Good but maybe include some nibbles

4.00The driver while lovely and gave great insight into the area and where we were going, was essentially just our transportation/liason between venues. Given the length of the tour, I think a few snacks or nibbles could have been included to glam up the experience a little. It was a shame the wine dog didn't really like men and was a bit snappy and was wearing a nappy. There were 4 of us travelling together and a couple and yes we did enjoy ourselves but... Stop 1. I felt the wine guy did his best but was busy. Stop 2. The gin guy was a great story teller but I think I would have liked a better look around Arrowtown as well. We stood for the whole experience. Stop 3. The brewer guy, nice but it was a quick rushed spiel and here's your beer.
Emma was an amazing tour...

5.00Wonderful tour! Our tour guide, Emma, was fabulous and gave us a lot of good information about Queenstown. All of the stops were great and the staff knowledgeable about their product. Phillip at Rifter’s was by far the best. Highly recommend. Make sure you eat something before you go!
Emma is amazing 👏

5.00We toured canyon brewing which had beautiful views and tasty beer, we followed up with broken heart gin distillery where we learned about its history and the gin choices were quite good as well. We ended at Ayrburn winery which had a beautiful small Christmas village vibe to it, and the wines there were spectacular. My wife and I were the only ones on The tour considering it was a Monday in the off-season, our guide Gessica was fantastic, she was very knowledgeable about the area and the tastings it was a delight to have her as a guide!
We enjoyed the tour, Emma...

4.00We enjoyed the tour, Emma was knowledgeable and a lovely guide, venues were great, although the last venue, the winery was a bit rushed. The 3pm start was great, giving us almost a full day to do other things. A complementary cheese platter or tapas at the end would have been a nice touch.
Was relaxed and the hosts of every business we visited were very knowledgeable, great afternoon out
