The Original Queenstown Wine Trail Tour – Celebrating 33+ Years!
Description
Come with us and enjoy a wine tour with top service and flexibility. Tour Highlights Take this afternoon tour and experience the true flavour of our local pinot noir and other wine varietals at three premium vineyards. Enjoy a guided tour through the vines and into New Zealand’s largest underground wine cave. This relaxing tour travels just a short distance from Queenstown where you will be given in-depth wine tastings and presentations at each vineyard. There is a lunch stop included, so you have plenty of time to unwind and get yourself a winery lunch or sample a selection of local cheeses, craft beer, coffee - all available.

Enjoyed the variety of wines at 3 wineries; Kinross was exceptional tasting; Blake was a fun guide with the range of guests; good number of guests who all enjoyed each other's company
Hi Jacky, Thank you so much for your five star review! We delight when we get to host kiwi's. Thank you for choosing to tour with us, Blake will be chuffed to read your kind words, and we look forward to hosting you again one day, perhaps on our full day Central Otago Wine Tour. Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew 💛
Awesome wine trail tour of three Queenstown well established wineries. We all had a really enjoyable day with our excellent tour host/driver who was very knowledgeable showing us the sites of the wider area having lived in the area for a number of years. We all had an absolutely brilliant day and would highly recommend to others. AA++.
We visited 3 wineries and had lunch at the first. Lunch was excellent. Middle winery wines were mediocre. Other 2 were good. Beautiful scenery and easy drive from Queenstown. Our driver and guide, Claire, was knowledgeable and friendly and well organized. Only issue was that my ticket and email confirmation showed a 12 pm departure. I showed up at the pickup point at 11:45, to discover they were expecting me at 11:40, but nobody had informed me.
We had a great time, the wineries were beautiful, wine was lovely and the guides at each winery were very informative and friendly. Fabien our driver was super friendly, engaging and really added to the enjoyment, and we loved that it was a small group, especially as we got on so well with everyone!
Hi Jade, Thank you so much for your fabulous 5 star review of your 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 with us. As a small family company, words like "𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹, 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆" are exactly what we aim for, so we're thrilled you had a 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 out with Fabien. He will be delighted to hear he added to the enjoyment — he loves bringing a little energy and fun to the afternoon! And we couldn’t agree more, there’s nothing better than a small group that just clicks. We’d love to welcome you back sometime for more wine adventures. Ngā mihi nui, The Queenstown Wine Trail Team 💛
Wonderful wine tastings with Claire. We made new friends with members in our group.
Fabian wass an amazing guide :)
T was a fantastic driver and guide, such a fun afternoon and great wine tasting! Really recommend this trip for an enjoyable experience!
A perfect day in wine country NZ. Claire was a wonderful host and tour guide. The wineries were all fabulous. Lunch at Kinross was excellent as was Bailey who introduced us to all our tastings. All 3 wineries were fabulous and picturesque. It was great to start at 11.30am, not too early. And back by 5pm. Plenty of opportunity to by wine and other produce. A definite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me.
One of the best Eine Tours we have been. Very good wines to taste along with very knowledgeable guides in all 3 of the Wineries, the your guide was exceptional.
Such an informative tour, and Claire, our driver and guide, was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this experience/tour to anyone wanting to taste great wines and learn more about the wineries on the tour.
