Meet a driver at your hotel in Queenstown, then travel into the rolling hills and valleys of Central Otago in a climate-controlled vehicle. As you make your way to the first vineyard, learn how Central Otago has become a premier cool-climate wine region, with high-quality pinot noir, Riesling, pinot gris, chardonnay, and more. The tour itinerary varies to keep up with Central Otago’s freshest wines, but generally includes vineyards in Gibbston and others in either the historic gold mining town of Bannockburn or in the Cromwell area. At each destination, sample locally produced wines, then pause for a gourmet lunch platter served at a vineyard. Following your vineyard visits, this tour concludes with return transfer to Queenstown and drop-off at the original departure point.
