Platypus Tours: Group and Private Tour Options

Another company that I think you might enjoy is Platypus Tours. They have a group Napa Valley wine tasting tour every day that starts at 10:30 am and lasts until around 5 pm. During your tour, you will visit up to four wineries.

The trip costs $99 per person and they keep the group size to about 8 to 12 people. The cost includes transportation, picnic lunch, tour guide and bottled water on the bus. Tasting fees at the wineries are not included.

Platypus Tours also offers private wine tours. These are completely customized and they allow you a little more flexibility. If you know which wineries you want to visit, you can just let them know. If not, they can schedule the day out for you based on the types of places you would like to visit.

The pricing for the private wine tours is hourly, so the costs will vary. You can contact them directly to schedule your trip or learn more about the tours they offer: http://www.platypustours.com/
