If you're in Napa or Sonoma contact these guys.
We took 2 tours with Platypus. One in Napa and one in Sonoma. Both were really good, concentrating mainly on small family-run wineries. Both guides (Casey and Steve) were very knowledgeable and kept the whole group entertained throughout the day. It's a great way to visit 3 wineries and relax knowing they will drop you outside your hotel on the way home.

Army was the best tour guide.
Army was the best tour guide. He was in communication with the wineries all day to provide the best experience for us. He even pivoted and added different stops to add to our experience.

Linda was a great guide.
Linda was a great guide. She took us to wonderful wineries that we enjoyed very much, Rutherford Ranch, Ghost Block and Back Stage. They were all different in a good way. The variety of the experiences made for a delightful day. We fed the goats, sipped among the vines, ate lunch on a patio, tasted from a barrel. Our group of eleven was the perfect size and it was great to meet other wine lovers from throughout the world. Thank you Linda and Platypus.

Our tour was great.
We had a fantastic experience on our wine tour. Our driver, Chris, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and he selected three outstanding vineyards for us to visit. We were also lucky to tour with Laurie, who works behind the scenes at Platypus and is a local to the area, which made the experience even more insightful and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

We loved our tour! Army is a 10/10!
We loved our tour!! We had a group of seven and everyone had a great time. Getting picked up and dropped off at our rental house really made the experience easy and enjoyable. The way the tour schedule was set up was perfect, enough time to enjoy each stop but not so long that we felt we were “waiting around.” Army was an excellent driver and guide - helpful, knowledgeable, and so fun! He had us laughing and smiling the whole trip. The provided lunch was delicious and a perfectly timed break between tastings. I absolutely recommend using Platypus when in the Sonoma area.

Wonderful guides.
Shuttle bus felt tight with a full group and A/C struggled during afternoon. But Courtney kept us laughing all day, chose 3 fantastic boutique wineries and the included lunch was fresh, so I was satisfied!

Thank you for spending the day with us and for the thoughtful feedback. We’re glad Courtney kept the fun rolling and helped make the experience memorable with a great mix of boutique wineries. We also appreciate the note about the shuttle comfort and A/C during a full tour on a hot day — that kind of feedback is genuinely helpful. Hope to see you back in wine country again soon!
