What To Expect
Gibbston Valley Winery
The first stop of the day is at the iconic Gibbston Valley Winery. Gibbston Valley is one of the region's founding wineries and it's here that we will join a guided tour through New Zealand's largest underground wine cave and enjoy tastings of some of their world-famous wines.
Kinross is our second stop and a fantastic location to try a range of different wines across multiple labels. Along with producing their own wines, their cellar door host will also showcase wines from smaller producers and share their incredible stories of how they came to be. After your wine tasting, we allow extra time to enjoy lunch. Kinross has a range of delicious dishes on its menu, including pizzas, platters, smaller bites, and mains. This is ordered and paid directly on the day, giving you the flexibility to order what you would like based on your taste and budget.

Disappointed by misleading conduct.

2.00The tour company on enquiry and booking confirmed we would be going to Chard Farm, that is 6 of the people booking. Upon collection there were two additional people taking the group to 8. Shortly after collection we were advised by the guided that she had been told that morning we were not going to Chard Farm, she didn’t exactly know why. It thought it was due to an event at the winery. As would image the 6 of us were annoyed as we would have likely gone an alternative day. When we visited the winery two days later at an additional cost we were advised the tour operator had mislead us as we were informed they well know Chard Farm only do tasting groups of no greater than 6.

5.00We had an awesome time on the 4 wineries tour with Southern Discoveries in Queenstown. Anna was absolutely amazing , very friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole day so much fun. The wineries were all different and the wines were excellent. We loved getting to try such a variety of local wines and learning more about the region along the way. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Queenstown. We would definitely do it again!
Outstanding.

5.00Wonderful tour. Our guide, Anna, with Altitude Tours was outstanding. She knows the area. She knows her wines. She is a safe driver and made the journey fun and interesting. She also took us to some extra out-of-the-way places to enjoy the autumn scenery. We went to four wineries for tasting. We had a very nice lunch at one of them (Kinross Winery). Thank you for a great day.
Perfect wine tour in every way. Fun fun fun!!!

5.00If you're looking for a fun day, this is it! From beginning to end, this was a perfect day touring the 4 wineries in the Queenstown area. Got picked up at our hotel in a luxury (Mercedes) van. Our guide, Do, was fun, energetic, and engaging! And she was super cool too! The wineries were top notch. We even bought a case to ship back to Miami and can't wait for it's arrival. We had a small friendly group and we all drank, laughed, made some friends, and overall can't say enough about this tour. By the end of the tour, we were all singing on the bus to great tunes. Look no further than here. Thank you Do! (I won't give away her name as Do is short for....you'll just have to guess when you go on the tour)
Excellent wine tour

5.00Fantastic tour and fantastic tour guide with Do at Altitude. Would particularly like to compliment Do on her thoughtfully curated playlist for the van, especially on the way back! The four wineries were amazing with plenty to taste along the way. Do's history and explanation of the wineries was also excellent. Strongly recommend this.
Excellent Day Trip!

5.00Wonderful day trip. The scenery is stunning in and around Queenstown. The driver, Beth, was on-time, entertaining, and helpful. Our tour took us to 4 different wineries, which means by the end you will have sampled 15-20 different wines! Pace yourself! It’s almost too much of a good thing!
