Inside Platypus Tours – Meet Don Rickard, Platypus-in-Chief

May 30, 2012 | Blog, Driver Spotlight, Inside Platypus Tours Video Series

Check out the latest installment of the “Inside Platypus Tours” video series posted on our YouTube Channel.
In this video “Inside Platypus Wine Tours – Meet Don Rickard; Platypus-in-Chief “ you can learn all about how Platypus Wine Tours came to be, get to know our fearless leader Don (isn’t he handsome?), what makes us and our tour guides different, and why we are known as the anti-wine snob wine tour!
Cheers!
