A friend and I were in town for our very first trip to Napa. Greta was our tour guide and she was great. It was basically a tour of the region and then we spent a relaxing day touring small vineyards up valley. The lunch of sandwiches hit the spot and the cheese plate was fun. We had a little... More

Spent the day yesterday touring 4 vineyards. Our guide, Alison was awesome-very well informed and made great recommendations of places to tours as well as allowing me to pick vineyards. Lunch was perfect as well as the snacks and water along the way! I will definitely use Platypus again and recommend my friends ask for Alison!!

Toni Barnes helped convert a near disastrous sales trip to the vineyards into a great one. When the caterer screwed up our order, she immediately got out some cheese and crackers to keep everyone happy. She was full of information and got us to our appointments on time. Thanks Toni!

We had a great trip with a group of about 20, in town for a wedding. We visited 3 wineries in Sonoma, the tour was from 10am till about 415. The first winery was imagery, really cool. The second was Benzinger, which was my favorite because we had a little tram tour of the vineyard and wine caves. The third... More

We had a great time. Pete our driver and tour guide took us to some unique wineries and was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend the experience for anyone wanting to have a great time and learn about wine without any stuffy high society attitude. It was a blast!

My husband and I went on a Platypus tour several months ago and we both had a great time so...We decided to do it again just this past weekend. I have to say this experience was even better then the last. Our tour guide "Sam" was professional, knowledgeable and quite funny too. The mixed group consisted of a very fun... More

We had a wonderful time on our winery tour with Scott. He was so informative and lots of fun. We went to some great wineries and the lunch was superb! The other people on our tour were lots of fun too. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun experience in the Napa Valley.

On our first trip to the Napa Valley area, we were guided to Platypus Tours by our new friends at the Hennessey House. We were picked up at our B&B and spent the day touring 4 boutique wineries in the area. Our guide (Sue) picked 4 wonderful destinations where we were treated very well. Not only did we get to...

We went to four Wineries and tried all different types of wine. Everybody was... More
