We've finely curated a gin-tasting experience that includes a mix of tastings, scenery, fun, and education.
Start your day by meeting your friendly guide at or near your Queenstown accommodation. From here, we will explore Cardrona, Arrowtown, and Queenstown, showcasing a talented range of distillers who use our unique environment to produce some of the smoothest and top award-winning spirits in New Zealand and around the world
Throughout the afternoon, you'll enjoy three separate gin and spirit tasting experiences, with each location offering something special, including a distillery tour at the famous Cardrona Distillery. Enjoy a gin and tonic upon arrival, shared platters at two of the locations, and be hosted by an Altitude Tours guide and the tasting room staff, all of whom will educate and entertain you with distilling facts and stories.

I have spent 3 weeks in NZ and can say this was one of the highlights. Ana was our driver (amazing on the Crown twist & turns!), friendly and fun. We had her first all women tour just by coincidence and we all were friendly and fun folks. I loved all the locations and near Cardona we saw Bradona- a once in a lifetime experience 😊 I bought a bottle of The Source gin at Cardona where we learned from our expert (name starts with an E) on how whisky (not whiskey!), vodka and gin are made. At Broken Heart I bought a bottle made with Quince fruit- a new experience and delicious! If you’d like to explore gin with various botanicals this is the right tour plus a beautiful scenic drive.

The tour was absolutely incredible, value for money is insane. Jono was the best tour guide that we had in NZ. Would recommend to anyone looking to have an authentic NZ wine/beer experience.

Cardrona Distillery tour was very interesting and a good start to the tour. The views on the drive up were spectacular.
The tasting at The Winery in Arrowtown included a delicious platter which was very welcome.
The tasting at Broken Heart Gin Garden was my favourite & I enjoyed the variety of their spirits and the Tart was delicious.
Ana was our Guide/Driver and she was great, very informative & entertaining.

This was a Saturday afternoon well spent! GT is a really knowledgeable tour guide, and it was great to stop at some of the amazing lookouts along the way for photos. The gin factory tour at Cardrona was really informative - the best I’ve been on. The tastings and platters were really good. Tour definitely takes 6 hours.

We had a small group of only 4 on our Gin tour with Lily as our guide. Having a smaller group made the outing more enjoyable and Lily was an absolute delight to get to know and answered any questions we through her way. Highly recommend this Gin tour for any gin lovers out there or even if you’re new to the Gin world!
