I was only in Napa Valley for a day so I wanted to make the most out of my day there. It was impossible to figure out which vineyard to visit because there's so many in Napa Valley + I didn't want to visit commercial vineyards. Having read the amazing reviews on tripadvisor, I decided to join the platypus tour.... More

I was a first-time visitor to Wine Country and only had one day to enjoy it! So glad we took a Platypus tour. Extremely accommodating and focused on making your day special. Very yummy snacks and lunch.

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!!

Highly recommend taking a private wine tour with Platypus - ask for David! We had a wonderful experience. David was very knowledgable about the area and the vineyards. Being a winemaker himself he was so informative. We toured Caymus, Sequoia, Honig and Alpha Omega. I was not impressed with either Sequoia or Honig as the other 2 the staff was... More

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
