What To Expect

Napa Valley

Your tour will begin with pickup from your Napa Valley hotel. Where you are staying will define the tour region that you will be visiting.

Your tour guide will tell fascinating stories and share many interesting tidbits about local history, culture and wine making. This is not a smarmy or touristy activity.

Discover and savor new experiences tasting some of the world’s most celebrated wines.

Our driver/host, Kyle, was outstanding. He picked 3 different wineries that were all fantastic. The boutique wineries are my favorites. Kyle made the day trip fun and informative. Communication leading up to the trip was superb. Cecelia and Jenna with Platypus Wine Tours kept us updated via phone calls and text messages. Highly recommended.

Hey Raul: Thanks so much for your kind comments! I don't know if Kyle mentioned it, but he is an accomplished actor, and can be seen at stage productions around the Bay Area. He tends to bring a larger than life energy and enthusiasm to his tours and we are very lucky to have him on our team. It's so good to hear you loved the wineries he selected to show you that day; our guides take a lot of pride in the tour itineraries they put together. Also, Thanks for mentioning our reservations team! I am so pleased and grateful for the time and care they put into making sure all of our guests get on board with no confusion.

It was a good way to spend the day. They took good care of us , however some outside heaters would have enhanced the outside lunch.

Thanks for posting, Annette: Glad to hear you loved the tour, and very sorry to hear we allowed you to be chilly at lunch. More often our tours will picnic indoors on rainy days. Not sure why that didn't happen on your tour. I'll do my best to address that.

We had a wonderful time. The wineries chosen were absolutely perfect, and very unique. Our driver, army, was wonderful. I would definitely do it again.

We love working with Army. He has been guiding wine tours for us full-time for over fifteen years, and I would be very surprised if any tour guide in this whole region has more experience or better winery relationships than he does. We're so pleased to be working with him still after all this time, and it's great to hear that you so loved the backroads wineries he chose for you to visit that day. Thanks so much of posting, Mary Anne!
