Ultimate Sideways Wine Tour 

Rewatching ur epic sideways tribute. Its 2022 now. Almost 20 yrs ago. Maybe time for a reunion. Miles says, "please"

SIDEWAYS SUPER FANS!!!!

love how the Windmill "Days Inn" didn't change the carpet...I also can't read Andrew Murray without saying...well ok

Sideways is a perfect movie. There were two more books and it would be nice to see a sequel made.

Very well done 🍷

I just came across this video (I know, 7 years late) Love it. You did a great job. Made me smile and laugh. One of my Top 5 All-Time movies.

I would have loved to see the bowling alley, but the wineries were no doubt the very best scenes in the movie. Its almost my top 10 of all time. I drove from LA to see the Hitching Post and Windmill in 2014 after seeing Sideways a dozen times.Inside much smaller than on screen. All us wine drinkers enjoy. Loved your visit to the liquor store. Thumbs up!

After watching this I have a hankering for a steak and potato with a pinot noir. Yum.

Re-watching, again. It's 2023 Autumn Equinox. This never get's old. The attention to detail, location and camera angles are amazing. I'm thinking it must have taken you all month or so to get all the shots. Also, the final shot of the wedding between Jack and Christine that's in my hometown Montebello. The church is about half mile away. The whole length of your video is perfect for afterwork 2 glasses of chardonnay, pino grig, cab sauv, pinot noir....or dare I say merlot(I like the Coppola vineyard). Thanks again for creating this, living "sideways" and sharing this with the world.

Sideways is my favorite movie and I’ve seen it countless times. You did an impressive job of replicating the scenes and visiting the locations. This was a joy to watch. Well done and thank you! Cheers!

I know this was like 5 years ago wondering what it would be like in 2022 if they get to another one anyway I've noticed that you included everything including the fast food restaurant at the end good job and God bless

No better Sideways vid made. You and yours did excellent.

Omg u guys outdid yourselves. If we had a fan club, you'd be presidents for sure. So cool how the tenant shared an inside scoop with the pic. Great job, cheers! 🍷🤠

A lovely homage to one of the 21 century's greatest gems.

Great Video! I seen Sideways so many times it never gets old. I can't believe that you were able to find all of the locations that were in the movie. Incredible! I've always wanted to do this trip! Anyway great job and I enjoyed watching it.

Fantastic and well done! Our favorite movie too.

This was so great... I'd love to do this some day

Beautiful job ! Though I was a bit disappointed that you missed he scene where miles walks in on their activities !! Oh well ! 🤣

I applaud you, guys, wonderful concept and trip! So much envy :) Sideways is one of my fav movies of all time, hope to do similar journey one day.

We just came back from Solvang and went to Sanford and Fess Parker Wineries, then watched the movie. That was very cool that you recreated all the scenes. What was funny is got gas at that Shell Gas Station and paid $5.24 per gallon, in the movie it was $1.91 per gallon! Whoa!

Outstanding Job...Makes me want to book a trip out there again.....

Thank you for making this video. I believe that when we hit midlife, we can all see ourselves somewhere within Miles and Jack. The acting, setting and music really make this movie work. I make a point to view it once a year. Being a guy living in the midwest (Ohio) and beginning to (thaw out) from the pandemic your tour is a bright spot in order to get moving in life, again. Well wishes.......cheers!

Awesome video!!! Always enjoy seeing filming locations. Thanks for not running at us naked in the street.

Thanks for the trip home. I lived in Solvang for ten years and left two weeks before filming began, I knew Mr. Parker and Louis Lucas of Lucas/Lewellen. Played tennis with both. Mike Brown, a good tennis player and owner of a new winery Kalyra, asked i would do a painting of the Outback, Mike is from Australia, for his label. I still have a copy of it in my portfolio. Whenever I get homesick I watch the movie. You should have taken a side trip to El Rancho Market. Best meat department on the West Coast. I think I'll watch the movie one more time.

Trivia: The Red Saab convertible which was a big part of the movie was up for sale. I contacted the owners and they confirmed it had sold.

I'M SO GLAD you included Pat Travers' famous "Snortin' Whisky, Drinkin' Cocaine" tune....YES..!!!!

Before I die..I have to do this.Thanks for this video

Many thanks! I am still haunted by Giamatti's soliloquy in honour of pinot. Brilliant movie!

We just came back from there a week ago. Wish I had seen this vid before we left. Ha! I've always been interested in these movie location vids. Great job! (Did they really build an entire condo complex around that giant tree? If so, kudos to the the architects.)

what an awesome trip! Definetly something I want to do some day!

Excellent!

Just watched this. So cool. It's my favorite movie of all time and the books are great as well. My fiancè and I love wine touring and have been planning and hoping to do this for our honeymoon one day. Saving money for now all the way from Pennsylvania.

Watching this movie right now actually. Love it!

Only saw the movie about a 100 times. This video just inspired me to go up this weekend :)

Immediately after I saw this movie I wanted to go to California and take the same route and experience the same wines. The movie just struck a chord with me and reminded me of my college days and trips with a couple buddies. Now years later and after seeing the movie at least a dozen times over the years, I enjoy the movie more but I'm even less capable of making it happen. So when I saw your trip I was thrilled beyond measure. I was able to experience it through you guys, and I can not express how much I enjoyed the fact you shared your trip. You fused it so well with images from the film. Thank you so much!

Great job. You four really did your homework. I felt like I was revisiting the movie again watching this. Your re-enactments made me laugh. Cammie's house. Seriously!!! Also, the music scoring was great. Keep on.

Wow! You did an awesome job on your video!!! I like how you recreated all of the scenes so accurately. 👌🏻👍🏻

Pretty impressive hitting that many spots. You guys really did your homework.

That was awesome!!

damn, and we thought we did good by hitting up Solvang, Windmill and Hitching Post recently. You guys killed it!

Thanks for taking us along. Looks fun and relaxing!!!

Ok, be honest...how long had you talked about doing this before actually doing it- not since "04?? You guys are geeks! I am too, I watched to the end, a little jealous. Ha Love the PT Band part 🎸 Well done 🍷😎

I smiled through this whole video! Looked like such a great time, well done!

Wow!!! That was awesome guys! I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent job

Neat video.

Awesome. Believe me or not, I went to high school with Thomas Haden Church, then Tom Quesada, in Harlingen, Texas. A couple of years ago, I went on a work trip to the Santa Maria area, and did make the pilgrimage to as many of the locations as possible. Best work trip ever.

I LOVE this...!!! 💙💙💙

Triple thumbs-up!!! We LOVE THIS movie and visiting the SYV!! You guys did an AWESOME job!!! We've visited most of the places on here but you guys took it to whole other level, WOW!!! Simply amazed! We'll be back in Solvang next week, watching this got me more excited! Great job putting it all together!!! 👍👍👍😊😊😊

Awesome !

Thanks for this video! So cool to see all the iconic places revisited.

this is legendary! Amazed by some of the locations you found!

You killed it. Thanks

One of my favorite movies. Awesome video!

Excellent rendition and compilation of Sideways. Like the movie, I didnt want your video to end. Looks like you had a lot of fun putting this together too. Great job!

“Im not drinkin’ fuckin merlot!”

My wife and I vacationed just north of the Sideways wine tour area, but she didnt want to go. Argh!

Awesome video! I only did half of what guys did. I went to San Luis Obispo and drove from there. Hopefully I can go back and visit the places I could not the first time. Keep enjoying life and traveling!

Beautiful video. Reflective.

I truly enjoyed your video! I will be visiting the area soon and would love to do the Sideways tour also. Thanks so much! It brought back so many memories from the movie!

Wow, you guys really did your research *and* had fun. Thanks for sharing!

This is awesome. Great job!

That was rad. Thank you!

Awesome... Thank you

This was great! I have been out there several times...Mainly Napa/Sonoma at first. But after Sideways, I started hanging in the Central Coast more and more.. This really made me smile. My wife has NEVER been to wine country, and Im breezing her through Napa/Sonoma and headed south to the Sideways area...again! My bet is she'll like it better there. Napa way too busy these days. Pretty, but I am more in tune with Santa Ynez and Santa Maria Hills. Thanks of this video!

I got Netflix DVDs for my folks (in their 80s and used to love to go to theaters but not now..thanks Covid! ). It’s been fun to pick out movies and send to them...they just got this..I’m not sure if they have seen but def one of MY favorites! Thanks😀

Awesome video!

Love your video . We just spent the day in Buellton and Solvang. Did hit up ALL the places you did but enough to have a great time. Love this movie so much!

This is great! Whoever planned this must be really smart. I've been to Solvang before. I didn't like their wines or food. Very touristy. Santa Barbara or Agua Dulce has much better wines.

How good would it be to do this tour with the cast! Love this video you put together

I love this video. Great job!!

Well Done!

Amazing! A Fantastic idea for a beautiful film! Heroes!

Nice job I'm sure that was fun!

I Love Solvang! Been going since I was a little kid when my Parents would take us. I'm 46 now, married with two kids. Solvang will always have a special place in my heart. Even more now because my Father in law passed away WHILE we were out there Dec 2018! So sad! :( Nonetheless, I love it there, I absolutely love the movie and holy crap you nailed it with all the spots! How in the heck did you find all these places?! You must have an inside connection lol 👏🏻 I thought I Loved the movie but you took it to another level! Love it! - Thank you 💯

Wow wow

👏👏👏👍👍Great job! Funnest wine tour ever.

Great video. I love the movie too and would like to check out some of the sites. Looks like you all had a great time finding everything. Fun to watch!

This was excellent. We did a similar tour a few years ago, and it brought back wonderful memories. Thanks so much.

This was well worth watching, you must've had an absolute blast during your time in the Santa Ynez Valley. One of my all-time favorite movies, never get tired of watching it. Wife and I have made this a bucket list location for sure. Oh, thanks for keeping your pants on during the shot at Cammi's house. You guys nailed pretty much every detail up to that point, so when I heard Snortin' Whiskey and saw your car crossing the tracks, I was like...uh-oh, are they gonna go there? :) Out of curiosity, which place had your favorite food & wine? If you had to recommend just one restaurant, where is it? I'm gonna guess the Hitching Post II, but maybe you found a hidden gem. Thanks again for posting and take care!

Great job, guys. That's what I call a pilgrimage!

Good good we love it there! Were last there in June 2016. They're renaming the Days Inn, where the windmill is, the Sidways Inn!!

Wow, I take my hat off to you four. This is, like you guys, my favourite movie. Absolutely beautiful

this is marvelous! thanks so much for posting your efforts. I read the book several years ago. I have seen the movie several times. watched it again recently and wondered what might have happened to that tree or was that wallet grab crack house ever rehabilitated? mystery solved as of 2016 :)

Not too long into the video I thought, what the heck? There's someone else out there who found all these locations too?!! The on-ramp in SD. The walnut orchard. Maya's house! One I couldn't find was the coffee shop/bakery depicted in the film as near Miles' place, where Miles got the spinach croissant. Do you have that location?

I am amazed that you found so many scene locations. You must have had an insiders help. LOL

7:48...ha-ha-ha ....LOL....😆😅

Love, love, love it! I live in Wales, UK and have two small kids so this trip is pretty impossible. However I would love to do it and you guys have taken me as close I'm likely to be without being there. Outstanding work! Such dedication to the cause of Sideways.

Bravo Bravo Bravo! This here is amazing work! It must have taken you lots of planning to be able to do all this. Sideways is truly an underrated film. One of my top 5 favorite films of all time. I did a similar pilgrimage back in 2011. Were you able to find Stephanie's house and Maya's apartment? I tried to look for the bowling alley but learned that it got demolished. Never went to Mile's apartment because I didn't know where it was 9 years ago, I researched it and learned that The Sea Crest Apartment is actually in Santa Barbara and Mile's mother's house is in Goleta CA. Wanted to find the bench where Miles recited the quote "I'm like a smudge of excrement surging out to sea...." but didn't know where and couldn't find the location of where the famous tree is either. I dined at all four restaurants in the movie, but didn't know where the Denny's was. I also went to that Hamburger joint where Miles savored his treasured blanc wine 61' Château Cheval Blanc. Got to see and took some pictures inside room #234. I also went to the Santa Ynez Valley Hospital where Jack received his medical care. I went to the Armenian Church in Montebello as well and took some pictures. I will always treasure this movie.

"Ultimate" is right! No one is gonna beat this one! Well done! I've done two tours already but there is one location I'm not sure about. The breakfast on the way up. Pretty sure it's a Dennys in Oxnard. Any clue? Thank you!

As I San Diegan I disappointed when I found out the burger place was in Santa Maria. I envisioned it somewhere on El Cajon Blvd and his apartment is in Goleta of all places. A block from where my sister owned a store in the 90's

Very fun to watch this! Pure dedication...

you are my kind of people ...I have dissected the tour and surrounding wineries and towns for many years now. my favorite event is the annual Sanford pinot blending and lobster fest event every year in may ... epic. its a members only event but if your interested I can get you in.

Hey guys! We are pretty passionate about the movie as well! We even bought a Saab just like the one in the movie and still own it 😊. Any thoughts on getting together for the twenty year anniversary? I communicated with Rex and he’s still on the fence but we can make it happen! Thoughts?

I do love this vid its superb. But man does that guys beard grow quickly at Fess Parker...

Hope you didn't have to run from Slovang to Buellton, that's five clicks Jackson! F**king A right it's five clicks! Lol

10:17....ha-ha-ha..LOL....😅😆

I'll sub just for the effort it took to do this. I was just watching clips to have a laugh, yes a great movie and performances all around. I watched many, many times when I had it on the DVR. Was any merlot consumed?

How awesome! My absolute favorite movie. My brother and I were out there for the first time in November 2015 for three days from New York -- stayed in the same room, hit several of the same wineries (LOVED the barn setting at Foxon), partied and shot pool until the wee hours at the Clubhouse Lounge (where I played "Two Tickets to Paradise" incessantly on the jukebox LOL), and couldn't get enough of the Hitching Post! We're hoping to get back there again this Fall! Thanks for this video -- it's fantastic! :)

I’m so jealous
