Description
Good to Know
Our Queenstown More Than A Wine Tour is not so much about swirling, sniffing and chatting about gooseberries, oak and tannins. It’s more an opportunity to soak up some extraordinary scenery and discover the amazing flavours of Central Otago.
We love to showcase our wine and local cheese/food.
If the Mountain is more for you, think champagne in the snow!
Afterwards enjoy the Cardrona Distillery and Hotel for some mulled Wine and marshmallows.
This tour is for anyone wanting some private time, romantic and special or thrill seeking time. Wine, whiskey, beer, gin, food, mountain biking, snowboarding/skiing, hiking.
This is your day so the itinerary is set precisely to blow away your expectations. Others say "this was hands down one of the best days of our lives" "We cant wait to come back and do this again with friends" "Every moment was spectacular" "We loved every second" "We loved our guide, she looked after all our needs and requirements, she made the day so special" "We will be back"
