Experience Details

Go Beyond the Traditional Queenstown Wine Tour

Escape Queenstown for an afternoon combining Central Otago wine, New Zealand craft gin and locally brewed beer, with spectacular wine-country and alpine river scenery along the way.

Taste Pinot Noir where Central Otago wine history was made at Gibbston Valley Wines, then wander the Home Block vineyard with your glass in hand. Switch things up with craft gin at GT Tasting Room before heading to Canyon Brewing, where beer is brewed on-site above the spectacular Shotover River. Prefer wine? Wine options are available at the gin and beer stops.

Journey from the vineyards and rugged mountains of Gibbston to the dramatic Shotover River, with a New Zealand-born Queenstown local guide sharing local knowledge along the way.

From Pinot Noir among the vines to craft beer above the Shotover. Three distinctive tasting experiences. One afternoon beyond the usual wine tour.

What You’ll Experience

Alpine Wine Tours (Pass By)

Discover Queenstown with Alpine Wine Tours on an adults-only small-group afternoon combining Central Otago wine, New Zealand gin, local craft beer and spectacular wine-country scenery.

Queenstown (Pass By)

Leave central Queenstown behind for an afternoon journey through Gibbston wine country and on to Arthur’s Point, combining three distinctive tasting experiences with some of the region’s spectacular landscapes.

Gibbston (Pass By)

Journey into Gibbston, known as the “Valley of the Vines”, where vineyards stretch beneath rugged mountains along the Kawarau River. Discover one of Central Otago’s renowned wine-growing areas before your wine and gin experiences.

Gibbston Valley Winery

Taste Pinot Noir where Central Otago wine history was made. At Gibbston Valley Wines, the founding winery of the Gibbston region and the winery that helped put Central Otago wine on the world map, savour the wines that made this remarkable region famous. Then take your glass of Pinot Noir into the Home Block vineyard, wandering amongst the vines against the spectacular backdrop of Gibbston’s rugged mountains — an iconic Central Otago wine country experience.

45 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

GT Tasting Room

Then switch things up at GT Tasting Room at Gibbston Tavern with a hosted tasting of premium New Zealand craft gin. Discover locally made artisan spirits in a relaxed setting in the heart of Gibbston — or, if gin isn’t your thing, choose a hosted wine tasting instead.

45 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Shotover River (Pass By)

Leave Gibbston wine country behind and journey towards Arthur’s Point and the dramatic Shotover River — a striking change of scenery as your afternoon moves from vineyards and vines to one of Queenstown’s most iconic alpine river landscapes.

Canyon Brewing

Sip locally brewed craft beer above one of Queenstown’s most dramatic river landscapes. Perched high above the Shotover River, Canyon Brewing pairs epic canyon and mountain views with its own on-site microbrewery. Settle into the relaxed beer garden, where hops grow around you, and taste a flight of beers brewed right here in Queenstown. Prefer wine? A New Zealand wine tasting is available instead.

45 minutesAdmission Ticket Included

Queenstown (Pass By)

Return to central Queenstown after an afternoon that takes you from the vineyards of Gibbston to the dramatic Shotover River, with Central Otago wine, New Zealand craft gin and locally brewed beer along the way.
