Overview

Join the Twilight Wine & Craft Beer Tour for an entertaining afternoon wine and beer tasting tour.

Meet your friendly local guide in the Queenstown town centre and then travel out and enjoy exploring the Gibbston wine region and Arthurs point before returning to central Queenstown. Visit award winning cellar doors offering unique collections of both local wines and craft beers.

Throughout the afternoon, enjoy three unique tasting experiences at a mix of both wineries and breweries, finishing off with shared platters. Prefer a Pale Ale over a Pinot Noir? At each location choose between either wine or beer tastings while hosted by exceptional cellar door staff and your tour guide.

Departing in the afternoon, this tour allows you to make the most of your time in Queenstown. Whether you've just arrived that day or spent the morning exploring, this tour easily fits into your afternoon while still getting you back to Queenstown in time to enjoy your evening.

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
