5.00It was a great day, a good size group of people, Blake our tour guide was fantastic, the lunch was incredible and the highlight was the wine tasting in the wine cave - would’ve loved more time at Gibbston Valley Wines with the group but it was a great day and not too rushed
Great

4.00Very great experience, top food be Kinross and top tastings at Gibbston and Kinross. Our guide Blake was very sympathetic and did his job confidently. What a pity was that instead of Mt. Pink visited Waitiri Creek Winery. We were not informed about this change of plan beforehand and we would have loved to visit this winery.
Amazing day out with Claire and the Queenstown Wine Trail

5.00I joined the Queenstown Wine & Food Tour earlier this month, and it honestly turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. The weather couldn’t have been better. Our guide Claire was fantastic. She’s friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the region. She kept the day relaxed and fun, sharing just the right amount of info about the wines and the area’s history without ever feeling rushed. We visited Mt Rosa, Kinross, and Gibbston Valley, and each had its own vibe and amazing wines to taste. Lunch at Kinross was a standout — I had the fried chicken paired with their Chardonnay, which was absolutely delicious. Everything about the tour felt really well organised, but still super easygoing — no stress, no rushing, just great company, great wine, and amazing scenery.
The best wine tour!

5.00The BEST QT wine tour EVER! The laughs started as soon as we got on the bus + only got louder as the day progressed thanks to our amazing tour guide - DJ Te (who was also a wine guru). Hubby and I had an incredible time and met some beautiful people from Australia + England who were also on the tour. The 3 wineries we visited were stunning + lunch was of 5 star quality. I will telling everyone to do this tour when visiting Queenstown. We will definitely be back!!
Great tour!

5.00I booked this tour for my mother and me, expecting a group experience — but to our surprise (and delight!), we ended up getting a private tour with Claire! And wow, what an incredible stroke of luck that was. Claire was absolutely fantastic — warm, knowledgeable, and so wonderfully engaging from start to finish. She brought such great energy to the experience and made the whole day feel extra special. We laughed so much and had such a great time. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough — it was truly a highlight of our trip!
