FAQ

Small-Group Wine Tours are perfect for first time visitors who don’t know which wineries to visit, or those who want a day thoughtfully designed for them, regardless of their experience with wine. There’s no planning required, we handle all the details. It’s an authentic wine country experience that’s shared with a few other like-minded wine adventurers.

Private tours are best if you have specific wineries you want to visit or if you want the day to be centered on your preferences or your group.

Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, & Sonoma County offer three distinctly different experiences. The primary difference on a small-group tour with Platypus is the wine varietals you’ll taste. In all three regions, we focus on smaller, boutique-style wineries that are rich in character and in experience. Napa Valley is known for Bordeaux varietals like cabernet sauvignon and merlot as well as sauvignon blanc. Both Sonoma Valley and Sonoma County offer more Rhone varietals like syrah as well as pinot noir, chardonnay and zinfandel. Where you are staying can be a factor in which region you tour.
