This was a great day! The Irongate winery was the highlight of the day. Gavin did a great job explaining the workings of a winery and was very knowledgeable and helpful during the tasting. Katelyn at Tempus Two was great although the winery was disappointing. It is located in a shopping mall-like area and seemed so much more commercialized. We did enjoy the chocolate pairings, though! The third winery was where we ate. The food was ready for us when we got there and the tasting was nice with a cheese pairing. The facility was extremely loud so it was hard to hear. And the distillery at the end was an interesting twist. Our driver, Mark, was very good. He kept things moving along and made a long day very easy. We would suggest that the stops be reversed because the first stop was the best. We would have purchased more wine at Irongate but waited, thinking we would fine something better. We did not.

This was the best tour we have ever taken. We were picked up right on time by Mark, our driver/tour guide, and he did everything possible all day to accommodate us. He was friendly, professional, and very informative. At the first winery, Jade, the wine maker, taught us more about wine than in all the years we've been doing wine tasting --- with passion, enthusiasm, and humor. The other wineries were also good. The gentleman at Four Barrels winery was very interesting too, and the wine was good. The distillery was interesting, and a fund stop to finish off the day. Great day overall!

Our Serbian guide / driver was brilliant! He kept us on time, was a wonderful host and took time and trouble to make our trip special. The fact that it's a small group also made the trip much more enjoyable. The different vineyards and wine selections at each, gave us a really good understanding of the huge variety of wines available from the Hunter Valley. My only quibble was the wine and cheese pairings straight after a huge lunch. That aspect could have been managed better, maybe with a lighter lunch and the wine and cheese tasting as part of the meal, not separate. However, overall it was a great trip.

Great tour, worth every penny! Tour bus comfortable for a longish drive. Iron Gate Winery was an amazing experience. The host was extremely knowledgeable, and shared this about all aspects of the vineyard and winemaking process. Tasting was superb, good explanations and descriptions about each wine. Lunch was plentiful and tasty; great choices. Wine and cheese pairings and Gin Distillery experience both very good. Chocolate and wine pairing least attention given, and so not as positive.
