They are prepared w/ a Luxury black shuttle van. Paul (our driver) was so informative and so knowledgeable about the Sonoma and Napa History. I appreciate how they already had an itinerary planned out for the day. We visited 4 wineries which one had a wonderful farm to table lunch waiting for us (which this was included in ticket price) Each winery visited made us feel at home/great stories/great people and great wine waiting for us upon arrival! Wine tasting fees are addl around $35-40 per person. Our last winery visited Paul helped us to get TSA approved shipping boxes which wine got home safely! Wish we could've stayed longer at Buena Vista and Sangiacomo. Would highly recommend wine trolley/bus tour and felt ticket price was reasonable for having great service/knowledgeable driver/lunch for an all day tour.

We were all laughing and have such a great time together! Our guide Paul was hilarious and had lots of great knowledge of the area. Everyone is small business owned at the places we stopped at and also felt very natural and warm. The interactions with everyone was fun and I definitely got some wine knowledge too! We stoped at four places. One beautiful vineyar with spectacular views, a food terrace and wine tasting area, a winery and makery, and another wine tasting bar. Would definitely do this again and highly recommend!

The wineries and cheese shops were high quality and perfectly spaced apart throughout the day. This will always be our first recommendation to anyone planning a trip to wine country!

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!

It's a great way to get to know a new foodie town or in this case, get a deeper knowledge and appreciation for a great place closer to home.

She was extremely helpful and planned a perfect day to accommodate my interests in a tasting tour. Unlike many people, I was not looking for a wine party, but rather a series of quality tasting of some great California reds, especially those with some age on them. She set us up with a tour of 4 top wineries which was just right for the day. Our tour guide and driver was Doug, and he was friendly, knowledgable and helpful. He seemed to know when to throw in some interesting tidbits about the history and wineries in the region, and when to give us time to enjoy the scenery and talk amongst ourselves. It was a family get together and we had a lot of catching up to do with each other so Doug's attention to that was appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience that our family will long remember. Highly recommended!

We decided to go with Valet of the Moon because of all of the positive reviews and the fact that they drive your personal or your rental car, thus saving you a lot of money (like 50% - 75% off a town car service). What we didn't expect were all the fabulous recommendations that Colleen gave us. She listened to what we were looking for in our Napa experience and made recommendations based on our feedback. We wanted to visit small, family-owned wineries that we'd never heard of and couldn't buy their wines in Houston. Colleen provided a fabulous list of wineries that fit the bill. We wish we could have visited them all, but only got to 7 over 2 days. We were blown away with the wineries she took us to outside the valley floor. We never would have discovered these on our own! We spent a day on Spring Mountain that was nothing short of spectacular. And for the cherry on top, Colleen herself was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. She walked us in to each winery, made sure we were being taken care of, and then quietly disappeared until it was time to go. Then she'd kindly send us a 15 minute text reminder because we could have stayed at some of the wineries all day. I can't recommend Colleen & Valet of the Moon highly enough. We will call on her for every trip to Napa or Sonoma.

We were carefree and so relaxed as Colleen treated us like royalty but kept us in perfect sync with our schedule. If we needed to deviate from the plan, she was on it and Colleen went OUT OF HER WAY to act as a personal concierge for some celebratory needs that we requested. Really, I cannot say enough great things about our experience with Valet of the moon!
