We were in napa for our honeymoon and went on a platypus wine tour. Our guide was Sam who was great. We got to do tastings with the owners of 3 of the vineyards which was really cool. Sam made us a great lunch and showed us a great time. I couldn't recommend Platypus tours more. Well worth it. Jake

A great time had with Karl as our driver on our wine tour. Visited 4 wineries which I'm sure we would not have found on our own. Karl was very friendly and knowledgable not just about wine but also the napa area. Thank you!

Phil, our driver and guide, was a perfect gentleman and full of information about different vineyards and the history of the valley. We would have missed so much and probably not seen the great choices Platypus set up for us. Riding around in a very comfortable van made the day so relaxing and stress free. Definitely the way to travel.

The tour was outstanding. The tour guide customized the visits with the desires of the 10 people on the new 12 person bus. The tour guide, Ken, was highly knowledgeable along with being entertaining. Ken had a personal relationship with the owners and presenters in each of wineries. Ken greatly enjoys his job and the people that he takes on... More

She also prepared lunch at Tedessci winery. Lunch was a perfect combo of croissants and turkey or salami, quinoa salad and little muffins -... More

We had a lot of fun with Toni as our hostess. She was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about wines and vines. A shipping box is available for $10 for you to ship a case of wine home as you collect the wines throughout the day. I would recommend getting it if you are on the fence about... More

Our guide was DJ and we had a great day. Loved the feel of smaller, more intimate vineyards. Actually got to meet and talk to Owners at 2 of the 4 stops. This was our first ever wine tour, and although neither one of us are huge wine drinkers, we had a great experience.
