REVIEWS
At 8,035 five-star reviews and counting, we are far and away the most highly rated wine tour company in the region (perhaps the whole country, even…).
EXPERIENCE
We’ve been at this for more than twenty years, collecting experience, fantastic tour guides, and great relationships with wineries.
REPEAT GUESTS
Perhaps our greatest honor is that nearly one in five Platypus reservations comes from guests who’ve been out with us one or more times previously. We certainly hope to impress you enough to want to come see us again, too!
GUEST COMMENTS
“Guide’s personal connections really made the difference!”
“GREAT TOUR! My group could not have been happier or more impressed. Our guide was amazing! He had some personal connections at our stops that really enhanced our experience. The places we were guided to were out of the way wineries we would have never found on our own. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!”

Must do!

Perfect bachelorette day!
“We had a wonderful time using this tour bus for my sister’s Bachelorette party. Our tour driver was absolutely fantastic. Every winery we saw was unique in its own way and gave us a wonderful day exploring Napa. What’s even better, our guide offered to be our photographer for the day. With 6 girls visiting from out of town to celebrate the upcoming wedding, pictures were a must and she was there for us every step of the way.”

Yet another awesome tour
“We’ve taken four tours with Platypus and they have always exceeded our expectations with amazing experiences! They don’t shuffle you from tasting room to room, or to uninspired run of the mill wineries- they choose (after hearing your interests) unique EXPERIENCES that you rave about to your friends when you get home. ”
Renee V. – Ashburn, VA – Yelp
We loved our winery itinerary!
“A+ and well-run all around. Our tour coordinator reached out and traded texts helping us book an itinerary that was consistent with the experience we wanted. The day we had was relaxed but organized, and the wineries were exactly what we wanted. We had just a lovely day. Follow up and communication were great. Highly recommended.”

Best birthday ever (both tours)!
“I really can’t say enough great things about our experience with Platypus. We planned a private tour to celebrate a milestone birthday, with a large group of friends and family. From the planning to the actual two-day tour, this was a top-notch experience. Highly, highly recommended!“

Just leave it in their hands…
“We did not have to be concerned about where to go next, how much we should drink, or even what to eat. Our guide handled it all. He was respectful, honest, helpful, and was dedicated to making sure we had the perfect weekend.”
