Such a terrific day exploring amazing scenery, sampling delicious wines and eating delicious food. Our tour guide Blake, was great providing helpful suggestions and local information. We loved our e-bike tour - easy pick up service and the trails are well looked after. I would highly recommend this tour.
Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and sharing your fabulous pictures! We’re thrilled you had such a terrific day on our Queenstown E-Bike & Wine Hopper Tour with Blake. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the scenic e-bike ride, easy pick-up service, and mix of delicious wines and food along the way. That balance of adventure and relaxed wine tasting is exactly what we aim for on "The Hopper". We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another Queenstown wine adventure soon. Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew ❤️
The two-hour bike tour before the wine tour was a real highlight. The autumn colours were spectacular, and the e-bike made it easy to take in the stunning countryside without too much effort. Blake was a fantastic guide. He took us to some wonderful wineries and made excellent recommendations throughout the day. He shared just enough of his own story to help us get to know him, while also showing genuine interest in our lives. One of the best guides I’ve had in a long time.
Hi Despina, Thank you so much for your incredible review and sharing your fab photos too! We’re delighted you had such a great day on our Queenstown E-Bike & Wine Hopper Tour with Blake. The autumn colours in Central Otago really are something special right now! And the e-bike ride is such a great way to take it all in before settling into an afternoon exploring our wineries. It’s fantastic to hear Blake looked after you so well, he has a great way of balancing knowledge, recommendations, and genuine connection with guests. “One of the best guides” is high praise, he’ll be absolutely stoked to read that! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you back for another Queenstown wine adventure. Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew ❤️
6 stars if i was able to add an extra one for our guide Claire. Amazing, funny, knowledgeable, and clearly an “insider” who knows the various winery and personnel within. Day trip into the local Gibson valley winery scene. Choose your adventure starting point from a morning bike ride through a scenic local trail to low effort pickup and go from the passenger van. All roads lead to the wineries. The day unfolds based off the passenger preferences on winery visits where the guide will determine the most efficient path for each guest. Thus the hop on and off dynamic. All thats required is sit back and let the day unfold cause you just need to trust the guide like a 20 course omakase experience.
Hi Donny, WOW!! 🙌 Thanks so much for your epic review and sharing your photos! We’re absolutely stoked you had such a great day out on our Queenstown E-Bike & Wine Tour with Claire. She’ll love the 6 star shoutout, she really is an insider and brings so much fun and knowledge to the day, as she's a WSET qualified Wine Guide! That “choose your own adventure” style is exactly what we aim for, from the scenic morning e-bike ride through Gibbston Valley to the relaxed afternoon exploring Central Otago wineries at your own pace. Trusting the guide like an omakase experience is one of the best descriptions we’ve ever heard! 😄 Thank you, really appreciate you taking the time to share this, it captures our wine tour experience perfectly. Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew ❤️
