Experience Details

Guests love the balance of excellent wine, local stories, stunning scenery and easygoing fun, plus thoughtful touches like a curated charcuterie board. With door-to-door Wanaka pickup and a friendly, social vibe, it feels less like a tour and more like being shown around by a local friend who truly loves the region.

This half-day tour is hosted by a passionate local guide with international wine-tour experience, offering a relaxed, personal feel from start to finish.

Unlike larger operators, this tour runs in small groups, allowing real conversations with winemakers, unhurried tastings, and flexibility to adapt the day to the group’s interests. Wineries are carefully selected boutique producers, chosen for their quality, character and welcoming atmosphere rather than volume or commercial scale.
