Overview

Voted the World’s Best Wine Tour

Begin your day with a warm welcome from your wine-certified guide at (or near) your Queenstown accommodation before setting off into the Gibbston wine region celebrated for its world-class wineries, passionate winemakers & outstanding Pinot Noir.

Venues typically include Gibbston Valley, Ayrburn, Kinross & Mt Rosa, (subject change if a cellar door is closed). Throughout the day, your expert guide and cellar hosts will enrich each tasting with stories, insights & wine expertise.

For those looking to indulge further, there’s the option to add a delicious winery bistro lunch (ordered on the day, additional cost).
