Tour pleasant and full of good wines. - Steve is a very pleasant Guide, and knows the area quite well, he makes the tour quite enjoyable full of anecdotes from the area. Congratulations Steven.

Fantastic wine tour - We visited three wineries, it was a beautiful day, one of the best was Notre view, that was by far my favorite winery and what a view. We enjoyed the entire six hours immensely. I would recommend it to anybody.

Cheers to Sam! - The wineries were wonderful and the wine was delicious! It is clear Sam our driver had relationships with each of the winemakers which made each stop informative and special. We absolutely loved our day and would recommend the experience to anyone! Especially recommend Sam—great driver, great humor, great host for the day!

Amazing Small Group - Amazing experience with Platypus Tours. It was a fabulous small groups tour experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing tour of North Sonoma! - My wife and I came to Napa for a long weekend to have fun before I began a business trip and were so glad to find Platypus Tours. We previously had taken their Napa Valley winery tour and loved it so wanted to use them again to see Sonoma. We didn’t want to rent a car so finding a tour that would pick us up at the Napa hotel and drive us for the day was exactly what we were looking for since Sonoma isn’t real close by. We were met promptly at 0945 at our hotel (Springhill Suites) by our guide driving a fair-sized bus. Our guide was Army and he was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgeable about wine and the region but also kept us all laughing throughout the day with his sense of humor. We drove around and picked up several other groups and then got started. I think we were scheduled to see 3 wineries but Army threw in a fourth as well so we went to: Mayo, Deerfield Ranch, Wellington and lastly Ty Caton. All of these locations were very different from one another, but the highlights for us was the amazing Zinfandel Port at Mayo, the huge wine caves at Deerfield Ranch and the quality of the wine at Ty Caton. While we were at Deerfield Ranch for our second stop we had prepackaged lunches that Army brought in from the bus and had a great wine tasting and lunch in the caves. Army did a great job driving, talking to us about the region as well as setting up all the tastings. Our hosts at the wineries were all excellent and really tried to cater to what we liked and didn’t like. The drive back from Sonoma to Napa was about an hour and Army stopped so we could buy snacks and took great care of us. At the end of the day, he offered to either drop us off downtown Napa or take us to the door of our hotel which was a really nice touch. Everything about the day was great from logistics, lunch and our guide Army. There was a wifi issue that resulted in a few extra charges to my credit card, but Platypus rectified it the next day and called me to explain the overcharge and subsequent refund quickly. This was the second Platypus tour we took that week and really enjoyed both. Highly recommend this tour group!

BEST $ I’ve spent in a long time - We had a great time and so thankful we booked this tour. Pick-up and drop-off are just a start. We got so many “extras” at the hand-picked amazing wineries we visited thanks to Platypus. We toured some beautiful properties, learned a lot about wine making and tasting, and it was a perfect day! Felt like a VIP at every stop. Will book again and again with Platypus. They keep a list of wineries you have visited and won’t take you to the same ones on your next visit. Made great friends with the other folks on the tour. I’ve booked a lot of things on Viator. This was my favorite of all!

Local Sonoma At Its Most Personable - Sam is truly the perfect guide if you want to understand and connect with real Sonoma winemaking. Engaging, funny, and informative, he brings the history, science, and art of winemaking to life by sharing his connections with three low-volume high-quality vintners in a way that made the day one of our most memorable and enjoyable in a very long time!

Great experience - Such a fun experience. You board the bus with strangers and make friends by the end day. We visited 3 wineries all of which were well prepared to host guests. Lovely atmospheres at each location. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the process of wine making which made the trip more interesting. Definitely recommend.

Tour visiting Santa Rosa wineries - It was such a fun day with great wines. Great value for the price! The tour guide was very informative and upbeat. Lunch was great. If you enjoy great wine and making new friends it’s a wonderful tour! Very fun!

Fun group outing in Sonoma - Fun group, one of the three wineries was fantastic and would definitely go back to visit . The other two were only ok and not worth the tasting fees. Our tour went over 2 hours longer than stated so plan for flexibility in your evening plans. Tour bus was in ok condition and seating was tight for the size group we had.
