Fantastic Tour to Boutique Wineries

Emma was a fantastic guide, and her dog Bella was the perfect co-pilot! We visited boutique wineries that were unique spots when compared to other tours I’d looked at. As a result, we got to visit wonderful, quiet wineries with stunning views. Lunch was fantastic as well. Overall, we felt we got a comprehensive, highly interactive trip through some of New Zealand’s beautiful Pinot Noir region.

Alpine Wine Tours Review

We had an absolutely fantastic day with Alpine Wine Tours! Emma was an amazing tour guide so friendly, knowledgeable and incredibly accommodating. She even went out of her way and was able to accomodate picking us up from our Airbnb in Arrowtown, which was such a thoughtful touch. We did the Queenstown wine tour and visited three beautiful wineries. The transport was super comfortable, and we were lucky enough to have a gorgeous sunny day, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Emma ...read more

Thank you so much, Laina! It was such a pleasure having you all join me for the Queenstown Wine Tour, and I’m so glad we could make the Arrowtown pickup work for you. We certainly picked a beautiful Central Otago day! One of the things we love most about this tour is taking our guests a little further to discover Bannockburn as well as Gibbston Valley — two distinct wine regions and a wonderful way to experience more of Central Otago wine country in one day. Thank you for your lovely comments about the tour, the transport and the way the day was hosted. I really enjoyed spending the day with you both and would absolutely love to welcome you back for another wine adventure with Alpine Wine Tours next time you’re in Queenstown! 🍷☀️ Cheers, Emma Alpine Wine Tours

Amazing wine tour

Wow! Travelling through the gorge and experiencing the wineries further out from Gibson Valley was amazing. It’s gives you a touch of New Zealand’s wine country that so many people are yet to discover. Seeing the Gibson valley wine cave was a nice touch to finished the day. We were lucky to travel along side Bella the wine dog. All 3 wineries were just great 10/10 experience.

It’s fantastic to hear that venturing further into Central Otago wine country was such a highlight of the day, Dominique! Travelling through the spectacular Kawarau Gorge and beyond the usual Gibbston Valley wine route into Bannockburn is exactly what we wanted guests to experience when we designed this tour — discovering another side of our wine region that many Queenstown visitors never get to see. Then, finishing back in Gibbston Valley with the iconic wine cave makes for a pretty special end to the journey. We’re so pleased you loved all three wineries — and that Bella the wine dog made an impression too! 🐾🍷 Thanks for the brilliant 10/10 review. It was a pleasure having you along! Cheers, Emma Alpine Wine Tours
