It was full of information and tasting different wines from the Otago region. Most of it is Pinot Noir. We had John as our guide, who did a superb job.

Beautiful region to do a wine tour. We really enjoyed the wineries we visited and the wines were very good. Our guide was wonderful. We would have preferred a more traditional winery lunch where you choose your own meal from a menu rather than a community platter to be shared with the group.

Great communication from the company. Pick up was as planned. The tour guide was friendly, well informed with great knowledge of the area as well as the vineyards and wineries. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the area as we were driven through the countryside and how wine making has evolved in the Queenstown area. Visiting 4 wineries gave us a variety of wines to taste and the meal at The Stoaker Room was excellent. It was also a great opportunity to talk with everyone else on the tour as we shared platters of delicious meats and vegetables with accompanying wine tasters for each course. We had shared cheese boards at the final winery to go with our last tasting session. Again we all chatted as a group and this enhanced the experience for me as I met people from all over the world despite the small group number. I would recommend this tour. The fact it is only for a small number of people is a definite positive in my opinion. A great tour if you love wine, some good food, want to get some knowledge of the area and enjoy meeting a small group of people who could be from anywhere in the world.

The Driver Al was very friendly and informative. The food was delicious and the wine tasting experience at all the wineries was exceptional. Met a great couple!

This is the way to do a wine tour. Craig our driver was fantastic, informative and fun. You can enjoy the numerous tastings and don't have to worry about the breathalyser. The whole day is well organised and the service from all of the wineries is first class. The shared platters for lunch with matching wines at Stoakers is certainly a highlight and trust me you don't walk away hungry. After lunch you finish off with a delightful cheese platter and yes more wine at Mr Roses. Great day !

Had an amazing time! Craig was knowledgeable, funny, and we were happy it was a tour with only 7 people- felt more like going on an outing with friends.

Enjoyable and informative wine tour, visiting three very different vineyards as well as a place for lunch serving their own vineyard wines. All the wines were interesting, about 20 tastings in total, varying from the expected pinot noir plus Riesling, pinot blanc, pinot gris in red white and rose. Wine presentations varied but two were excellent and interactive. IDriver/guide, Phil, was great. Relaxed, fun and informative and gave very useful advice for what else to do.

John, our specialist wine guide was fantastic. Very personable and full of humor. He was very knowledgeable about the wine region and the wineries we visited. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with him. We tasted some great wines. We had an unique 5dish gourmet luncheon with wine pairing.
