Couldn't recommend this trip more, our guide Kim, was super friendly, fun and knowledgeable. We had a small group of 12 of us. We managed to go to 4 different wineries, didn't feel too rushed and got to try a good amount of wine in each location. Plenty of wine was flowing all day, all snacks and lunches provided were delicious. A cheese platter was given mid morning and then a lovely picnic lunch was provided at a beautiful location. We were staying in San Francisco, and the coach can not pick you up from there, so we had to get the boat Vallejo Ferry port. The directions provided and instructions to get there are super easy too follow. We left San Francisco at 8:15am, and we were back there by 6pm, everything went smoothly. Thanks Platypus for providing a fun filled day, 100% recommend.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent Platypus Wine Tour of Napa. Andy was our guide and provided a wealth of history of Napa and wonderful detailed information about wine making. We felt like VIPs at each of the wineries we visited. We were not rushed at all. We would highly recommend Platypus, and if you are lucky enough to have Andy as your tour guide, you won't be disappointed.

We had an excellent experience on this tour through Napa Valley. A very knowledgable guide, Army, added a lot of fun and insight to the experience, and provided a very tasty lunch. We toured 4 wineries with several couples, and was very impressed with each. We were picked up in San Francisco (right on time!) and dropped at a ferry stop in Vallajo for a lovely ferry ride back. All instructions were very clear and detailed, and everything went off without a hitch or a worry. Many thanks, Platypus Tours!!
