I would highly reccommend taking this tour. Dennis is an amazing guide. He is a walking encyclodpedia when it comes to the Galena area. The whole time while he is driving from winery to winery, he is giving fun facts about the area - he is absolutely amazing! We visited three wineries. All the wineries have the most friendly employees.... More

We took the wine tour in August when we visited Galena IL. We had a great time with Dennis and his other guests. Dennis related a lot of information about the area and the 3 wineries we visited. We lucked out with the great weather and we were very comfortable on the ride. Dennis drove through the beautiful countryside and... More

What a great wine tour we had on Tuesday, August 14. We had 4 couples and all agreed this ranked among the best!

Our bus was clean and our leader, Dennis, kept everything on time and kept us informed about each winery, as well... More

Dennis picked us up at a hotel in Galena at 11 a.m., drove us to 3 wineries throughout the day, picked up pizza from a local... More

I "highly" recommend Iowa Wine Tours Inc. We had called the night before to see if they were available and had told them there were 4 people going. We weren't sure if we might have needed more to go on the tour. It turns out that they give tours from 2 to 12 people and the bus was available to... More

In a previous review the owners asked the reviewer to tell the "whole" story. So I will without omitting any facts. I welcome the owner of Iowa Wine Tours to add if I have left out or gotten anything wrong. My sister's best friend and I wanted to plan a winery tour for her bachelorette party. At the end of...

Myself and six of my friends went on this wine tour and had an excellent time! Dennis was right on time picking us up at our condo. He gave us a quick overview of the history of the Galena area on the way to the first winery. We went to Galena Cellars, Rocky Waters, and Massbach Ridge. It included trying... More

It was my husband & I and another couple we didn't know. We quickly became friends & greatly enjoyed the day. We had a delicious lunch at... More
