Gabrielle is made for this! She is very personable and serious about making sure you have a great time. I am already anticipating the next trip, you should not pass up this experience.

The tour was amazing and Gabrielle was THE BEST tour guide I could have asked for. This trip was beyond what I expected and I’d advise even local people that live here to do this. Very informative, and amazing!!!!!!

Our host Gabriele cut her tour guide teeth in the highly competitive Las Vegas market, before relocating to Twin Falls. She picked us up in a very comfortable, super clean and roomy SUV, and proceeded to take us on a pre-wine tasting tour of local natural features. Our first stop was the gorgeous Malad Gorge State Park, with its stunning rock face cliffs culminating in the river below. Gabriele, a consummate professional, provided commentary on the early settlers to the area, the native fauna and flora and a general history of the region. We returned to the vehicle traversing an old iron bridge spanning the gorge which permitted some tremendous photo ops. A pleasant drive through the scenic hilly backroads saw us arrive at Holesinsky Vineyard and Winery, for an outstanding wine testing session. For those of us of a teetotal persuasion, the winery has an outstanding bottled sparkling mineral water. Additionally for those who don't care for fermented grape juice, there is beer on tap. This is a must do experience for those visiting the region, and Big Green Adventures offers several variations on the day trip. Be sure and book well in advance, as she fills up spaces in her SUV quickly at high season.

My wife and I went on this tour and it was AMAZING. The vehicle was comfortable, the guide was knowledgeable about the area, and the sights were fantastic. We were lucky that the trees had started turning so we got to see lots of fall color, as we enjoyed some delicious Idaho wine. I would definitely do this again and I recommend it as a date.

Gabrielle is an amazing tour guide! I’ve been an Idahoan my whole life, but still learned interesting facts about Idaho. MALAD Gorge is a must see, beautiful waterfalls and incredible breathtaking views of the gorge! We took a scenic drive to Holesinsky’s Winery where we enjoyed wine tasting and the gorgeous property. This tour is great for locals, and for visiting family and friends from out of the area. You will not be disappointed!

Absolutely amazing experience! The views were stunning. Best wine I have ever had! Gabrielle was amazing and she is very knowledgeable of the areas we visited. 10/10 will do again!

Very impressed! My friends and I decided to take the tour as it came highly recommended. I’d noticed the Malad Gorge sign several times on my way to Boise and have had it on my list of things to check out for quite some time. Not only was it beautiful, but I learned so much from Gabrielle, our tour guide. She was so knowledgeable about the area and was so friendly. She made sure to get to know each person and tailored the tour to fit our group, which was a really nice touch. The hospitality at the winery was top notch and way more than I had expected. I am a very picky wine drinker and seldom find wines that I truly enjoy. I was pleasantly surprised to find 3 that I enjoyed and 1 that I LOVED enough to purchase a bottle to bring home. So yummy! Book the tour! You’ll be glad you did!

We had a great time exploring places we’ve driven by many times with a group who quickly became our friends. The background that Gabrielle provides is fantastic. Hospitality at the winery was exceptional!

We went on this tour with some friends, and made some new ones! The day was beautiful and the itinerary was perfect! I had only ever driven over Malad Gorge so I never knew how worth seeing it was! Absolutely impressive from the pedestrian bridge and side of canyon! My pictures don't do it justice! I learned so much on this tour too, like the fact that the aquifer here is one of the biggest in the world! (Which explains why waterfalls come pouring out of the middle of what look like canyon walls on the scenic byway!) The valley was gorgeous, and the drive was the perfect length. I really enjoyed the winery and I thought the wine and service was fantastic! All in all a perfect day, and so nice not to have to drive it myself! Gabrielle, the tour guide, was such a lovely host, and so knowledgeable! It felt like going out with a good friend, who just happened to know EVERYTHING about the area! I recommend this tour highly, and plan to take my friends and relatives when they come to the area!
