5.00We did the Gourmet Food and Wine tour. There were 11 of us on the trip, door to door service…visited 4 vineyards and had a gourmet lunch ( venison, beef& goat ragout, duck, pork, and salmon wings) with each course paired with a wine. All fabulous. In addition, we stopped in Arrowtown for a 30 minute look-see (great coffee at Coffee Roasters). John our driver was great, wry sense of humor and very funny, and attentive. He serve as a true tour guide, giving us the history of the area. 9-4:30pm. Great day. Well work it.
Great and complete experience.

5.00For different vineyards visited, all with their own wines, and some history and information. The third vineyard provided a delicious lunch with the wine, and a cheese board at the fourth. Between that, there's a drive through the beautiful area. It driver Jimmy was a very competent driver, and had some interesting facts and funny comments on wine and the general area. For the price, it's a well filled day with plenty of tasty wines and good food. Highly recommended!
Great day!

The barrel cooked lunch was so delicious and highlight of the tour.I liked they had the wine and food aligned to compliment each other.All 4 winery had incredible whites and red wines .I would do this tour again if I come back to Queenstown. It's so good.
And the wine was good too!
