I have some very high level requirements including private tastings since we had 13 in our group, off the beaten path, with the level of experience from novice to expert and Shawnda was able to put together a fabulous 2-day experience for my international group of friends. Platypus also recommended the perfect hotel, called Napa River Inn. The Platypus team... more

Our wine tasting tour with driver Kevin was outstanding. His knowledge of the area and wine is incredible. He had a wonderful sense of humor. As promised by their brochures, the tour was personalized to our group, myself in particular. The first thing Kevin did as we all got on the bus was ask us what kind of wine was... more

I highly recommended Platypus Tours for their wonderful tasting they gave us and they way we were pampered. We were lucky to have Dave who greeted us with a smile and introduced us to other people on our tour as we each were picked up. He immediately reviewed our experience in tasting, likes and dislikes in wines and then designed... more

If I could choose one place where when I landed in the airport, it felt like it just clicked it would definitely have to be California. My boyfriend and I knew we wanted to get out the city and head to Napa for a full day. So we asked all around about tours to different vineyards, and booked a trip... more

I was in Napa for a conference and wanted to take some clients out for some wine tasting. I had used Platypus in the past and had a great time, so I decided to use them again. I'm glad I did. Our tour guide, Shawnda, did a superb job of herding cats, keeping us entertained, supplied us with appropriate libations... more

When my husband and I arrived in Napa, we were a bit overwhelmed. There are so many wineries to choose from, we didn't know where to start. We were so glad we decide to take a Platapus tour. Our tour guide, Scott, was not only very knowlegable, but lots of fun. The day was planned out perfectly and we were... more

this is the way to tour wineries, Dave was outstanding, he knows his stuff and he genuinely enjoys meeting new people. The lunch was very tasty and healthy to boot. more

It was great to explore the Napa Valley via Platypus. Kevin was very knowledgable and helpful throughout the day. We started with a small grower who gave us the fundamentals as we walked through the vines and went to 3 others that enabled a great education on the process. Even including stomping and sampling grapes/wine at various stages. Highly recommend. more
