Description

Central Otago is one of New Zealand’s most exciting new wine regions. It is a very special place with a landscape that has been an inspiration to many early pioneers, artists and now the winemakers.
Departing daily from Queenstown our small group wine tours venture into the heart of Central Otago, offering a taste of Central Otago wines, the scenery and a colourful pioneering history. Accompanied by an experienced guide, we aim to share our passion for wine leaving you with a richer insight into wine tasting and this unique region.
The Pinot Noirs from Central Otago are world class and the true stars of the region, however, there are many premium quality white wines with Pinot Gris, Riesling and Chardonnay’s to suit most tastes.
