Turn a free afternoon in Queenstown into one of the best parts of your trip — without planning a thing.
Designed for couples and friends, this adults-only tour (max 10 guests) is relaxed, social, and fully hosted from start to finish.
Instead of wandering town or joining a rushed mixed group, you’ll visit Peregrine, Kinross, and Amisfield with a knowledgeable local host who handles everything — so the afternoon flows effortlessly.
Enjoy a hosted tasting across multiple boutique producers at Kinross, plus premium cellar door experiences at each stop.
Three wineries. Perfectly paced. Back in town by early evening.
Most guests say this becomes a highlight of their trip — and with just 10 seats per tour, it often books out. If your date is available, it’s worth securing.

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.
