Platypus Wine Tours

We loved our Platypus Wine Tours on Friday in Napa and Saturday in Sonoma. It was a great opportunity to visit smaller family-owned wineries, get special tastings (and attention!) and be safely driven around the areas. Our guides Rob and Kelly were extremely knowledgeable and eager to balance teaching us and facilitating the party each day. Would absolutely recommend!

We spent a wonderful day in Napa with Platypus. They took us to a few hidden gem, family owned vineyards. The wine was fantastic and our driver/tour guide Linda was informative and LOTS of fun. I would highly recommend taking their tour if you are in the area.

We had a wonderful experience with Platypus. That was our first time in Napa Valley. Rob was the best tour guide, very knowledgeable, informative and funny. We really enjoyed the tour and we will definitely recommend your company to others.

Must do tour, don’t hesitate and book it. Jason was the best tour guide, driver, lunch provider, photo taker and all around person. He had great knowledge about wines and the wineries in general. The five of us from Michigan truly enjoyed our day with him and with all the new friends from MO, IL, FL. Such a fun experience and it was so nice to let someone else do the driving. We did 3 stops, ($25 per stop for tasting) all picked out and arranged by Jason. All three were wonderful and the day just got better and better.

We had an amazing experience with Platypus Wine Tours! Our guide, Casey, was absolutely fantastic. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly fun, which made the entire day so enjoyable. Casey curated a great lineup of wineries that showcased the best of Sonoma, each with its own unique charm and character. On top of that, he’s an excellent photographer! He made sure to capture some great photos of our group throughout the day, which was such a nice touch. The tour was well-organized, the wineries were top-notch, and Casey’s energy truly brought the experience to life. If you’re looking for a memorable wine tour, we highly recommend Platypus!

Had a great time! Awesome hospitality very welcoming. Great way to meet new people and hear their stories. The lunch provided was great especially the quinoa salad. Went to really nice location with amazing wine. Bought wine from every location. Definitely recommend using them.

Went on tour with Gary to the northern Napa region and visited 3 small family wineries. Gary was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were part of a lively group with 2 other couples from Idaho and Pennsylvania and a family from Belgium. This was our third trip with Platypus the first 2 being 10 years ago all great stops. Definitely recommend.
