Best wine tour of my life!

5.00An absolutely outstanding experience. Emma and her adorable dog Bella made this the best wine tour I’ve ever been on. The smaller, more intimate group size really sets this tour apart and allows for a thoughtfully curated experience from start to finish. If you’re in Queenstown, this is an absolute must-do.
Lovely Wine Tasting

5.00We had a swell time on this tour with our wonderful driver guide Emma. She was very friendly, approachable and knowledge and helped us learn a lot about wines. There was also some flexibility in the types of wines we could choose to try from each winery, which we appreciated. All in all, a very lovely afternoon. Highly recommended.

Nice tasting but no vineyards-

3.00Although our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, we really didnt visit vineyards, just the tasting rooms. Two of the spokespersons for the wineries were very knowledgeable and friendly whereas at one, he barely showed up to pour us some wine. We had nice places to sit and were very comfortable but no actual vineyards were seen. I would have loved to visit the actual vineyards and sit outside to hear their stories. There was really no food served but after asking, we were allowed to buy some appetizers at second vineyard. Should be advertised to eat lunch first. Tour was from 3-6:30. We did get to taste many different wines which was nice, but I guess the ambiance of the vineyards was missing for us. It was such a lovely day to be herded inside but there was no place to sit outside.
Great Vineyard Wine Tasting Afternoon
