We recently went on a wine tour with Platypus Wine Tours and enjoyed every single moment. Scott, our guide, was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. He also prepared some seriously good lunch for us. The wineries were well chosen and we never felt crowded. It was a highlight of our trip and we recommend them highly. More

What a great tour. Karl, our tour guide took us to some small friendly winery's where we were told about the processes involved in wine making and tasted some fantastic wines. This is the tour for those looking for a relaxed friendly day out. What a great day, thanks guys More

Our B&B (1801) recommended Platypus tours and we thought it sounded fun. They set it up for us and all we had to do was walk out the front door at 10 am and they picked us right up. Our driver/planner/tour guide/man with a plan, was great! We picked up a few more people and then he asked who had... More

We had a very diverse group and DJ our guide handled it with class and made it fun for everyone. 10 people from 5 different countries. All but 2 spoke good english, and DJ included us all in everything. Small wineries, big wines. I recommend Platypus and DJ. More

It was fun to learn about the area from our driver who was informative and funny. We went to several wineries, each different from the other. We weren't expecting much of a lunch and were pleasantly surprised about the nice presentation and the pool side table. The passengers on the van were friendly but quiet at first. As the day... More

I have been on a couple of wine tours in Napa and this particular tour is by far the best. Our driver Toni is the absolute best! She was personable, humourous and most importantly very knowledgable of the Napa area as well as the wine industry as a whole. The tour was from 10-5 with an hour for a pre-prepared... More

We went to 4 great wineries, different and all with fantastic wine. I would definitely use Platypus again (and we did... More

My sister-in-law and I used Platypus Wine Tours at the start of May and had great experiences. Carl toured us through Napa the first day and seemed to know absolutely everything about the area. He picked great small wineries for us to tour, and had chocolates and snacks for us throughout. I was very happy they were able to accomodate... More
