A must do Wine Tour in Central Otago

5.00What a great day. Visited 3 wineries located in Central Otago, including the Wanaka Stoaker room for a great lunch cook out of old wine barrels, potatoes and carrots are cheap in NZ, meat and seafood was superb. All 3 wineries were very welcoming. Jesse, the trainee 🤣🤣was a great wine tasting companion and Wayne the man in charge provided excellent insight to the area with his local knowledge, should have been a history teacher 😇😇. All up a great fun tour tasting great wine. Well done, Wayne🍷🍷
Quality wine tour near Wanaka

4.00Lovely tour with Wayne from Wanaka wine tours. We started off with a filling lunch paired with wine and then visited a few different wineries within short driving distance of Wanaka. Tour was small sized and enjoyable for a solo traveler.
If you like wine, this is a must!

5.00We had a wonderful time on our wine tour! Scott was our host and he provided outstanding information on wines in the Central Otago region as well as awesome insight to the country of New Zealand. He picked us up at our AirBnb right on time and took us to 4 fabulous wineries where we enjoyed great wines, outstanding views, and learned about wine making here in this region. I highly recommend this tour!
A fantastic experience...
