Our guide Te was engaging and informative. There were about 15 in the group so we had the opportunity to meet like minded people from all over the world. The quality of the wines varied in the 3 places we visited, but of course everyone's taste is different. Our lunch was delicious with many options to chose from. Now that I think of it, we really didn't "sample" any food on the tour except for some cheese cubes in a small store. I think the title of the tour is misleading, however we had such a good time and a very filling meal that we didn't miss the food sampling.

Great tour ! Our guide & driver, Teaukura ("T") was a blast! So funny, entertaining, and full of information about the area as we drove to the wineries. We visited Kinross , where we had a fabulous lunch, Mt. Rosa and Gibbston Valley. All were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended this afternoon winery tour.

Had such a fun day learning all about the fascinating vineyards in Gibbston Valley and met so many interesting characters involved in winemaking along the way! The wines were fantastic and our tour guide Angus looked after us so well, would highly recommend.

"𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝" 🧡 Thanks Daire for your 5-star review! We're glad you had a great time out with Angus & enjoyed all that Gibbston Valley has to offer, characters included! 😂 To be fair we find everyone gets more 'characterish' the more tastings they have, but our guides weave it all together so everyone enjoys a wonderful day. We'll pass on your kind words to Angus & look forward to welcoming you back again next time you're in Queenstown. Cheers! 😊
