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!!

Book it now, just do it. - I knew going to this tour I’d go to wineries that may not typically have tours open to the public. The first winery, Mayo was great. I’ve been to a few tours now and learned so much. The other girls on the trip were very knowable and asked great questions, it made the tour much more enjoyable. The second winery, we had lunch and met the winemaker himself. What an experience!! The final winery was a tasting that was casual which was nice and gorgeous. Army, our driver was hilarious and witty. He’s the absolute best. I wish I could take him home. Alas, the commutation of this tour company and busses exceeded my expectation. I would go on this tour again to visit more small wineries.

Sip Wine + have a Great Time (with Jason) - My husband and I came to Sonoma for our honeymoon and wanted to do a group wine tasting tour of the area. Our tour guide and driver, Jason, is a local to the area and took us to three incredible spots that were all very different and special to the region. We made friends with a lot of of the other patrons on the bus! It was fantastic getting to know everyone, learning more about wine & everything that goes into it like the growing conditions, the hard-working staff behind the scenes, different varieties, and so much more. I would recommend this lively tour to anyone who likes trying wine and having a great time.

Sonoma wine tasting - Richard was great, experienced and knowledgeable about the wine industry. He took us to three fun but very different vineyards. He was definitely entertaining as well. Thank you for a memorable wine tasting tour.

Great time! - It’s a fun and educational experience (if you choose). Prior to trip, if you have wine preferences (ie red over white wine), you should share them with the company so they are sure to meet your expectations.
