Fun Tasting Day. - The half day Sample Tour was great. Our Driver Felicity was such a Fabulous Tour Guide. She was Bubbly & informative. She never rushed us, told us to enjoy & take our time & even took us to the chocolate shop, which wasn't included in the tour. That's great customer service, just went that little bit extra. Thanks so much Felicity 🙏 💗
The Vineyards we visited were all terrific, it was just a great day all round.
I would definitely do another Tour with ihop Tours.
Thanks Guys 😊

On Time and Fun - Graham was very insightful. He shared his knowledge of wines and spirits and shared a few stories from previous trips. He kept us on time and ensured we maximised our experience.

Good tour, no pancakes though - Graeme was great! He made everyone feel at ease from the moment he greeted us. All three stops on this tour were excellent, especially Pokolbin Distillery.

A great afternoon - Tim was a great guide and we were also in a great group of people. Pokolbin Distillery, Tulloch and Hunter Wine Lab were all enjoyable to visit. Hunter Wine Lab in particular was a real highlight.
Tim demonstrated a great knowledge of the wine industry and area. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and would highly recommend it.

Excellent cellar doors & guide Tim - Amazing tour and guide Tim. 3 very different cellar doors. First one personal and family owned, called Blueberry Hill. Second was a blind tasting, great fun and the charcuterie excellent. Third a spirit tasting. Bought from everyone. Fully recommend.
