Testimonials and Guest Experiences 07 Michael H. – Minneapolis, MN Mozza C. – Los Angeles, CA The only way to experience the Sonoma wine country region as a first-timer. We had a blast, thanks to their great guides. Highly recommend!! We had a blast on this tour and experienced some fantastic wineries that we would not have found otherwise. This tour is totally worth it. Krista J. – San Antonio, TX We loved our Platypus tour in Sonoma (9 years ago) so much that we decided to book with them and tour Napa. It was just as great as we remembered.
