This tour was 100% worth it! The wineries we went to were all so different and fantastic! Our guide, Martin, was very knowledgeable and fun! A great way to spend an afternoon in the Queenstown area!

What an absolutely superb day made so with lovely scenery, gorgeous wineries, exquisite and the beautiful pink haired guide....... Oh my goodness, I've forgotten her name ...... what a beautiful personality, excellent and articulate guide and knowledgeable. I have already booked my flight to and from Queenstown from Melbourne for February 2027. I will most certainly be joining you again for one of your tours.... mmmm, the wine and whiskey tour looks good.

We loved our wine tour!! We had so much fun and the wines were great. We did feel that the last stop was a little rushed by the winery but other than that we had a great time! Lunch was great and our tour guide was kind!

I was unaware that I loved Pinot Noir! Thanks to Craig and his selection of several excellent wineries I am now a Pinot Noir fan and specifically a NZ Pinot Noir fan. A case is winging its was home as we speak!

Taimi was a very competent tour guide who took us to three selected wine cellars. It was very interesting and delicious. Taimi has been able to create a travel unit from a loosely thrown together group.

Our group had a wonderful time on board this tour, run by our friendly guide Craig. We were take to a variety of locations which all had something different to offer not only in types of wines but different views of the beautiful landscapes that this region has to offer. Each winery was unique and the hosts very knowledgeable. Craig was informative, personable and gave us a great experience. Highly recommend!
