What To Expect

Sonoma Valley
Your tour will begin with pickup from your Sonoma area hotel. Depending on where you are staying will define the tour region that you will be visiting. If your accommodations are outside of the winery region, you can arrange to meet us a general meeting spot. You’ll visit three charming, backroads wineries and be served a picnic lunch in an idyllic winery setting. 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. Our specialty is intimate, light-hearted and truly memorable. This tour is sure to entertain with a very approachable and easy-going style. Discover and savor new experiences tasting some of the world’s most celebrated wines. Our typical guest is not necessarily a wine expert but keen to learn a bit about wine and wine-making, and is open to sharing the experience with a few other like-minded wine adventurers.

What an awesome experience! This tour was the highlight of our trip. We were taken to 3 smaller, scenic vineyards and had a tasting at each. Platypus works to either have the tasting fee lessened/or if you buy a bottle have it waived entirely. We learned so much from our tour guide Khris, as well as had a blast hanging out with him! We are recommending to everyone.

Hooray! Thanks for posting, Madalyn. Being the highlight of your trip is about the highest compliment you can pay to us. Yes, we still work actively to secure discounted tasting fees and generous fees-waived-with-purchase policies for our Join-in tour guests from any wineries who are willing to work with us on this. And yes, Chris Largent is a magnificent tour guide, which really should go without saying by now, but...there it is. We all hope to see you again one day soon!

Easy pick up and drop off. Reasonably priced wine (note tasting fees are waived if you buy bottles). If you are looking to discover small wineries you might not discover on your own then go with Platypus. For CoVid conscious masks are not required (the choice to wear one is left up to you).
