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.

Fantastic half day wine tour - We loved the wineries and distillery on the itinerary! Great choices and not the common ones, so seeing something different. We loved meeting the other people on the tour, they were great fun. Our driver and guide Graeme was fantastic, we would definitely choose him again! Thank you team :-)

Whispers of the Vine - My partner and I had a great time! Lots of different wines to try, also very fun with the mystery wine tasting part of the tour.
Our driver Graeme was safe and knowledgeable about the places we went too, also had cool story’s to go along to each place we visited. 10/10 would do again.

Sample the Hunter, you won't regret it! - iHop was an excellent way to sample the Hunter, if you're short on time.
Our tour operator (Kristy), was really lovely and full of Hunter knowledge!
We started at a Gin & Vodka distillery (highly recommend the Mocha Vodka) followed by Tulloch winery where we sampled some of the most amazing Verdelho & Barbera the hunter has to offer along with a glorious (and plentiful) charcuterie & cheese board.
We ended the tour at an up & coming winery/brewery called The Wine Lab, nestled in the back country... the serenity was at its peak! The favourite for the group was the chilled sparkling red served at the Wine Lab - a unique and delicious beverage!
Every venue spoke so highly of Kristy and it felt as though we had preferential treatment at every location.
We will definitely book with iHop and will be recommending this tour to friends and family.

Bespoke Birthday Winetasting - Tim organised a bespoke wine tasting for 40 of us to celebrate my birthday. He and Christine were very friendly and knowledgeable hosts and drivers on the buses but more importantly took care of all the organisation and liaison with the 2 wineries. Thanks also for the lovely birthday gift! Highly recommended

Fabulous afternoon of wine tasting ! - Excellent tour and fabulous value for money. The host and driver of our tour was extremely knowledgeable of the area, history of wine growing, and told us so much more as we traveled from winery to winery. All of the wineries and the distillery were very generous with the number of samples, maybe too many and we had a great time chatting with our hosts and fellow tasters. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending iHop to anyone, I’ll certainly book with them again, excellent tour company.
