5.00It's a really fun wine tour! You can pick from 23 different stops and you can go to a maximum of 6 of them if you hop back on the bus every time it comes back. The only restriction is you can't go backwards on the list, but there are two stops that repeat. Most places have snacks and a few of the stops are taverns with full menus. My top 3 spots were: Mt Rosa: Had the best wine in several styles. The staff was really friendly and fun to chat with while walking through all of their wines. Nockies Palette: Easily the best scenery of the wineries. It's run by a painter and the whole place is laid out in a storybook/fairy tale style. Their wines are good too with the standout being an amazing Chardonnay. The Winery Arrowtown: Not actually a winery, it's a big tasting room with a bunch of automated wine dispensers so you can try a lot of things in small samples or get full glasses of the ones you like. You could almost do a wine tour with just this place.
Great day trip option for Queenstown

5.00You definitely should get the full day tour. Some wineries are a good way out of town. The driver, George, was outstanding, on time and entertaining.
Great day out amongst the vines

5.00A fantastic way to see Arrow Town, Ayrburn and as many wineries, gin bars, breweries at your own pace. You can spend the min time at a destination or wait , have lunch and some drinks and get picked up on the second time slot and carry on until 5.30 when you are dropped back to the meeting place . Peter our driver was on time every time and was a great source of information. I would 100% recommend this trip. Best day!
Second time round a dream!

5.00Pete, our driver, had plenty of local information which was relevant and interesting. Ayrburn was our favourite winery and Arrowtown was such a quaint place to visit with great coffee
A must while in Queenstown!

5.00This was a fantastic tour! Without it, I think I would have missed a lot while in South Island. George our driver was great company, the beauty of this region is beyond explanation. I stopped in Arrowtown, The Church and Airfield, I wanted to stop in Frankton thinking it was a different town but it was just Queenstown again. So I passed. It was the most unforgettable birthday ever. A lovely farmer allowed me to see his sheeps and cows in one of the stops. My conversation and the animals were an experience I won't forget.
Great tour

5.00Got picked up at Arrowtown at 9.55am. Checked out the museum and surrounding site seeing spots before being picked up. Headed to Ayrburn for my first stop. Really really beautiful place. Had a good Cinnamon roll and coffee at the bakehouse. Next stop was Nockie's Palette. Fantastic winery. The GSM was my overall favorite to drink. Spent several hours there drinking wine talking to staff. Definitely a must vist place. After Nockie's Palette went to Kinross to sample some more delicious wine. View was great everyone was enjoying themselves. Back to Queenstown while enjoying the view and talking to other guests. Great day. Great view. Great Wines. Great Vibes.
