- Wendyontour7900Awesome afternoon outEmma was a great host. Great afternoon out! Was a great tour to do. Unique with great variety. Amazing scenery.
- N2097AYdianew00Private Tour and SPECTACULAR!!!Starting with the comfortable and luxurious transportation, we were picked up by Emma, and she was most friendly!!! Considering she is a Native of Queenstown, how lovely it was to have her take us on a private tour/AA journey featuring wine, spirits, and beer…all from New Zealand and made in the local region!!! I must also say…the dinner selections were quite delicious, as we dined at 3 different locations and enjoyed the food options as well as selected locations immensely!!! How happy we were to learn of a company that afforded us either a Private Tour option OR small-group tour…for those who like intimate settings!!! Enjoy!
- jennifermH6621LN00The best food and wine tourA fabulous experience and way to visit and learn about beautiful wineries and restaurants around Queenstown. Emma our host and driver was such a delight, friendly, experienced and made our day so pleasurable. Great driver, van was clean, comfortable and warm. Choice of wineries and restaurants suited everyone's tastes. Can't give this experience enough praise. Is a definite must on your holiday itinerary. Thank you Emma. :)
- SMPinOz00Three different wineries, three meals, nine wines - what’s not to like.What a great way to taste some of New Zealand’s wonderful wines, while having a meal at three different restaurants/wineries where we did entree at one, main at the next, and desert at the third. Emma was a wonderful tour guide and host and each venue, a perfect place to spend the day.

This wine tour was wonderful. Our guide Vicky was so welcoming and funny, she was so knowledgeable about the wine and from the first minute, we knew we were in good hands. The three vineyards were in such beautiful locations and it was a perfect way to see the wine country. Each stop was very informative and we enjoyed wine tasting as a smaller group as well as joining other groups. We went as part of our honeymoon and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a half-day tour in Queenstown.

From the moment Vicki picked us up until the moment she dropped us back at our accommodation, I enjoyed this tour. Vicki made this tour one of the best winery tours I have ever done (and I have been on quite a few round the world). Each winery was different and the staff friendly and informative. Wines were excellent and I must have liked them because I even made some purchases.

Emma was easy to communicate with and met our needs by collecting us from our desired pick up and drop off point.
We started with a great ride toward the Gibbston valley while being given a great commentary about the region and the wine makers visions and history.
When we where arrived we did the wine cave tour at Gibbston valley. We tasted about 5 wines.
From here we travelled onto Kinross winery where we tried a great selection of their different winemakers labels. Valli Bendigo Pinot noir is our firm favourite 😍
Even pleasantly surprised by the Kinross Sauvignon Blanc- not bad for a non Sav drinker.
Onto Akarua for lunch and another wine tasting , this was fab.
We had the tasting right at our lunch table. table
Warm olives 🫒 to start and two specials to choose from , their salmon dish and a beef cheek pie…. I Couldn’t go past the pie nom nom.
This was served with a mixed green salad.
Some of these wines were our highlight.
Fabulous grounds to dine at.
Sadly things came to an end…. Off home to digest the countless wine tastings and good food!
Well done Emma!
Thanks for looking after us.
Can’t wait to do the progressional dinner

Was a great day. Vicki was an awesome guide with such a great sense if humor! As for the lunch, when Vicki recommends the pulled pork belly pie and says its delicious, she is not lying. The wine tour and tastings were devine. Can't wait for our wine we purchased to arrive!

My wife and I decided to go on a wine tour with our friends as they were visiting us for the weekend. We reached out to Emma and she fitted us into a day that suited us and even picked us up and dropped us off at Jacks Point. We went to Gibbston Valley and into the cave for a tasting followed by another tasting at Kinross and lunch at Akarua. All great wineries with great wine. We had such a fun day and would highly recommend this tour and company for a fun wine tour around Queenstown. We will no doubt contact Emma for another tour soon.

Amazing morning!! Absolutely loved every minute of it and was an awesome thing to do on our girls trip. Everyone was so lovely, especially our wonderful van driver Vickie and Bindi from Gibbston valley winery. Would definitely recommend to anyone even if you don’t know anything about wine beforehand (like me)! 10/10 experience

A great tour showcasing Otago wines. Emma picked us up in a comfortable minibus was very friendly and engaging with all 11 of us on her tour. We stopped at three vineyards had generous tastings at each . Pinot noir the star of the regions wines! A great lunch at Kinross started the day as strangers left as friends! Happy day in Queenstown would throughly recommend!

This was our 3rd attempt to book our Valley of the Vines wine tour with lunch trip due to the various lockdowns but it was well worth the wait, so much so we are already considering our next trip.
Emma arrived right on time and was professional, friendly and impressively knowledgable on both wines and vineyards. The transport was excellent being clean and in excellent condition. The planning of the tour was clearly well considered. You can always tell you've enjoyed something when you're engaged and time passes quickly.
Overall, I would classify this tour as a 5 star executive experience and I look forward to another tour in the future.

We had a group your with 8 friends and it was amazing! We got picked up from our Air Bnb and Emma was so friendly. Mt Rosa was the first stop and best! Second stop was Kinross but felt a bit rushed by the person serving us wine as before we could finish the glass she was pouring the next! Third stop was Gibbston valley with Bindi our wine tour guide. Have to say she was the best and gave us the info we asked for and didn't over do it. The cave tour was amazing and we got some great pictures.
Overall a great experience and highly recommended!!
Thanks Emma for the great experience.

Hi Mish,
We loved having you all join us as it was so much fun! I'll pass on the feedback to Kinross as we had plenty of time with the private wine cave tour afterwards and will let Bindi know at Gibbston Valley Wines that you all enjoyed her.
Thanks again for sharing your wine tour experience with us and leaving us such an amazing review as we really value and appreciate it.
