We had the pleasure of touring on the Wine Hopper Bus with Lance (driver) yesterday. We joined two other couples from NZ and enjoyed 4 wineries, tastings and lunch. The bus was clean and very comfortable and Lance provided outstanding commentary with amazing knowledge not only of the wines and the Otago region, but much of the history of the local area. The current roadworks around Queenstown created traffic issues, but with his local knowledge of the roads, Lance was able to bypass all of the traffic jams and deliver us back into Queenstown safely and in a timely way. We can highly recommend this wine tour with the leisurely nature and flexibility of the tour. Thank you Lance and happy retirement!! - Peter & Elaine - Mornington Peninsula , Victoria, Australia

Such an awesome friendly service from pick up to drop off. Debs was accomodating, clear with times and is such a nice person. We would definitely use this service again, as it’s a great way to adventure around the vineyards. Thanks again

Excellent way to get around all the vineyards safely. Andrew, our guide, was really friendly and willing to plan the day around which vineyards we'd like to visit. Highly recommend this.

We were very lucky to have Debbie as our tour guide on the easy and fun wine tour. The wine tour takes you to the best vineyards in Otago (just outside Queenstown). Debbie asked us what we would like to do and tailored our trip to our needs. The bus is comfortable and roomy. I would recommend lunch at Gibson Valley Vineyard (which Debbie recommended).

Thanks for the great review and we're glad that Debs made your Hopper day fun! We love the food at Gibbston Winery too.

We were on the hopper at 10am and back in early evening. We had a fabulous day and visited some lovely little quirky places and wineries. There was absolutely no pressure from the driver to stick to any itinerary and only had to text him if we wanted to move on to our next stop. You could stay all day at the one winery if you wanted or go to as many you could fit in. We started at Gibbston Winery which we were glad we could get it out of the way, least favourite of the day re tastings and atmosphere. Had a yummy chicken pizza at Gibbston Tavern for lunch. Have been to Queenstown/Arrowtown/Wanaka area many times and would have driven past this place also numerous times and didn’t know it existed. It was a rustic old place but we really enjoyed it. Would recommend Mt Rosa and Brennan wineries, good tastings. Rockburn was a little disappointing with their miniature tastes and cost was on par with the others which were more generous. Our favourite of the day and at no charge was Peregrine. This was not on the Hoppers destination but we asked to be dropped there and then walked to the tavern from there which isn’t far. We felt the young lady at Peregrine gave good tasting notes too and the architecture of the building is impressive. We bought bottles of their wine to take home. We had a very friendly driver on our tour Angus who even bought out his guitar and sang some songs at our last stop which was Waitiri wines and Cargo Brewing. Would recommend doing this full day tour, it would be wonderful on a summers day as the wineries all had outdoor tables and chairs. We might just do that another time.

Well organised, very flexible but also could provide recommendations. Wineries are great, I was sceptical about wineries but the wines are seriously good. Kinross is a multi-branded outlet that requires a booking which the team organised for us, sensational wines. Mt Rosa is a lovely place to eat a platter and taste great wine. We did the bike riding from Arrowtown first which was great with the family, not too difficult. Would 100% recommend you do this.

Having not done a wine tour before I didn't know what to expect. I must have started with the best as it was a faultless afternoon. Andrew our driver was very knowledgeable and keep our afternoon moving at our own pace. So relaxing and so much fun. I'll be back again. Thank you

We had Andrew as our tour driver and he was fantastic. Andrew is very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. The afternoon was amazing and it felt like we were on our own personalised wine tour as we didn’t have to stick to a set timetable due to Andrew’s flexibility and making sure everyone was accommodated. We would highly recommend booking through Wine Hopper bus.

From the moment I called to book, everything went effortlessly.
Booking was confirmed, we got a txt reminder and on the day because it was raining, a call to arrange a drier collection point in Arrowtown.
Andrew our guide was extremely knowledgeable and nothing was a problem.
We had a fantastic day, explored 5 wineries and will definitely be back. We enjoyed personalised service and were dropped to our doorstep on the way home. Highly recommend Wine Hopper!! Please support these local kiwi businesses in this tough Covid time.
