Perfect day with a great guide. As it turned out, my wife and I were the only ones on this small group tour so it became a “private tour”. Andrew gave us the freedom to choose wineries to visit but being first time visitors, we left it up to him to pllan our day; between hosted and sit down/more relaxing tastings. On the way to Otago, he talked a llittle bit about Queenstown and explained the history of wine making and how it all started here. We visited Gibbston Valley (where it all started), Kinross and Mt Rosa. We did tastings at our own pace, especially at Mt. Rosa and never felt pressured. He gave us an option to go to another winery or brewery, but going to the three was enough. He gave us the option to spend time and walk around in Arrowtown, which was great. We had Andrew join us for ice cream at Patagonia then he offered to drop us off at Hilton on the way back to Queenstown. We highly recommend this tour and would to it again when we visit next time.

Highly recommend
Jeanette_B, Apr 2024
Awesome trip, go where you want and stay as long as you want. Andrew was very knowledgable about the region, vineyards and the wines. Nice to also meet other people from around the world on the tour.
Private and relaxing wine tasting itinerary.

Every wine tour needs to be like this one
Rachel_O, Jan 2024
Wow! We wish every wine tour was like this one. Andrew was so excellent. We showed up to the the meeting point with no plans, and Andrew quickly crafted a plan for us. He shuttled everyone around to their different spots (some others had tastings and lunch reservations). We felt like we were on a private tour the whole time, never felt rushed and we had the best wine out of the 3 different tasting days that we did on our trip to NZ!
Lovely day!!

Such a fun day!! The tour guide/driver (Angus) was so enthusiastic and helped us plan a great day! He taught us a lot about the area and New Zealand in general. We enjoyed our time on the wine hopper bus and would recommend this trip!
Great day out

Had the most amazing day...
Shanae_S, Sep 2023
Had the most amazing day at our wine tour. Our tour guide T was the best. He gave us all the best recommendations and spoke between the wineries for us to best organise our trip. We had a lot of fun along the way and T was great with communicating transport along the way. Would recommend 100%
Amazing day seeing many different wineries
Elizabeth_H, Aug 2023
Andrew was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable! The whole day was so relaxed and I loved how you could go at your own pace at each of the wineries! Great experience and would highly recommend!!

Service was excellent - very flexible and accommodating with a knowledgeable driver! We had a great day visiting 5 wineries at our leisure. Would definitely recommend.
Loved it!
Shannon_C, Sep 2022
Our driver Angus was great! Very fun and knowledgeable. He made sure we saw everything we wanted while also catering to all the other guests which didn’t look easy. The service was great and all round it was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to friends and book again. I can’t rate it highly enough - especially Angus who made the whole experience.
