    Alpha and omega wine tasting outside view

    I absolutely loved and will recommend this tour!!! 10/10 we did the wine tasting tour and got a Groupon at first I was unable to redeem and called and was able to get it sorted with ease which was a glitch on my end. Good communication with our driver and itinerary. Our tour guide Jesse took great pictures and had a great time overall! FYI: you do have a pay on top of, for which wine tastings you do fyi but your guide gives you the prices and you pick from there. We did bread and butter $45/po and alpha + omega $75/pp both beautiful! ALSO BRING SUNGLASSES so you don't have to wear goggles

    Our tour guide Jesse was excellent and the side car was so much fun. Loved touring the city and seeing some amazing vineyards and the tasting room. It should be a bit better noted that the tasting fee is not included. It took us by surprise that we booked this tour that included a reservation for a tasting at a local tasting room, however we were required to pay separately for the tasting. Still very much worth all the miscommunication, however this could be improved. Such a highly recommended experience though for anyone in the area.

    My husband and I in a sidecar in Napa for his birthday. We had the best time.

    We had an awesome experience. Perfect way to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our driver Ron was the best. He knew a lot about Napa. He was a safe and a courteous driver. It was also his birthday. We had the best time.

    Mick and Ron were simply awesome. The are extremely professional and most important personable. They arrived on time and were very flexible. We each had our own side car and the ride was smooth and so enjoyable. I have been riding since I was 5 years old. I have never been the passenger on. MC. This was a treat to just sit back literally and enjoy. I felt totally safe on the German Iron horse. You can arrange your own itinerary or let Mick make the arrangements. Wine tasting, scenic tour among the vines picnic the possibilities are endless. Safety is a priority to Mick and Ron. You can tell they love what they do and it translates to a great adventure. Well done Mick and Ron I will see you again soon. Call Mick and schedule your side car tour you will not be Disappointed.

    Absolutely terrible service We pre-paid for tour, they cancelled via email due to their staff having COVID about 4 hours before tour started. Email stated they would attempt to reschedule the tour or if they couldn't then we would receive a refund. Emailed them back within 2 hours and informed them that we were available for rescheduling but we were leaving the next day. No response! Then emailed them again 10 days later asking when we could get our refund, again no response! 2 weeks later I contacted my credit card company to dispute the charge, when they contacted Sidecar Tours they lied and said we had never contacted them and we had in fact been on the tour.

    AMAZING! My husband surprised me for our anniversary and I had the best time! Rob was our guide. He was so fun to be around and made sure we were comfortable and had an incredible time! He took so many pictures of us! Thank you Rob! You made our trip so fun!

    If you visit or live in Napa you MUST do Sidecar Tours! We had guests from Indiana and this tour knocked it out of the park for them (and us). Our drivers, Rob and Ron were great and really accommodating. We felt 100% safe too. It was such a blast for all of us and I'd go do it all over again in an heartbeat! DO THIS!

    Cheers!

    I had the opportunity to play tourist in my own backyard yesterday. We live in Sonoma County, but decided to do something out of the ordinary and take a tour through Sonoma with some friends via the Sidecar Tours, Inc. Our tour started outside of Sonoma at the Viansa winery. We met Mario and his other two drivers, Dave and Kelly. Mario gave us a thorough briefing of the days events, along with some safety tips and explanation of these beautiful sidecars. To be honest, a couple people in our group were a bit apprehensive about riding in the sidecars. These worries were quickly extinguished, upon seeing them close up. They're large, big enough to fit two people with ample room. A friend of ours is 6'5" and he fit comfortably with his wife. Helmets and goggles were provided as well. The ride was surprisingly smooth. Besides the scenic tour, we stopped at two wineries. The tasting fee and scheduling were included in the price. We started out our tasting at a wonderful winery, Homewood. I would never have discovered this fabulous winery if it weren't for Sidecar Tours. We were in awe at the presentation and taste of the wines offered, but that's another Yelp review. After our tasting, we took a scenic drive to the city of Sonoma, where we stopped at the picturesque city hall for some photos and learned a bit more about our guides. After this stop, we then drove to our final stop, again at Viansa. Viansa is a gorgeous setting, sitting atop a hill overlooking the plains outside Sonoma. Again, more tasting and a charcuterie board was included. Throughout our tour, we kept saying how amazing this tour was and how we want to book again. Mario, Kelly and Dave were awesome guides. They were very personable and there to help. There is also an extra package where you can get a GoPro video of your day. I received my video the next day. FYI, there is enough room in the basket, in back of the sidecars, to fit plenty of wine that you'll purchase during your stops. Finally, as this tour says Napa Valley, as we did...you can also travel through Sonoma. Don't hesitate to book this tour. It's a unique experience that'll bring lasting memories.

    We had a great time with Ron. He was very knowledgeable of the area, seasons, and grapes. We had a great time and would definitely do it again.

    Just had the pleasure of taking this tour and it was an experience we'll never forget! Our guide, Ron, was an absolute joy to spend the day with. He told us about all the interesting history of Napa Valley and took us to some of the most beautiful viewpoints of the vineyards and rolling hills. The highlight of the tour was the winery Ron introduced us to - a hidden gem we never would have discovered on our own and loved it so much we ended up buying a couple bottles! We can't recommend this tour enough and will be telling everyone we know about it!

    We had a great time with Ron today on our tour! We visited Vinoce which was a small winery in town. Recommend the morning tour as you get to the places early and we had the whole place to ourselves which was awesome. Ron was very informative and knew the area really well. Helmets were provided and goggles too but we had our own goggles. We loved it! Great views and wonderful weather. Highly recommend it!

    Ron was an amazing driver last week. Very genuine individual and accommodating! We had a great time. Thank you Ron.

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.

    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!

The rail follows alongside the highway so views were not necessarily 'outstanding' because I was on the train. I do not need to ride this train to see these views. I did not have to drive, that brings the rating up, but there are MANY ways to not drive in Napa. It was a little rickety, but acceptable. The food, 2/5 stars, substandard for the cost. Portions were small (half a piece of bacon, 1 small egg for a Benedict, etc.) and taste was middle of the road. The service/staff 4/5. Most everyone was very hospitable and did their job well. However, it did feel as if we were 'just another group'. Everything is very script and not especially personalized. For example, I'm on a wine train and no one asked my wine preference. Which brings me to the wine we tasted on the train 1/5. I expected a higher quality of tastings. In addition, offer a choice of flight, white or red or a mix of both. Or, hear me out...offer wine pairings for each course (included with my ticket, not for extra cost). Stopping at the sign and enjoying the tasting in the open car was a wonderful choice, wine selection is greatly lacking and to be honest, a great disappointment. Overall, I enjoyed my time, but this was not necessarily due to being on the Napa train specifically, it was because I was on vacation in Napa. I could see the business cutting costs in almost every aspect and that is unfair because I am paying a premium cost of approx. $100/h. And for some of that time, I'm at the winery and not even on the train. Which brings me to the end of my rating, for the stops 2.9/5. The stops felt rushed, especially our first stop. They are about an hour each, but this includes disembark and reembark times. I wanted a little more time at each winery to make a purchase or walk the grounds. I will not be recommending this particular experience, I believe many improvements can be made. Lastly, I booked this experience due to several social media content creators experience. These creators are getting their experiences paid for. Be sure to read ratings from those of us not being sponsored.

But dog friendly. 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.
