Great tour! Our guide Dave was knowledgeable, fun and accommodating. Enjoyed the vineyard tours and tastings. Highly recommend it!

Mary_V

My friend and I signed up for this hoping to be introduced to some wineries in the area and we were not disappointed. We thought Andy did a very good job driving, informing us, giving us a history of the area, providing us with lists of places to eat or visit in the region... the three wineries we visited were perfect and lunch was delicious and plentiful. We'd do this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wine tour. They go all over so call and ask about the place you'd like to visit!

We had a wonderful day! The 3 tastings were relaxed, informative and fun. Our driver Linda was very knowledgeable of Napa and Sonoma.

Dave is a great guide, sharing useful information and local history. The choice of vineyards was very good. Highly recommend.

Wonderful day! This was our 2nd Platypus tour in 5 months - guides are knowledgeable and fun, wineries are boutique with reasonably priced tastings. This is a good deal, and a great way to see 3 wineries and not drive!

Went on this tour for our sister's trip. It was so great. Got to meet with the winemakers and learn the processes along with tasting some great wines.

AngelaK_D

We had a wonderful time touring Sonoma! Dave was awesome and took us to four different wineries. This was our first time visiting wine country for my 40th Birthday. Platypus tours made this experience super fun and relaxing. Show up, drink wine and have fun!

Excellent experience! Great wine and Army was a wonderful guide. He is well versed in all that we wanted to know about the area and wine making.

This was a great experience. The first stop that we made was very educational, which set the stage for the rest of the tour. Some locations felt like a business transaction while some locations lacked a little bit of pizzazz. Overall, this trip was very awesome though.

Heidi_K

Linda I worked tour guide was terrific she was very knowledgeable about the wineries. Even on a rainy day we managed a terrific afternoon . The folks on board we just had a blast. If you purchase wines and are flying home you cannot carry them on board the plane.
