Not a Wine Connoisseur but LOVE wine!
Not a wine connoisseur so this shared grouped experience is what I was looking for. Once I booked, the customer service from them was very top. From the emails, texts to the calls to confirm, I thought it was above normal in this age of technology. They picked me up from my AirBnb which made it easy. Once the Jason arrived, he came out to greet us and confirm all the details for today. Intro - Jason is a wealth of knowledge. As the guide he gave you a brief history on the valley, some insights into tasting and also really broke the ice for everyone to get along and make new friends for the day. Seating - I like to call it Limo Style with seat belts. This gives everyone a chance to "talk story" and meet everyone. Wineries - Platypus loves to take you to off the beaten path wineries. Yes it might be names you don't know but some you have seen. Today... Bread & Butter (which you seen on shelves...but not the Napa ones); Backstage then to Boegertz Lunch - Turkey sandwich with quinoa salad, fruit and a snack. This was perfect as helps to absorb some of that wine tasting while not making you tired. Pro's - 1 - you are not drinking and driving 2 - make new friends 3 - visit wineries I would probably not visit 4 - great way to spend in Wine Country Work isn't a reward for travel, travel is a reward for working!
