Join-in Wine Tour Paired with a Spectacular Early Morning Napa Valley Balloon Flight

We’ve teamed up with our friends at Napa Valley Balloons to offer a one-of-a-kind Balloon & Join-in Wine Tour package.

Start your special day with a spectacular early morning balloon ride high above the magnificent Napa Valley. Your highly experienced pilot will identify key landmarks and engage you with stories about this beautiful and historic area.

This balloon adventure is provided by Napa Valley Balloons.

Next, enjoy our Platypus Join-In Wine Tour of the Napa Valley – a fun, social tour of smaller, back roads wineries. The tour is packed with lots of information, entertainment and commentary from your friendly driver/tour guide. Also includes:

  • A very tasty picnic lunch, served at a winery.
  • More incredible views, great wine and lively companionship than you ever thought possible in a single day!

Please keep these points in mind: The balloons fly best in cool, calm, stable air which in Napa is usually just after sunrise. Balloon flights are weather-dependent. Napa Valley weather is usually very good, but there are days every year on which the balloon operator must re-route or sometimes even cancel the flights. Passengers are encouraged to reschedule, so we recommend you plan your flight for the beginning of your trip, leaving your options open.

While the balloon portion of the tour may be cancelled, the wine tour part of the package will go on, rain or shine.

*As we are two separate companies, Napa Valley Balloons will charge the balloon ride portion of the day and Platypus Tours will charge separately for the join-in wine tour. Napa Valley Balloons charges $299 per person for the balloon ride & Platypus Tours charges $119 per person ($129 per person on Fridays, $139 per person on Saturdays) for the join-in tour.

Winery tasting fees are not included in the package price. Tasting fees tend to be about $20-$25 per person at each winery. We’ll visit three wineries on the wine tour. The winery selection varies each day.

To check availability, or to reserve this experience, please call: (707) 253-2723.

Please note: This tour is not available on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, or New Year’s Day.

This was such a great experience!

“This was such a great experience! I booked Platypus for our Bachelorette weekend on the recommendation of one of our bridesmaids and we couldn’t be happier. We loved the door-to-door service and Chris and all of our hosts were absolutely fantastic. We would happily book again and would definitely recommend Platypus to others!”
