It was a great experience...

Anthony_R, Jan 2023

It was a great experience and we felt fortunate to have shared it with 3 other great couples also the celler doors we visited were fantastic people along with our driver tho one surprise we experienced at our last stop was the surcharge placed on one of the courses of our meal which we didn't expect as we thought the meal was totally included in the price tho overall was a lovely day and we thoroughly enjoyed it Thanks

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for your much valued feedback and for choosing us to look after you! We are so pleased to hear that overall you enjoyed your afternoon/evening out with us in the beautiful Hunter Valley! We would however like to obtain further information around the "surcharge" that applied. Anything in addition such as optional sides, extra drinks etc.. are at an additional cost which should be displayed on the menu or explained by the staff on arrival. If you could kindly contact management on 0455 535 035 or email at: explore@ihophuntervalley.com.au to provide further information and feedback on this, just as we hadn't been advised of any concerns being noted with the driver and we are always happy to address and resolve any concerns at the time. Thanks again and was a pleasure looking after you both!

Disappointed with the...

Alison_M, Apr 2022

Disappointed with the wine tastings. The pours were very stingy and the experience was not worth $180 per person. Dinner was the highlight.

Great time had by all

Adrian_B, Mar 2021

From the time you step on board you're made welcome. Graeme made it a point to break the ice and introduce everyone at each pick up so, we were comfortable to chat. Hard to satisfy all people all the time at each venue but, everyone came away more than satisfied. Snacks at wineries & craft brewery a great addition given dinner hours away.

Winery fun

Cherie_G, Nov 2020

This was a great tour well worth the cost. The 2 boutique wineries were great, as was the brewery & finally the dinner at Blaxland.

Our party of 4, (parent getaway for the weekend) was shocked at how much each of us enjoyed the tour. Certainly value for money. Informative at each cellar door. Kristy was wonderful, professional and friendly.
