This is a fun, social tour for novices and enthusiasts alike. Your guide will share local history, wine making tidbits and culture insights, not to mention serving you a (very) tasty picnic lunch at one of the wineries. You would be joining a small-group tour, visiting non-touristy wineries. Did we say, fun? « less

We did a private tour with them and found them very flexible and they took into account what kind of wines we liked and took us to places he though we would like. Ken found some small off the beaten path places that we never would have found on our own. We met him at lunch time and spent the... More

My husband and I spent May 13th with Sam and 6 others on a group tour. Sam was a delight from start to finish and provided us with just enough information on the area and on wine--but did not overwhelm us. We visited 4 different tasting rooms and each one was different from the other. It was nice to have... More

We loved our tour with Ken. We know very little about wine and even less about the Sonoma area, but Ken was very knowledgeable and had some great recommendations. He took us to many small wineries that we would never have found on our own, and we had a wonderful day. Highly recommend a Platypus tour with Ken! More

My husband and I had a great time on a Sonoma Wine tour we took with Platypus during the last week of April 2012. Even though we were staying in Napa, the shuttle picked us up at our B&B and drove us over to Sonoma where we picked up up 6 more people. Alison was our tour guide, and she... More

My fiance and I were blown away with the tour Ken from Platypus gave us of Sonoma. We have little knowledge of the area, and even less of wine, so his recommendations were critical. We visited botique wineries and had one-on-one tastings with winemakers. Ken was a delight to spend the day with and provided what we feel was a... More

Unbelievable custom tour with Ken Marcheras. He is so informed and took us to several private wineries where the owners poured for us. Extremely professional and easy going! More

This tour was awesome! I had by doubts when I planned this tour only because I am not really a group tour type of person. Both my daughter(24) and I enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was Army and he did an amazing job. We were picked up on time at our hotel. There were 8 of us in the... More

Alison was a wonderful guide. She took us to four very unique Sonoma wineries. Each wth it's own special experience. The lunch that was provided was very good and came along with great scenery. I highly recommend this for a first time visitor to Wine Country. It's a smart way to get oriented. More
