Who says learning about wine can't be a whole lot of fun? On a Napa Valley wine tour with Platypus Wine Tours, curiosity is all you need. Our small-group tours visit three smaller-production, hidden-gem wineries where tastings often feel more like conversations with friends than formal presentations. You might hear an interesting family story, learn something surprising about winemaking, or find yourself tasting a wine you never knew existed. And our guides are a big part of the fun. They're masterful hosts who know how to bring people together, share fascinating stories and local insight, and introduce you to the people behind the wines, all while quietly keeping the day flowing. There's plenty of laughter, new friendships, and opportunities to ask whatever comes to mind. Small-group tours are $139 per person, seven days a week, with a tasty picnic lunch, bottled water, and pickup from most lodging properties within the Napa Valley region included. Discounted tasting fees are generally around $20–$25 per person, per winery. You'll come away knowing more about wine, but the people you meet and the stories you take home might be what you remember most.
