Relaxed afternoon tour through Gibbston with wine or craft beer tastings at Gibbston Tavern, Kinross Cellar Door and Altitude Brewery, returning by 7pm.

Tour Overview

Altitude Tours’ Twilight Wine and Craft Beer Tour is a relaxed afternoon through Gibbston, with the flexibility to choose wine or beer tastings at each stop. Hosted by local cellar door staff and accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, it suits mixed groups where tastes differ.

The first stop is the GT Tasting Room at the historic Gibbston Tavern. Here you can choose a tasting of Gibbston-grown wine or local craft beer from a brewery 1km down the road. It is a good introduction to the Gibbston region and the flavours produced here.

A short drive further into Gibbston brings you to Kinross Cellar Door for a hosted seated tasting with Kinross and four boutique wine partners. You can sample wines from five producers, including highly awarded Pinot Noirs, or opt for four local beers with self-guided tasting notes. Charcuterie boards are served during the tasting.

The final stop is Altitude Brewery, reached after an approximately 20 minute drive back toward the Queenstown Marina. This last tasting is a chance to sit down, relax, and socialise over tasting flights of boutique local wines or Altitude’s craft beers. The tour finishes with shared antipasto platters before returning to Queenstown around 7pm, in time for dinner plans.
