Description
Experience a one-of-a-kind Queenstown wine tour that pairs the flavours of Central Otago wine with the rich history of Maori culture. On the Wine Tour & Maori Culture Queenstown experience, you’ll begin with the traditional Maori greeting, the Hōngi, a gesture that symbolises a physical and spiritual connection to the people and the land. You’ll then visit three boutique wineries, each offering personalised insights into the region's wines and, of course, wine tastings. This is the only Queenstown wine tour that weaves together Maori stories, cultural insights and a tasting journey through renowned Gibbston wineries.
Over the course of the Wine Tour & Maori Culture experience from Queenstown, you’ll sample between 16 to 22 wines, complemented by cheese or grazing platters to enhance your tasting experience. Your WanaHaka Tours guide, passionate about both New Zealand wine and culture, will share stories about the Maori heritage in the Central Otago region, as well as the role of the natural landscape in shaping the vineyards you visit.
