I was impressed with everything on this tour. Having been disappointed in the past on win tours that promise the world this was undoubtedly the best I've done. Richard our tour guide was prompt, informative and best of all non-intrusive. On the wine side of things we tasted many excellent wines, with more than a simple drop and without pressure to buy. I can't recommend this more highly. Rob

Our tour guide, Ed, was very knowledgeable on wines & vineyards of the Central Otago region. The wineries were fun, wines were excellent & a good representation of the region. An excellent tour

"𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫" 🧡 Thanks for your fabulous 5-star review James! Ed is a wonderful guide, so friendly & kind, & also so knowledgeable, he weaves the tours together with finesse - as all our guides do.

We had a fab day with our guide Andrew. Loved all the wineries we visited, a real variety in style and choice of wine. Lunch at Kinross was lovely.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
"𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲" 🧡 Thank you for your review & kind words about your guide (& owner) Andrew - as a small locally owned & operated company we really appreciate your support. Kinross is such a fabulous destination! And the 'lunch & paired wine' is definitely a highlight of the day! Hope to welcome you again one day. Cheers 😊

While wine tours are fairly common, the differentiator is often the personality of the tour guide and the knowledge of the wine advisor/s. I must say that this tour exceeded all our expectations. While the wine advisors were knowledgeable in their product, they were able to relate to the history of the area. But, what set this experience truly apart was the tour guide, Te. Te was funny, relevant, knowledgeable and possessed an abundance of what is often lacking - an ability to connect with all of his clients - an absolute asset to both the Company and the region. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough.

"𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬" 🧡 Wow! You've not only made our day with your review, but we guarantee you've made T's as well!! 🧡Thank you so much for clearly portraying what we do, but also the difference we make, as a local company, that carefully selects its hosts to ensure that everyone, whether your palate is well-developed or simply enthusiastic, can expect a one-of-a-kind experience! We look forward to welcoming you again when you're next in Queenstown! Cheers😊

Wonderful day! Our driver and tour guide was T! He was entertaining and put us at ease immediately. We were fortunate to have some very young and lovely international passengers join us. The winerys’ were lovely and the pourings generous! We really enjoyed all the wineries albeit very different experiences at each one. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hi Brenda, thanks for your 5-star review! We're so happy you & your husband enjoyed a fabulous day out in the Gibbston Valley, & made some new friends on the day too. "Generous pouring's" are what life's all about on holiday - wine, sunshine, good food, & fab scenery. What's not to love? Hope to see you both next time you're here. Cheers from the QWT Crew.

Our guide Angus bought the tour to life with a great energy and knowledge of the region. The three wineries was an excellent way to taste the local wines.

My partner and I did the original wine tour. I would highly recommend it! Andrew was a fantastic host who made us feel welcome and gave us a lot of information about the winery’s and their stories.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Thanks for the review. It was our pleasure to show you around our local wineries and spend the afternoon with you.
