Overview

Start your day by meeting your wine-certified guide at or near your Queenstown accommodation. Then travel into the Gibbston wine region, home to top-rated wineries, accomplished winemakers, and, of course, delicious Pinot Noir.

Throughout the day, enjoy four separate tasting experiences, sampling a variety of local wines at both boutique cellar doors and well-known locations, including a visit to the wine cave at Gibbston Valley. Be hosted by your friendly wine guide and cellar staff, who will educate and entertain you with local winemaking facts and stories. You also have the option of indulging in a scrumptious lunch at a local winery bistro (additional cost ordered on the day).

We're all about pairing good people with good wine, whether you're recharging your batteries, a wine enthusiast, or simply looking for a delightful experience. Join us on a top-rated, award-winning wine-tasting journey.
