The choices of boutique... - The choices of boutique wineries changes all the time, but the 3 that Casey chose were perfect. We went in a Monday so it was much quieter and more relaxed. It felt like we were on a VIP tour

Great tour! - We visited three wineries; the guide, James, was very kind and approachable. The wineries themselves were charming, staffed with friendly people, and offered delicious wines.

Russian River Wine tasting - Greg was a great guide. Did a wonderful job with some cranky old folks. The tastings were great as well as the lunch. Would definitely do it again.

Round 2 - My second time with Platypus (first time was over in Napa). Our guide was very educational and funny, so were the tastings. Also, the team was very easy to communicate with and readily accommodated my dietary requests. Will probably come back for the third time.

Sonoma Fun! - We had the BEST time on our Sonoma Valley wine tour with Platypus. We really appreciated Stephen's wit and knowledge of wines and the places he took us. What a fun experience and we will continue to use Platypus tours as they are hands down the greatest company. Thanks!

Relax and enjoy the experience - We had a great time on our Sonoma tour. Gary was the best guide and all the winreries were excellent. I was hesitant at first since we didn’t know which wineries we would go to but all were a wonderful surprise. Gary made everything easy, I would do this again and highly recommend.

The perfect experience - Gary of Platypus Wine Tours put together an amazing day. After picking us up at our hotel, we saw beautiful parts of Sonoma and the Russian River Valley as we made our way to 3 very different vineyards. There were 8 of us on the tour (the bus could have fit 16 at most). The bus was comfortable and seemed new. Gary provided us with tons of water, lunch,and the perfect amount of education and humor about tasting and enjoying wines. The vineyards were gorgeous and the wines delicious. I would 100% do another Platypus wine tour given the opportunity!!
