Had such a good day on this tour. The bus was easy to find, the driver was friendly and the whole vibe was relaxed. We got to hop on and off without any rush, and each winery had its own charm. Great views, great wine, great energy. Perfect way to spend an afternoon in Queenstown.
Great way to go...

We had an incredible experience with the Queenstown HOHO bus! We’ve done a few of these experiences in Aus and now NZ, what a blast. Such a great way to see so many wineries covering the region in Otago (without the worry of having to drive or rely on lifts!). Our driver was amazing, friendly & very great at communicating the schedule. We even got a personalised service drop off in Arrowtown (where we were staying) given it was a quieter day. thank you so much to the Hoho team! We will be recommending to all travelling to Queenstown!
A wonderful time

This was a great experience. Having the option to visit whichever wineries or taverns we wanted to was convenient as we could sample different locations without having to give it much thought. Our driver was fantastic and offered lots of information and recommendations about each stop.
Very Fun!

It'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

You 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

A 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!
