Overview

We know Pinot. Join this classic Queenstown wine tour to explore, taste, and savor wines at four of the finest boutique cellar doors around the Gibbston Region.

Start your day being met by your wine-certified guide at or near your Queenstown accommodation. Then travel into the Gibbston wine region, home to top-rated wineries, accomplished winemakers, and, of course, delicious Pinot Noir.

Throughout the day, enjoy four separate tasting experiences, visiting both boutique cellar doors and well-known locations, including a visit to the wine cave at Gibbston Valley. Be hosted by your friendly wine guide and cellar staff, who will educate and entertain you with local winemaking facts and stories. You also have the option of indulging in a scrumptious lunch at a local winery (additional cost ordered on the day).

We're all about pairing good people with good wine, whether you're recharging your batteries, an avid sightseer, or a wine enthusiast. Join us on a top-rated wine-tasting journey.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Kinross Winery & Cellar Door, 2300 Gibbston Highway, Queenstown 9371, New Zealand

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.

Stop At: Mt Rosa Wines, 47 Gibbston Back Road, Gibbston 9371 New Zealand

Mt Rosa is a boutique owner-operated winery and their stunning location is situated just below the impressive Nevis Bluff. Sitting in the vines, their newly built cellar door building gives you a sophisticated backdrop to a delicious tasting menu. Their cellar door host will take you through different varieties of their single-label wines. Their mulled wine is a customer highlight!

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: The Church Cellar Door and Cafe, 2323 Gibbston Highway, Gibbston 9371, New Zealand

We finish our tasting tour at The Church Tasting Room. This is a picturesque location, in a small refurbished church sitting on large sweeping grounds.

Four wineries, 18 tastings, great wines and good company, what more could you ask from just 4 hours in the Gibbston Valley? How about a tour guide who knows how to help people relax and get to know each other? As we drove from Queenstown, Danny, our guide, expertly directed our getting to know our fellow travellers with his questions and comments. Which set the tone for a friendly atmosphere and lots of laughter as the day wore on. It was the best time I can remember having on a wine tour.
