Enjoy spectacular scenery, fascinating local history and more importantly taste some great wines. Tours depart daily from Queenstown all year round. Join your wine guide on a relaxed, personalised tour and visit a selection of boutique wineries. We keep our tours small and travelling time to a minimum, so there is plenty of time for you to sample fine wine, food and local cheeses whilst interacting with winery personnel. Complimentary pick up and drop off from accommodation or central Queenstown. For those who prefer the exclusivity of a private guide and vehicle, we offer three private tours exploring the wine areas of Gibbston Valley and Bannockburn. If you are keen to get on the water or in the air, we offer daily Helicopter or Jet Boat combos. Or if you prefer the ultimate relaxation package, try our spa and wine experience. « less

This wine tour was a fabulous experience. Our guide, Brendan, was simply outstanding. We were lucky to have only 4 people on the tour, so it was very personal. We were treated superbly and even my husband who doesn't drink wine really enjoyed the whole afternoon. This is excellent value for money - and a really great way to see... More

Each winery was differant and interesting. Our... More

Very enjoyable afternoon visiting some great local vineyards. Guide had good knowledge of wine and its production. Very friendly atmosphere with no pressure to buy. Tried some great wines - opened my taste buds to pinot noir. One of the best things I've done in NZ. More

We went on a four hour tour to Gibbston, Peregrine, Amisfield, and one other winery and loved it. We also stopped at the AJ Hackett Bridge and watched people bungy jump. The tour was relaxed and there wasn't a feeling that we were being pressured to buy anything or rushed for time. It was a great afternoon. More

There was just my husband and I and two Spanish tourists. Went to Gibbston Valley wines and Peregrine Wines. Enjoyed the cheese tasting and lunch at Gibbston Wines as well as the Wine Cave talk and tasting. We did the 3.5 hour Summer Sampler tour which was at a leisurely pace and meant we had time to do things once... More

The tour guide had a great depth of knowledge of the local wine. Each stop on the trail included extensive wine tasting with no pressure to buy. We included lunch at the Gibbston winery, the food and atmosphere were both beautiful. More

We have done several wine tours in different countries and this one is pretty much average. Our driver was nice enough but didn't really have an extensive knowledge of wines. The wineries were very nice with a good variety of wines and the scenery was nice on the way there and back. More

At Gibbston Valley Winery we received a brief explanation on the history and techniques used in the region to grow and make wine, a tour of the cave where the Pinot... More

We took Lance's tour last year not quite sure what to expect, but we were very happy with the service and wine experience. We were picked up from our Arrowtown accommodation on the dot with Lance's minibus. There were about five other couples on board. We started at Gibbston Valley with a wine cave tour and tasting. Then we had... More
