After picking everyone up, our group went to Saddleback Cellars. This was a great vineyard to visit - we were seated right next to the beautiful fields and enjoyed sipping our wine while walking right next to the growing grapes! The lady working there was friendly and it was really nice learning more about the history of their vineyard. They've won several awards, and we could see why! These were some delicious wines. Next, we made our way to Merryvale Vineyards where we also stopped to have our boxed lunch. Their inside space was gorgeous and it was interesting learning about the barrel aging process. We enjoyed our tasting here too! We finished up at Backstage which was one of the highlights of the day - the wines we tasted were excellent and the seating area is just gorgeous, overlooking their beautiful vineyards. We decided to buy a bottle here and enjoyed it later during our trip. Platypus was a great choice for our tour - when I was searching for tour options online it was affordable for our group, had great reviews and I can see why! Army was excellent, I loved that they picked you up and dropped you back to your hotel, and the reduced rates for the tastings helped a lot too! On my next Napa visit I would definitely book with them again.

We've done a total of five Platypus Wine Tours -- four in Napa and one in Sonoma -- and have had a…read moregood experience overall. Some tours have been truly exceptional, while others have been more average. The guides have all been good, although some definitely stand out more than others. Ultimately, though, the biggest factor in the experience is the wineries you visit and how generous they are with their pours. You'll quickly learn what a "revisit" means on these tours. Most wineries are happy to pour you another taste, but some are surprisingly stingy and seem more interested in selling bottles than providing a memorable tasting experience. Some will happily pour their most expensive wines, while others will talk about those wines without actually letting you taste them unless you're willing to buy a bottle. Honestly, that's disappointing, especially when you're there to experience and learn about the wine. That said, Platypus itself is fantastic. The shuttles are spacious, the groups are small, and the overall experience is a great way to explore wine country without the hassle of driving between wineries. My biggest recommendation: tell your tour guide upfront that you want fun, welcoming wineries that are generous with their pours. The right winery selection can take an already good tour and make it an outstanding one. We'll absolutely consider booking with Platypus again!

A bucket list check for sure and I'm genuinely glad I can say I did it. But once was enough…read more The Vista Dome Lunch includes a three course meal, dessert and a glass of champagne which sounds like everything Napa represents. The experience is unique and the train itself is a novelty worth appreciating at least once. Service was funny, quick and very informative , telling us about the area, they did a wonderful job handling our large party. However when I think Napa I think wine tasting hopping between venues, exploring different wineries and really immersing yourself in what the valley has to offer. So make time to do both! The Wine Train doesn't quite deliver that and the views from the dome were honestly just okay. For the price point I think the better Napa experience is booking a private driver and hitting multiple venues at your own pace. You get more wine, more variety and a fuller picture of what Napa actually is. No regrets! just a one and done for me.

But its absolutely worth the money and if you can find a big enough group to book tickets with even better. The staff is fun and knowledgeable. I appreciated the history given during the tour. It was a gloomy rainy day but I still enjoyed myself. First off the lobby area is great, check in is smooth and they have a cool 360 operator that you can take videos on! The food is upscale and could use seasoning in my opinion. But still good. You get 4 courses. Breakfast, Dinner (refer to pic of menu), a cheese course, and a Dessert course. Look - Beef or Chicken- delicious- you cant go wrong and pick the creme brulee as Dessert. If you drink wine (and i mean DRINK WINE) you will absolutely get the bang for your buck. But if youre just there for vibes maybe spring for the lesser price ticket. We stopped at 2 wineries. The last had an Italian market with snacks and sandwiches. The tours itself were informative but wouldnt say fun. Personally wish they had a later start time. The check in starts at 945a and we were done by 4:30p. I feel like my group was tired and took us a minute to get into it. It also rained. But didnt stop our group from dancing in it and the employees joined in which was amazing!! Special shout out to Nick and Alicia. They made the experience one to remember. Looking forward to coming back on a Sunny day!

When our ship was delayed getting into port, our carefully planned day suddenly had to change.

Instead of making us feel stressed about the lost time, Nick handled everything and made sure we could simply relax and enjoy ourselves. He was professional, incredibly personable, knowledgeable about Napa Valley and genuinely cared about making our day special. The vehicle was beautiful, comfortable and immaculate, and the level of service was exactly what you would expect from a luxury private tour -- actually, even better. We travel frequently and have used many private drivers and tour companies, and Nick is one of the best we've ever had. What really sets him apart is his willingness to adapt when things don't go according to plan. Anyone can provide a great tour when everything runs perfectly; Nick proved how valuable he is when it didn't. If you're looking for a private driver or luxury wine-country tour in Napa or Sonoma, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nick and Perata Luxury Tours. We will absolutely use him again.

Hands Down the Best Driver in Napa Valley!…read more I discovered George on Yelp, and after comparing other Napa car services--many quoting well over $1,000 for wine tours--it's clear why his customers rave about him. His reviews truly say it all! There were plenty of reasons we chose George over the rest. From our very first contact, George was incredibly responsive and communicative. I had a party of 10 (6 adults and 4 kids) for my husband's 40th birthday celebration and needed a vehicle that could securely accommodate a car seat with a latch system--his car was absolutely perfect. He arrived right on time, greeted us warmly, and was super easy to talk to. Throughout the day, George consistently arrived within minutes at each of our destinations. He didn't just drop us off--he guided us to the exact entrances and exits of every winery, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. On top of that, he shared insightful feedback about why each winery is special, adding a whole new level of appreciation to our tour. Another bonus, he provided water in an iced cooler and white glove door service! What really stood out was George's impressive local knowledge. Without even needing navigation, he expertly drove us from Petaluma to Napa while sharing fascinating stories and history about the wineries, estates, and the region itself. If you want a professional, friendly, affordable, and knowledgeable driver for your Napa experience, George is your guy! Highly recommend and would easily book him for our next trip!

Quality/Quantity - I had a hard time with the website making my appointment, it's a user issue as I am just not tech savvy. So I called and someone actually answered the phone and made my appointment for me, THANK you! We arrived 15 mins early, so we hung out in the lobby reading all the history, etc. Then Skip took us to the best view overlooking the vineyard for our tasting; see pictures! We sampled almost ALL the reds! All of which were good. See pictures. I like the fact that we did side by side tastings of many of his wines. My favorites were the 2022 Primitivo and 2021 Malbec, which we bought a few bottles of. Ambiance - Secluded private winery. Close to main Downtown Napa, but far enough away for privacy and a feeling of being far away. Appointment only, so very private and customer focused. Typically no more than 3 parties at a time. Today was considered a very busy day as there were 4 parties including us, lol. Gated private estate. 200 acres. Plenty of parking, especially since hosting only 3 guests at a time. Events - See their website. Well behaved dogs are allowed outdoors. Service - Skip is a history buff and we both talked for hours... After leaving, well really the next day (LOL), I realized that our tasting was supposed to be only 60 minutes. I guess because we got along so well, we stayed until closing! And he gave me a glass with a generous splash and let us walk the property alone after they left! So welcoming and trusting. Price - Depends on which tasting and what you buy; see their website for prices. Tastings range from $50 to $100 per person. One free designated driver allowed. Tasting fees waived with wine equivalent purchases. Hike tours $75 per person ($60 for club members). See their website for more information.

I loved that they plan the day for you so all you have to worry about is getting to the trolley in the morning. We went to 4 wineries and we really enjoyed them. I would definitely go to most of them again independently. The guides at each winery were knowledgeable and I definitely learned a lot. The most expensive stop was $50 per person as they do special pricing for the trolley guests, so you do save a little over going there independently. Lunch was a delicious chicken sandwich and pasta salad with homemade cookies that we ate picnic style at a winery. It was delightful! I appreciated how attentive they were to my allergies.

Frank was also extremely friendly and welcoming . Ray and Frank are knowledgeable and dedicated. It is definitely laid back and not high pressure. Just friendly and shoot the breeze vibes. Note that this winery sources it's grapes from elsewhere mostly in the Napa area and they focus on wine making. There isn't a large mansion, expansive grounds or caves to tour. This is a winery if you're interested in the wine label itself not a vineyard tour. We are impressed by the wines and enjoyed almost all of them. They are reasonably priced for wine purchase though I'm not used to paying $75-150 per person for tastings during the almost post pandemic Napa climate though I understand the price increase. . The wines range from $25-75 which is not considered over the top in Napa. We enjoy Saxum wines ( $100 to $500) very very occasionally and I would consider that high end , so Vinoce is definitely not on the high end in terms of price nor overpriced for their wines. Fun fact: Our host mentioned that their wines are seen on the TV show series "succession" ... We enjoyed our tasting and especially loved the Pinot and Cabernet.

One of the best guided trail ride experiences I've ever had. I'm a life-long horsewoman currently without horses. I took a not-so-experienced friend of mine to Napa Valley Trail Rides for a ride and am still beaming about what a great we had. Arriving at the barn, I was very impressed. Clean and well appointed, with aisles swept. (Always a good sign.) I was greeted by friendly, professional and obviously experienced staff who clearly care about the horses as well as their guests' experience. The horses were sleek, well-fed, friendly and clearly in great hands. The tack room contained beautiful , well made saddles, bridles, halters and blankets. They even had boots in just about every size available to rent for those who arrive without. The horses were saddled and ready for us. We spent some time in the arena getting a feel for each other, and then we went out on the trail. The trails were wide and well-groomed, winding through the vineyard. The trail guides were great, and the horses were very well behaved. Speaking with the manager, Michelle Rogers, I learned how much time the horses get individually with the staff keeping tuned up. The horses are selected for riders based on their experience, size and ability, ensuring that both horses and riders have an optimal experience. After the ride, we sat on the patio overlooking the garden and vineyards with a glass of wine. It was a beautiful way to spend a day. From beginning to end, every detail - location, facility, staff, animals, experience and wine (!) was top drawer. I couldn't recommend Napa Valley Trail Rides more enthusiastically. If you haven't been yet, you really must go. read more

What an awesome, intimate experience we had with Kayla! She was knowledgable, interactive, and just an overall very pleasant guide. My husband and I were fortunate not to have had anyone else in our group that Monday morning, so we had our own private tour (50 minute ride) of their gorgeous vineyard-- the only place you can horseback ride through vineyards in Napa. Although I am an experienced rider, my husband is not. They paired us up with horses that met our individual skill sets. Not only are their horses approachable and friendly (you can interact with them as soon as you arrive at the facility), but they exude manageable demeanors for riders of any level of experience. We had coincidentally scheduled a wine tasting at Shadybrook Estate just a couple days prior (to our ride) but didn't realize that both facilities were on the same property until we showed up for our tasting and we saw the horses. We were very impressed by, and it's worth mentioning that their staff is meticulous about the cleanliness of their property; it's apparent that they take great pride in their guests' tasting and riding experiences. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this winery from a Google review's picture that caught our eye. When we came for a visit, Meagan was our server. She took care of us and went above and beyond! Little did she know, this was our very first winery experience-as we are out-of-towners. Right before we left, the owner of the winery walked by to greet and thank us for coming. Trust me, the pleasure was all ours. We had the best seats in the house- in the lounge chairs in front of the fireplace overlooking pure perfection. The wine was also incredible. Right before we left, another kind gentlemen server poured us a taste of their best Cab- which he over heard is my husband's favorite type! I don't think another winery could touch the views, tastes, and hospitality of this winery. They know what they're doing and their servers are passionate about your experience. Can we just go back in time again? A morning we are so grateful for and will never forget! Bravo! read more

The experience was awesome. The location is a short 5-10 minutes drive from Napa"s main downtown. Our guide Taylor selected horses safe for all different riding levels in our group so the ride was relaxing and fun without any hand-holding or micromanagement. The horses are gorgeous, and grounds are spectacular with mountain and farm views. The estate is fashionably decorated and wine tasting area with a spa like ambiance. They wine hostess was very accommodating with a last-minute add on for our party, as well as knowledgeable about the two winemakers of the facility and all their products. We are definitely coming back for a private tour. If they had a restaurant there it would be even better. Definitely a must see sight while in Napa. 5 out of 5 stars easy! read more

I LOVED my experience at Napa Valley Trail Rides. Taylor, my guide, was so sweet and I had a great little horse named Wizard who was a bit of a rascal, wanting to eat the lucious vines..., but nothing I couldn't handle and I found him full of personality and very amusing. The facility is beautiful and the horses are well loved and cared for. I did not do the wine tasting, just the ride and it was awesome to see the vineyards from that view. I just wish it was a longer ride, of course. I hadn't been on a horse in 50 years, and it was just like riding a bike. Although I'm a bit sore today. Like after your first workout in a gym, unless you ride all the time. But all worth it. I HIGHLY recommend this as a fun and different thing to do in the Napa Valley! read more

This activity was added to our bachelorette weekend and we are so very happy that we did. All, if not, most of us were beginners and we were nervous. The lovely ladies, who were very professional and helpful, made sure that we were comfortable with the beautiful horses that they paired us up with and ensured our safety throughout our journey through their vineyard. As our horseback ride came to an end, the lovely ladies praised us on what a great job we did. We all were pumped up! The feeling was great! As we said our goodbyes to the amazing horses and the group of ladies that made our experience special, we couldn't help but talk about our fun filled and wonderful experience as we drove away. We all would definitely come back and do it again. read more

The sunrise was especially beautiful as we drifted along, and the silence up there, broken only by the loud occasional burst of the burner, was unlike anything I've ever experienced. That said, there were a few things to consider. The heat from the burner can be overwhelming, especially if you're not prepared for it. I didn't wear a hat, and I really wish I had and i am short 5'2 those blasts of hot air can get pretty intense when they hit you directly! So, if you're planning this trip, definitely bring something to cover your head. The landing was a bit of a wild ride, too. The ground was much harder and more uneven than I expected, and we didn't quite know where we'd land until we were almost on top of it. Also getting in and out can be extremely challenging. It's hard climbing into and out of the basket and it's very tightly packed. Not a lot of space to move. I knew the risks going in but the whole experience was so worth it. Even with those little surprises, it was absolutely incredible. Would I do it again? Definitely not! Despite the heat and the bumpy landing, the beauty of the experience makes it all worthwhile and a one timer for me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something unique and unforgettable to add to your list of adventures. Just don't forget your hat!

When you keep coming back, you know you've found something special. Owner Gale has built a truly exceptional operation. The equipment is always in great condition, the booking process is smooth, and the overall experience feels well thought-out from start to finish. It's clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in what she's created. Our guide James was fantastic: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and great at making the tour both educational and entertaining. He shared fascinating details about the wetlands ecosystem, local wildlife, and the history of the area, all while keeping the energy light and fun. The wetlands setting itself is breathtaking: a peaceful, scenic route that feels completely different from the usual Napa wine country experience. It's a perfect outing for families, couples, or anyone looking to explore the area in a unique and memorable way.

So fun! If you are looking for something different to do this is the activity…read more We went to the 9am group and it was just the 4 of us and the tour guide. The tour guides are ran by a mother and son. We had the son, James. He took us to 4-5 different places known by locals and let me tell you, lines were out the door for these places. We tried one thing off the menu that was chosen by the tour guides. I was skeptical because I'm picky when it comes to food but everything was so good. The segways were so fun too. Definitely would do it again.

He keeps you laughing and engaged while also being very informative and making sure you feel prepared for everything, including the landing which was super smooth! We were fortunate to fly on what Bob described as a nearly perfect day. Our one-hour ride covered about 12 miles, and the views were absolutely incredible. He explained that it can sometimes be too cloudy to see very far, but we could see all the way to the San Francisco Bay. The ride does start very early, so I would suggest grabbing a quick energy drink or going ahead and having your first mimosa so you can really enjoy the experience! You also receive a glass of wine afterward, and that wine was so lit! For anyone who feels anxious about taking a balloon ride, Bob's welcoming personality and calm, knowledgeable approach make him the perfect person to fly with. I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience and would absolutely recommend him.

I would love to rank the tour a lot higher, but talkative fellow passengers intoxicated with wine killed the peaceful, relaxing moments. We didn't get Captain Kevin, but from our brief interaction he seemed great. Our captain (Captain Dalfred) gave us a good picture of what it was like to live off the Napa river and details about his pre-retirement life. Overall, this would be a great tour if you just want to chill along the river and appreciate the scenery. Your tour will be greatly influenced by your fellow passengers. This isn't really a "romantic" boat tour, but a chill tour to show you the scenery around the river. The two hours flies by fast.

Take it knowing it's a relaxing, scenic ride, and bring a nice bottle of wine and some food (which we didn't and totally regretted). Kevin is a nice captain guy, who thinks he's funnier than he is, but a really cool guy. You should consider this for team-building, company events. Free parking in the lot, hardly any people on the river, very quiet and peaceful.

So grateful to be sharing this review!…read more If you've been considering booking a Hot Air Balloon experience... Do it!! My husband surprised me with this epic experience for our anniversary. And from start to finish is was dope! King mentioned the booking process & communication prior to arrival were seamless. We arrived at 5:25am to a secure parking lot. Check in was smooth and they distribute the large group info smaller ones based on weight. We were offered complementary snacks and coffee and although we declined it was a nice touch. Be sure to note that anything that does not fit inside your pocket is not permitted onboard the balloon. It was extremely foggy (early August) so we unfortunately had to be transported to another take off site due to weather about 50 mins away. They do make it very clear that there are different take off locations and the Sonoma one may not be an option if weather is not permitting. When we arrived they were inflating the balloons which was pretty cool to watch. Take off was smoother than I anticipated. The views from the sky were remarkable and being in the air has a level of freedom not atinable by another aircraft. Landing was ok, and we were all instructed to brace ourselves by bending knees & leaning back in basket. The custom Sonoma Ballooning champagne toast was the cherry on top. Huge shout-out to our pilot Balloonist Mateo for having great energy and keeping us informed.
