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.

An enjoyable and interactive winery visit

5.00What a great experience to visit 4 wineries in a half day. All the four wineries were well established with their wines showing totally different style despite being in the same region. More importantly, the people are super fun and interactive, making the trip more enjoyable. Lastly, thank you for our tour guide, Shanay, for the wonderful journey. Much appreciated for your knowledge in the wineries (I probably listened more than those in the wineries) and your warm reminder of keeping us hydrated. Oh yeah, your accent is gorgeous ! =]

5.00What an amazing day! Visits 4 great vinyards. A sample of Central Otagos finest. Our guide/sober driver, Beth, was superb and so knowledgeable of the area. We learnt so much, about the history of wine, local famous wine makers and Queesntown and surrounds. A must do tour for any tourist/wine lover.

5.00Do was an amazing tour guide! She explained everything clearly about the day and how it would go. We had a full bus of tourists from all over the world and she got us to introduce ourselves and tell our favourite wine. This was a wonderful introduction and made the day more personal. The wineries were exceptional especially Kinross. The tasting experience was premium. The wine cave at Gibbston Valley was a unique experience. Aybyrne was also a nice addition. The sing-along on the way home was the Icing on the cake. What a great day out! Thankyou Do!
