A Boutique Wine Experience Through Central Otago
Discover Central Otago wine country on a relaxed, small-group tour designed for people who want to experience it properly — without crowds, rushing, or logistics to worry about. This full-day Queenstown wine tour takes you through the renowned Gibbston Valley (the Valley of the Vines), with hosted tastings at three of the region’s most respected wineries.
Your day begins with a guided visit to New Zealand’s largest wine cave at Gibbston Valley Wines, followed by a hosted tasting showcasing Central Otago’s signature Pinot Noir alongside elegant cool-climate whites and rosés.
Next, enjoy a boutique tasting at Kinross, the official cellar door for several of the region’s leading small producers. Afterward, relax over lunch at Kinross (at your own expense), either outside in the wine garden or inside the cozy bistro.
The experience finishes at the acclaimed Amisfield cellar door, where a premium guided tasting and striking alpine surroundings provide a polished finale to the day.
With luxury transport, a knowledgeable local guide, and a carefully paced itinerary, this tour is about quality, ease, and connection — not ticking boxes.
This experience is perfect for:
Couples, friends, special occasions, and anyone wanting a refined Central Otago wine experience done well.

No regrets!!!
I don’t often review things but I know how much the reviews for this helped me make my decision at 10pm the night before to do this tour! Em was exceptionally friendly, informative and fun and Ruby the wine dog was great to have apart of the team. Definitely the best experience we had in Queenstown. It was great to have a smaller group of people, by the first wine stop it felt like I was just with a few friends hopping around vineyards! If you pick any wine tour make sure you pick this one!

Hi Katie, Thanks so much for leaving such an amazing review, we really appreciate it as people like to see reviews before going ahead and experiencing a wine tour with us! We love hearing you have no regrets and enjoyed the smaller group size plus having Ruby the wine dog is a great point of difference and for those missing their dogs back home. Cheers, Emma and Ruby

Great Day
Small group, engaging host (Emma), easy directions and guidance over the day, great to have pre-set tables (no waiting or dealing with crowded gatherings at the tasting bench), good variety in wine tasting, on the money (very fair for what you get) and a super cute doggo. The weather was also in our favour and it was a glorious day. Couldn't ask for more.

premium wines
Initially the tour seemed quite overpriced but being on holiday and being Queenstown we booked anyway. We were very pleased with the pickup from our accommodation and then the high quality of the wine. There were some unique and uncommon varietals amongst the well known ones but they were all really nice. Emm the host was very attentive and we thought that it was a bonus that it was her business, not part of a larger operation. The wines we tasted were premium wines, some of which we would never get the chance to enjoy again so that was a real privilege. Thanks Emm.
