Jill Leone's wine tour exceeded our expectations…read more We were on a short leash with our schedule and reached out to Jill at the last minute. Fortunately, she was available on the exact day we wanted to book. Unlike many other tour guides, Jill took the time to learn about our wine and food preferences before planning our day. We were a little concerned that we would end up on a generic wine tour, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Every stop was thoughtfully selected and perfectly tailored to our tastes. Along the way, Jill would spontaneously pull over so we could sample fresh fruit from local stands and taste different grape varieties right from the vines--experiences we never would have discovered on our own. Jill's knowledge, flexibility, and personal attention made for an unforgettable day. If you're looking for a truly customized Sonoma or Napa wine experience, we recommend Jill Leone 110%.

She helped us plan an amazing experience that surpassed our expectations! The owners of the wineries respect her as she has built a reputation of reliability, respect and excellent knowledge. We enjoyed every moment with her and the experience was the best we've had in Sonoma and the Russian River area. And we have very high expectations! We highly recommend her and we will certainly only plan our visits With her as our guide! Thank you, Jill!!! Warmly, Judy and Earl

We returned to Sonoma in 2026 with a small group and booked another tour. Booking and communication was a breeze. Very good. Ends up the property I rented offered a wine passport and we were to receive a discount. I called to confirm and they let me know the driver would apply the discount when we paid him the day of the tour. All sounded wonderful and was very clearly communicated. The tour in 2026 only went to 3 wineries. Two were just ok and one was not good. I don't think anyone on our tour purchased anything here. The time at each winery was like a typical tasting with some information on their winery. But no real information on Sonoma and Napa and the history of the area. At the end our driver had no clue on our discount and kept telling me he would get in trouble for charging me less. He insinuated I was making it all up. In the end he did honor the discount but seemed he did it as a favor not that it was a program that Platypus participates in. All in all I was disappointed in this wine tour and would no go on a platypus tour again and would not recommend them. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day. Luckily all the people on our tour were delightful so that made for a nice day.

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.
