Private Queenstown Wine Sampler Tour

Your private wine tour begins with pick up from or near your Queenstown accommodation at approximately 9:00am. Meet your dedicated Altitude Tours guide, settle into your private vehicle, and head towards the Gibbston wine region.

With the vehicle exclusively for your group, the day starts comfortably and at an easy pace.

Your first stop is Gibbston Valley Winery, one of Central Otago’s founding wineries.

Explore New Zealand’s largest wine cave and learn more about the region’s winemaking history before enjoying your first hosted tasting of the day. It is a great introduction to the wines and stories that have helped put Central Otago on the world wine map.

Continue to Kinross, where several boutique Central Otago producers are brought together in one beautiful vineyard setting.

Taste wines from producers such as Valli, Hawkshead and Wild Irishman, giving you the chance to experience different styles and expressions of the region.

This is also your lunch stop, with woodfired pizzas, platters and other dishes available to order and pay for on the day.

After lunch, continue to Mt Rosa Wines beneath the dramatic Nevis Bluff.

Set inside a converted historic woolshed, this owner-operated boutique winery offers a more intimate cellar door experience. Taste single-estate wines and discover more about the character of Gibbston from the people who know the land and wines best.

Your final tasting takes place at Ayrburn, one of Queenstown’s newest wine and hospitality destinations.

Set among beautifully restored farm buildings, Ayrburn combines Central Otago wines with a relaxed and lively atmosphere, making it a fitting final stop for your private day in wine country.

After your final tasting, settle back into your private vehicle for the journey to Queenstown.

By the end of the day, you will have tasted more than 18 wines, explored four distinctive cellar doors and experienced the Gibbston wine region with your own guide and group from start to finish.
