Spent a couple of days in the Hunter Valley exploring the wineries, gardens and food. Ivanhoe Winery was the best one. I know wine and have been through many in Europe, so I want good straight knowledge on the wine, and entertained not bored by all the crap that many deliver from a script. Our man Danny was brilliant, straight to the point and guts of the wine’s character so I could dive into to the best of the selections. His stories and delivery were point perfect. A genuine raconteur with a great sense of humour and gentle manner. We stayed for a couple of hours, enjoyed the exceptional wines the cheeses and the history and atmosphere of a truly unique winery amongst the corporate dross of the many other wineries in the Hunter. Ivanhoe is a winery driven by the same passion I’ve experienced in some of Europes best boutique vineyards it’s a credit to the owners and staff who love the craft. Danny is the front of house every vineyard needs to bring the experience to life and not bore you to death. Thank you to all at Ivanhoe for an entertaining and wonderful experience. Walked away with some excellent wines. Shall be ordering more
