Very friendly winery. - This is a lovely winery with spectacular views. The tasting was unpretentious with some delightful wines and we very much enjoyed spending a little time with Danny as he served and educated us on the wines.

Feel like family 🫶🏼 - We spent the morning tasting wine with Kylie at Ivanhoe. We absolutely love Ivanhoe wines and did the members tasting. The Draytons are such a down to earth family who really go above and beyond to ensure you are welcome and at home. Kylie spent time telling us about the wines and tailored our experience to suit the various members of our six people party. We had a terrific time and enjoyed the whole experience. If you have not tasted here you are missing out.

Premium Wine Tasting at Ivanhoe Wines – A Hunter Valley Highlight - Our morning wine tasting at Ivanhoe Wines was hands-down the standout experience of our four-day Hunter Valley getaway. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the Tuscan-like charm of the panoramic vista—rolling vineyards framed by distant hills, dotted with striking sculptures crafted from chain, and two charismatic geese patrolling the grounds like guardians of the estate. What made the visit truly memorable was our host, Lewis. Warm, friendly, and effortlessly engaging, he brought the Ivanhoe story to life with genuine passion and deep knowledge, embodying the spirit of generations of family winemaking. His relaxed yet informative style made the experience feel both personal and special. The wine selection was superb—there was something to suit every palate in our group of five, with several favourites that had us reaching for order forms. The balance of quality, variety, and storytelling elevated the tasting far beyond the norm. In a region full of excellent cellar doors, Ivanhoe stood out for its authentic hospitality, unforgettable setting, and exceptional wines. A must-visit—we’re still talking about it.

Outstanding Family Winery - If I could give this place more stars I would. Lewis was outstanding as our host and provided the best experience I’ve had in a very long time. Right from the time we walked in the door we were made to feel so welcome as if we were family. His knowledge and connection to family was as warming and gutsy as the red wine they have on offer. Even if you’re not much of a wine drinker I recommend the experience of sitting on the balcony to admire the Tuscany-like views and take in the ambiance of the whole atmosphere, history and live that goes into this family operated business.

Could stay all day! - We had the most wonderful, memorable morning. It was perfect looking over the hills of Ivanhoe winery. The location was the best we had been to in Pokolbin. Thank you Lewis Drayton- a great host.

Well worth it!!! - Lewis is the most fabulous host, very fun and informative. The wines are delicious and the views stunning. Highly recommend 👌

Wine and cheese tasting with a view! - Always enjoy a visit to Ivanhoe. Great views, great wine (reasonably priced), and great service. Thank you Danny for a lovely afternoon.

Amazing wine tasting experience - The wine tasting was an amazing experience, made even more amazing by our sommelier Danny who was hospitable, humorous and provided a great introduction into each of the wines. The wine quality itself was top tier especially the shiraz and cab sauvs. Would recommend!

Amazing scenery & beautiful family wines! - We enjoyed a great wine tasting with family, overlooking the amazing views! Very well looked after by Danny, we enjoyed our gourmet (members) cheese platter whilst sampling a variety of new vintages & some old favs, a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.

Great premium wine tasting - We were looked after so well. The tasting server was very knowledgeable about the wine. The tasting tables on the verandah have the most amazing views and the wine was so delicious we joined up as members.
