We visit both boutique and large wineries in the region to offer you a comprehensive sample of the region’s best wines. Our unique vineyard tour follows the life of wine from grapes through to the glass, to show you what it takes to make Central Otago’s finest wines.
We visit the region’s only Aroma Room where you can experience many sensuous aromas commonly identified in wine. All tours come with lunch, free snacks and access to our onboard WiFi.
Our vans are spacious and comfortable, our service is professional and our commitment to your satisfaction is unrivaled. Jake personally guarantees every tour experience, if you are in any way unsatisfied with your tour – Jake will make it right.
These tours are limited to just 7 people per tour so we can customise the wineries we visit. This means every tour is adapted to meet the needs of the people on board and we don’t visit the same wineries every day!
Central Otago is a stunning mountain landscape with many exceptional vistas – we make stops at many of the regions best scenic look-outs and historical hot-spots, including the Crown Range Lookout, the Cromwell Old Town, the Kawarau Bungy Bridge, and Arrowtown’s Historic Town Center – A camera and comfortable shoes are highly recommended!
Discover the history of the production of wine in Queenstown on the Queenstown Wine Trail offering a fun, personalised and friendly sightseeing tour of vineyards and wineries in Queenstown and Central Otago. We visit a wide range of wineries, but some of our most popular stops include Amisfield Winery, Peregrine Wines, Gibbston Valley Winery, Mt Difficulty, Wild Earth Wines and Chard Farm. We keep our groups small, we maximise the time you spend actually tasting the wine, cutting down travelling time and giving you the chance to savour every sip. Enjoy a glass of New Zealand’s famous pinot noir, sit down to a winery lunch or taste the full spectrum of varietals.
Whether your palate is well-developed or simply enthusiastic, if you love wine, we have the wine tour for you.
