This was a great tour... - This was a great tour with Platypus. It was a small group, just 9 people. I really appreciated that. I was welcomed as a solo traveler. The three chosen wineries were beautiful. I appreciated the explanations at each. I loved that the wine maker greeted us at two of the places. They were small wineries that I would not have found on my own. It was a great day for a ride through the valley and our driver/guide, Gary, was friendly and knowledgeable

Amazing! - My bestie and I did this tour together and it was amazing! It was mostly couples but we still had so much fun. We were on a girls trip and love all things wine, so this was just amazing. Would definitely do again and absolutely recommend!!

Perfect for a solo traveler - This small group tour is perfect for a solo traveler. The tour guide/driver was fantastic. The wineries we visited were outstanding. Lots of fun facts and history were shared during the tour. While the price doesn’t include the tastings at each winery, we were given deep discounted rates, $25 each. A simple and delicious lunch was included as well as plenty of water during the day. The bus was clean and air conditioned.

Great trip with a great guide! - We had an amazing trip to three beautiful wineries in Napa Valley. Army, our tour guide, was full of valuable information about the area as well as the wineries we visited. We took lots of pictures including our group of 11! Platypus Tours reached our expectations and would highly recommend them. We actually took another tour with them to Sonoma and it was fabulous. Loved the picnic lunches and thanks for making day 2 lunch different!

My Recommendation - It was good we did it with a fun group it was on time. Out of the three wineries we visited Merryvale was the best great experience and they had the best wine selection, the other two not so great Ghost Block and Bread and Butter, we could’ve visited more appealing locations with better wine selection and experience overall I felt I didn’t get my money’s worth in those two, they were just very basic and the guide should know these things

Small group- Big experience!! - It was refreshing to go to some small wineries with amazing wine that we would not otherwise have experienced. Group size was perfect for socializing.

Good tour for learning about Napa - Good experience. Driver was very knowledgeable and we learned more about winemaking and Napa history. The reason we did not give it 5 stars is that we felt only 1 of the 3 vineyards we went to visit had good wine.

Would have liked more time and information about the wine crops and process - The tour was only about a wine tasting (extra cost) at the vineyards. The talks were quite interesting but none of the vineyard owners were wine growers, and the talks were confined to taste rather than growing expertise.
