This experience was awesome. It was such a friendly environment, the small group that participated really clicked and we had such a great time. I could say that we made some friends in this trip....we even went to have dinner with some of the groups after the tour.

Had a fabulous time on our Napa Wine Tour with Platypus Tours! We enjoyed all the stops the chose to take us and the variety of wines we tasted. Our guide, Gary Grossman, was wonderful! At first meet, he started the fun and easy-going vibe for the day. His knowledge of wine is impressive! I loved that he made us all feel valid in our personal opinions of the wines. We learned A LOT but we didn’t feel like we were being ‘taught’ - it was very organic. I highly recommend this tour. I’m looking forward to doing their Sonoma tour next trip!

We had a lovely day with a really fun group of first time Napa visitors just like us! The bus was comfortable for travel and our guide made it fun. The first winery, Backstage, was what we considered the best of all three stops. One note, we found that if you buy a bottle or two at any of the wineries, the tasting fee was waived. The requirements were slightly different for each but that seemed like a better deal than just paying a tasting fee. Each winery shipped as well, although Backstage again had the lowest shipping fee as well - win, win. We learned that you must get reservations and pay a fee for tastings at any winery if you book on your own anyhow, so this was a less expensive, no driving option. The lunch provided options for gluten free, dairy free people. The gluten free bread was really good - not just off the grocery shelf bread but like bakery gluten free bread. Water was also provided on the bus to keep people hydrated. Overall, a great day!

Very enjoyable wine tasting tour to three Napa Valley wineries. There were three couples in our group which made for an easy day with lots of time for questions and exploring. Jason was a wonderful host/driver and provided lots of information on the history of Napa. He selected three wineries for the day. Each had their own distinct characteristics and styles. We had a great time meeting fellow travelers and winery staff. The wine itself was pretty good too. Highly recommend taking a tour.

Tour guide was excellent. Good way to experience Napa. Small wineries we visited were awesome. Enjoyed their wine.

Kelly made a huge difference bringing strangers together and taking good care of us. She was available but didn’t hover over us. She asked the group what we wanted and made sure we were accommodated. We all loved Kelly and so appreciated our first wine tour to be so fun and knowledgeable!

Michael

We had rain and colder weather for the tour but Rob was prepared. We had a wonderful experience checking out smaller mom and pop style wineries while someone else did the driving. Would definitely book again!

We had a very good time. It wasn’t quite what we expected. Basically this is booking a bus ride to be taken to 3 different wineries and fed a well prepared boxed lunch. You will have to pay for your tastings or be prepared to spend at least double on wines to have those fees waved and everyone you meet expects a substantive tip. Plan on $800-1000 all in for 2 people taking home 4 bottles of wine. Maybe $600 if you buy no wine at all and give minimal tip for 2. We were very happy we did it, but would not it again.

Rob was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He picked excellent wineries for us. We particularly enjoyed the last winery, Andretti which was like visiting Tuscany. Our guide there Rod was very generous and it was the highlight of the day p
