4.00We enjoyed our tour of 3 boutique Napa vineyards. We were extremely fortunate to have shared our tour with a great group of fellow wine-ohs. There were 8 of us, which is a very manageable number of people for a tour. Our guide was Casey, he was a lot of fun and very informative, I genuinely believe he loves his job. The first vineyard was superb! Varozza Vineyard was precisely the experience we were hoping for! The vineyard was beautiful, charming and had a family style table for wine tasting. Diana owns the vineyard with her husband Jack, she was absolutely lovely! We never felt rushed and the wines were delicious, outstanding rose made from Cabernet grapes and I’m not big on rose! Stop two was Bennet Lane with Travis. The wines were really good and I really liked Travis. Bennet Lane had a completely different vibe, more of a professional feel on the inside, but the entrance had a gorgeous wisteria tree in full bloom and the garden area was lovely. Casey brought us a nice lunch to enjoy in the garden. Third stop was the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. I won’t publicly name the vineyard because times are tough. The gentleman who took us on the tour was a nice man with an incredible memory for names, but perhaps less of a continuous rapid fire quiz would have been better. There was another tour group there at the same time, so we spent most of the tour standing outside in the heat. Sadly, we didn’t like a single wine we had there. It was the only vineyard where we didn’t purchase wine. To each his own. I would absolutely recommend this tour, really good experience and extremely reasonable! The wineries change according to the guides, but I really hope you get to go to Varozza!!! ❤️

5.00This was our first time visiting California, and although it was a little colder than we expected, the wine tour was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide, James, was fantastic knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire experience fun and seamless. The group we spent Valentine’s Day with was wonderful, and it made the wine tastings even more enjoyable. The views were beautiful, the education about the wines was informative without being overwhelming, and overall it was such a fun and memorable experience. Highly recommend!
Highly recommend!!

5.00Our tour guide, Gary, was great! He took us to 3 different wineries and we had a great private tasting at each. Each winery was great and unique. Would highly recommend this tour. It was a great experience.
An exceptional tour!

5.00To preface this review, I do not consider myself an expert in wine and I often feel extremely ignorant at gatherings and restaurants where fine wines are served. That said, when I booked this tour, I expected it to be a very long lesson in humility--needless to say, it was not. The tour was, in fact, one of the most relaxing, fun, and valuable learning experiences I have ever had. My thanks to our knowledgeable, kind, and amicable tour guide, Andy, as well as to our wonderful guides at Rutherford, Backstage, and Bread and Butter for a truly memorable day spent with family and good company c:
Take A Load Off!

5.00Platypus Wine Tours blends beautiful scenery, thoughtful storytelling, and exceptional wine—without feeling rushed. Steve did a fantastic job helping us learn the heart behind each of the three vineyards—each smaller, family-owned, boutique style. We savored good wines and shared an abundance of laughter and conversation along the way. Plan on leaving not just with a few bottles of wine, but with amazing memories of a meaningful tour. Highly recommend if you want to take a load off and relieve the stress from setting up and paying for a tasting room experience, getting lunch, driving yourself, etc. Let Platypus Wine Tours handle all your cares!
