn something different each time I attend and the wine tasting along with the snacks are a bonus, yeah! Hey, maybe you’ll see me at one of her events.

This past Saturday I hosted 16 of my girlfriend to a wine tasting event. Tuanni (the owner) came out to my place with 4 different bottles of wine to taste. We played some fun and interactive games. The foods that she paired with the wine to bring out the flavor were delightful and I will be making a trip to Trader Joe’s for those Lemon Cookies. I was impressed with her services and would love to plan another function.

I love wine so I love Zuri Wine Tasting Service. Tuanni is very friendly and knowledgable and makes drinking fun!

Zuri in home wine class is a fabulous and in-​expensive way to bring friends together for a fun and casual evening of wine education!
Tuanni is well educated, well spoken and entertaining! Try it!

This was an awesome experience. I am definitely looking forward to experiencing Zuri Wine Tasting Service more in the future. Kudos to young productive african american women who are about business, and not about non sense.
Rideau… which is the winery ZWTS took us to via charter bus… is absolutely stunning, great service, and delicious wine. Their very best i the Reisling!
I heart Zuri Wine Tasting Service!

This was my first ever Wine Tasting experience, and to say that I was more than pleased is an understatement. I am a wine lover but a novice at the differences and complexities of wine. I walked away from this experience more knowledgeable as well as excited to put my new skills to use. The group was great, the cheese, chocolates and wines were amazing, Tuanni (the owner) was interactive and personable with everyone and her enthusiasm for wine is contagious. I recommend her for any and all of your wine tasting needs.

OK Party people, YOU should do this. Tuanni, the owner, is great. She came out to our place. We had a group of girls who are all wine lovers (we didn’t doubt that since we setup a wine group and all, but a little game we played confirmed that we all are wine lovers, but have very little knowledge of wine lol) So she taught us a lot in a very short amount of time. First off she brought three wines based on what we told her our preferences were. The best thing about the tasting was that at first the wines that we thought we liked were like um… ok…this is not good, but then she paired it with treats she brought. The first was a white riesling paired with the best lemon cookie ever and WOW the wine went from this is $ 20 crap to can I have the last drop please!
I would definitely do this again maybe on a girls getaway that she does also. You should check it out. She is about $ 15/​pp and well worth it. Lots of restaurant tastings are more expensive and not as fun or as personalized.
