What To Expect
Gibbston Valley Winery
The first stop of the day is at the iconic Gibbston Valley Winery. Gibbston Valley is one of the region's founding wineries and it's here that we will join a guided tour through New Zealand's largest underground wine cave and enjoy tastings of some of their world-famous wines.
Kinross is our second stop and a fantastic location to try a range of different wines across multiple labels. Along with producing their own wines, their cellar door host will also showcase wines from smaller producers and share their incredible stories of how they came to be. After your wine tasting, we allow extra time to enjoy lunch. Kinross has a range of delicious dishes on its menu, including pizzas, platters, smaller bites, and mains. This is ordered and paid directly on the day, giving you the flexibility to order what you would like based on your taste and budget.

5.00Beth was an amazing guide, her customer service skills, knowledge and sense of humour added to the trip. We visited 4 vineyards and the quality, variety and knowledge of the staff far surpassed our expectations, tasting 18 plus wines. It was an incredible experience and we would highly recommend Altitude tours. Thanks for an unforgettable experience.

5.00My husband and I have previously done a hop on and off wine tour before through Queenstown which was wonderful but as it was our honeymoon, we thought we would do a more intimate one where we didn't have to plan a thing. All I can say is, best wine tour ever! The experience was amazing, our lovely driver Leanne was beautiful and so informative. We highly recommend this wine tour, especially for honeymooners!
A must do wine tour with your own choice for lunch

5.00This is a must. Our driver had personality plus and made the start of the trip. He opened up the conversation for the entire van to get the group conversation going. Once the ice was broken and no wine had been consumed everyone opened up and the fun began

5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Fantastic Day of Wine, Scenery & Laughs! We had an amazing day on our wine tour! Ana, our guide, was super fun, friendly, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Our group was a great mix of people — lots of laughs and good vibes all day long. The wineries we visited were absolutely stunning, and the gourmet lunch was delicious. We tried a wide variety of wines at several cellar doors, along with some yummy local cheeses. A real highlight was the Gibbston Valley Wine Cave — such a unique and beautiful experience. We even bought a few bottles to take back to Australia for a special occasion. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed, and memorable wine-tasting experience! 🍷
Fun and yum

5.00What a fantastic day! Elena was the perfect host - she has such a lovely warm, friednly nature, and the right amount of organizational quality to keep the tour rolling! Each winery was welcoming and informative, and we appreciated the boutique aspect of many of the wines we sampled. It was evident that Elena and/or Altitude tours has a great relationship with the winery staff. We would definitely do an Altitude tour again.
