Experience the Hunter - We have been guests of iHop quite a few years ago and decided go back and see what the Sample the Hunter Half Day Tour offered and we were not disappointed. Our tour started with a complimentary pick-up at our hotel where we were met by our delightful host Kristy an iHop co-owner for a 10.00am start. Kristy guided us through a fantastic itinerary of visits to Cellar Doors and a Distillery in the Pokolbin area where we sampled some excellent wines accompanied by a very tasty charcuterie board, plus some very nice spirits at a local Distillery. All-in-all we had a very memorable Hunter Valley experience. On your next trip to the Hunter Valley put one of iHop's tours at the top of your list for an unforgettable experience in Wine Country.

Exceptional experience that was a highlight of our visit - Tim could not have been more helpful. Informative with his knowledge of the region and its history. Choice of wineries were perfect especially Domaine de BINET. Dan was an amazing host. Dave at Tulloch Wines ran a close second. Pokolbin Distillery capped off our tour perfectly.

Great Tour - We had great time on the 3pm tour. Flick was an amazing guide and made the night seamless, she was also very helpful with suggestions of other places and knowledgeable of the area. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting a good choice of different places for a weekend in the Hunter Valley :).

Fabulous fun - Excellent half day tour with Tim at the helm! We went to several different tastings, particularly loved the mystery wine tasting at Tullochs and the amazing passion from Nathan at Hunter Wine Lab. A wonderful afternoon Thankyou 🙏🏼

Half day heaven - What a great way to spend a morning. Our guide, Flick was fabulous, and we were warmly welcomed at all three sites. We sipped too much, spent too much and enjoyed every second! Could not recommend more highly.

Ordinary, not extordinary. - We really enjoyed mystery tasting at Tullochs. Driver was great, shared really good facts. The first stop at Horners was very robotic, the hosts need to look into entertaining the guest in between tasting with past stories etc. the hosts would go behind bar and chat between themselves.
This feedback was left by me, the wife.
