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

We did the tour of 3 wineries near Galena. Dennis was a fantastic host! He was so friendly and shared alot of history about the area. Our tour was on a Saturday 11-3. 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

In four hours we hit three wineries and sampled 25 different wines in total. We had lunch in Galena, some very tasty Pizza (and a pitcher of beer to chase down all that wine). It was me and my wife together with a group of very nice and social people from Indiana. The tour itself took about 5 hours including... More

Dave picked us up in Galena last week for a tour of the area wineries. We had a great day sampling and learning not only about wine, but some of Galena's history as well. Dave's repor with the local business owners is outstanding, we felt welcomed and 'at home' everywhere we went. Lunch was amazing! We highly recommend this tour! More

My mom, two sisters and I spent a day touring the wineries around Galena, IL with Dennis on July 14th. It was a great day! Dennis picked us up at our hotel in Galena in his tour bus at 11:00 a.m. that morning. His bus was very clean, comfortable and he had a cooler of bottled water on the bus... More

I had some wine loving friends in town recently (I live in Galena) and I had been told by other local friends that a tour by Iowa Wine Tours was a MUST while they were in town. Although we had been on single vineyard wine tours before, the thought of sampling at 3 places in one day, plus lunch and... More

I booked a tour for two people for $130 for 3/21/11. I called the night before to confirm; no reply. At 8:00 AM, three hours prior to the start of the four-hour tour, the owner called my hotel and left a message with the desk clerk (he had my cell phone number, so I can only infer he was avoiding...
