Beautiful drive to each location. Driver Muzza was the best, learnt so much history from him and very funny. Plenty of tastings included. Great experience overall.

An excellent small group tour (12 persons) which took in 4 vineyard tastings (Rockburn, Wild Earth, Te Kano, Mt Rosa) and lunch (at Wild Earth).
The vineyards all had their own memorable wines and environments, with helpful and informative hosts at each.
The lunch was to be a charcuterie board but as this was a public holiday the itinerary had to be adjusted and we benefited from a hot food platter served at Wild Earth. This included beef, pork and salmon, accompanied by three matched wine selections and sides of potato and salad. It was an excellent surprising upgrade to Premium lunch.
Our driver John was informative throughout, not only regarding the vineyards but also some local history too.
An excellent tour, highly recommended.
The only caveat is that the small coach has poor suspension and the roads are winding and taken at the speed limit - if you suffer from travel sickness then you should prepare appropriately.

The wineries visited had exceptional flavours, lunch at stoked was delicious and totally amazing and the guide Doug (John), well, having lived in Queenstown for 36yrs of his 46yrs was excellent and represented NZ and the tour company extremely well. Totally recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lindsey was an excellent driver/guide. Being a local he was always happy to talk about the region and it was a pleasure to have him take us round the different wineries

just 5 people in two groups on the tour. Our first vineyard host was french and whilst knowledgeable she simply chatted and made everything interesting and also fun. Transport around the vineyards was comfortable and included a bit of information about the area and other vineyards we passed on our tour. Lunch was excellent and at that stage everyone assumed we were one group we were getting on so well. At the last tasting we added a platter of cold meats and stayed a little past our scheduled time to play a little game of petanque. The driver very kindly labelled and stored all of our purchases and we just enjoyed the whole thing. Very good tour, very thoughtful driver and great wines. Oh, and good fellow tour friends.
