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.

The small group tour of Sonoma wineries is terrific. Our tour guide Army was excellent and was extremely knowledgeable about not only the wineries and Sonoma, but also about the wines. It is a lot of fun and you can drink as much or as little as you like. I also learned a lot about wine making, growing grapes, and tasting. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and Army was nice enough to drop us off in downtown Napa to save us an Uber. Well worth the money.

Army is indeed an extraordinary tour guide. Most of our guides have been with us for several years or more (I'm so pleased to say!), but Army is the longest-standing tour guide at over twelve years. I think this matters a lot, since there are so many nuances and long-cultivated personal connections that make the difference to providing extraordinary experiences for our guests, time after time. There is no one better at this work than Army is, and I'm grateful you posted about him, Chris! Please come see us again; we'll show you all different wineries next time!

My wife and I had an awesome experience with Andy touring Sonoma wineries. Andy was way more than a tour driver, he was a gracious host and wealth of knowledge for all things related to wine, Sonoma, and Napa. Andy is also the author of a wine tasting book called the Snob Free Wine Tasting Companion which we purchased multiple copies as gifts for family. Highest recommendation for Platypus Tours, and especially request Andy as your guide, you won’t be disappointed!
