Queenstown Wine & Food Tour: Scenery, Tastings & Delicious Lunch!

Spend five hours exploring Central Otago on a relaxed Queenstown wine and food tour focused on local produce and boutique wineries. This experience combines hosted tastings with a winery lunch, giving you time to settle into the region’s pace while sampling estate wines in the place they are made.

A highlight is a visit to the site described as home to New Zealand's largest underground wine cave. Here, the wine-cave experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at part of the Central Otago wine industry, adding context to the tasting rather than simply moving from glass to glass.

You will also enjoy a hosted wine tasting, followed by a wine and food paired a la carte lunch. The tour includes lunch at a boutique vineyard, matched with an estate wine, so the food and wine are presented as part of the same experience rather than as separate stops.

This tour is well suited to travellers who want to experience Queenstown’s wine region without committing a full day. The pace is easy, the setting is scenic, and the focus stays on tasting, lunch, and learning more about the local wine scene. If a listed winery is unavailable on the day, the tour visits another boutique winery instead.
