Great food, wine and company!
May 2021 • Couples
If you are going to experience wines of this region this is the best way to explore different wineries. Lance was our very knowledgable (and fun!) tour guide, not only from a wine perspective but advise on other activities to do and see around Queenstown. We enjoyed a wonderful pairing of food and wine for our lunch, then headed off to a few other wineries, we highly recommend Wine Trails!

Exceptional wine tour... great customer service... great day!
Jan 2023
Group of 6 (including children) had a GREAT time on our Food and Wine tour.
Angus was such a great guide and made our day extra special. The wineries were great, food and wine pairing was amazing at Kinross and the service from this company was exceptional!

The great customer service started even before the tour, Heather and Andrew were great at communicating with us and accommodating for the kids and dietary needs.

We highly recommend booking a tour with Queenstown Wine Trail... you won't regret it! Next time we visit, we'll be booking another personalised tour.

Thank you! xx

Don’t do any other wine tour - this is it
Oct 2020 • Friends
Awesome private tour with Lance through the Bannockburn region. We visited five wineries, all of them markedly different from each other - a large estate, a husband and wife cellar door, a place that brings together several different vineyards together.
Included was a delicious winery lunch, transport and some great yarns along the way.
Would highly recommend.

Beautiful scenery, wine and food
Jul 2022 • Solo
Had a wonderful afternoon doing this wine tour.
The guide (forgot his name but think it was Ed) was very knowledgeable, really lovely and as I can’t have red wines, he was always making sure the wineries knew about it so I could stick with the whites.
The food with matching wines at Kinross was delicious and overall a beautiful day. Oh and great wines as well 😊

Angus is a wine tour god! Amazing!
Apr 2023 • Family
Angus was so knowledgeable and patient, rearranging our tour as we spent more time than expected at the wineries allowing us to really savour the wines and relax. Definitely the best wine tour I have ever been on (and that’s including tours in Europe and California). A 1/2 day was not enough, could’ve easily spent the entire day enjoying wines with amazing guidance from Angus. The wineries are lovely and close by to Queenstown so you don’t have to go far to get good quality. Lunch was fabulous as well. You will not regret this tour!

Great Trip!
Jul 2020 • Couples
My wife and our Aunty and uncle did the hop on hop off bus back in July. I can’t say enough positive things about this tour it’s a great option and allows you the freedom to see the vineyards you really wanted to see. Andrew was great and made the tour very easy and enjoyable, he was extremely flexible to what we wanted to see. I have done their original tour and that’s fantastic and well structured too for anyone wanting that option. Will definitely be back to do it again

Hello and thank you for taking the time to review our tours. It seems you joined our Queenstown Wine Trail fully guided tour a while back and now you have come again to take a tour with Andrew on our Wine Hopper Bus. I'm glad you enjoyed this relaxed style of hopping on and off the bus at the wineries of your choice. You will know the wine area now having come with us twice but do come again as there is a wonderful selection of Wineries and Breweries out there now. Glad you and your family had fun. Thanks for coming.

A fun-filled day!
Mar 2023 • Solo
A fun-filled day where we got to see a beautiful side of New Zealand - wine country. The three places we visited were all very different and each one was a learning experience. I know mich more about wine now & I am grateful to Andrew & his team for sharing their expertise. A day to remember!

Great way to enjoy 3 wineries and not drive!
Jan 2020
We were picked up at our hotel and shared the day with about 10 others. The driver was great and we visited a tasting center which represented a number of small vineyards and got to sample a variety of wines. After that stop we visited two other vineyards and thoroughly enjoyed each one! Although we had a rental car, this tour was an easy way to get a wonderful sample of the pinot noirs and other varietals grown here without having to drive!

Bannockburns Finest full day trip
Apr 2023
We had the greatest day out with Andrew! Yes it is a little further to go, and the day is a little longer but it is so worth it for the views, the wines, and the lunch! Adrew was super flexible and explained how everything worked and set up the lunch timing for us, he took care of everything, and we just lapped up what central had to offer, we particualrly loved Mt Difficulty and Carrick was awesome too - nice spot for pizza with a view! The pinots were world class, and so was our driver. Cheers Andrew for the best day - if you've got the time and the extra dough, do this one.
