Great tour - This is the second time I've done this tour. Nice wineries, friendly atmosphere, and our guide Tim looked after us well, giving some interesting insights about the region and wine production.

Great tour to take - Despite original tour being cancelled, late notification, Viator customer services booking us onto a replacement tour that was cheaper, no refund offered and replacement tour also not running. IHOP obliged by picking us up on a tour that was operating. Great communication fron IHOP. Tim our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Winery / distillery staff also. Purchases made. Great half day fun. Shame about the weather.

A fun and delicious afternoon! - We three old gals on a birthday celebration were treated to a fabulous afternoon with visits and tastings to three boutique premises: a distillery, a winery (with a huge antipasto platter laid on) and another winery with an intriguing wine/chocolate matching for us. A wonderful driver/guide looked after us and we felt this tour was great value and a delightful way to spend an afternoon. Though purchases aren't necessary I couldn't resist buying something from all three premises. Highly recommended!!

Highly recommend! - The tour was a great taster for Hunter Valley. Loved going to family owned wineries and the distillery was so great! All the products were locally sourced and the food quantities provided were a lot larger than expected.
The iHop team were so helpful and communicative from booking right to the end. Special shout out for Flick who truly went above and beyond for our group!

Fun day tasting cheese and wine with Tim - Great experience with Tim as our guide. He gave us lots of fun facts and explained the itinerary well. We loved the choice of stops, especially getting to say hello to the dogs!! Nice selection of spirits, wines, chocolates, and cheese. Got a great taste of the Hunter. Tim let us loose with our choice of music, which resulted in some raucous singing!! Great day overall, and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for fun arvo in the Hunter. Thanks again, Tim!
