Flexible afternoon winery shuttle from Queenstown through Arrowtown and Gibbston Valley, with daily 12pm departure and return to town around 6pm.

Tour Overview

Spend an afternoon exploring Queenstown’s wine country with a flexible local winery shuttle that departs daily at 12.00pm and returns to town by around 6pm. With no set timetable, this option gives you the freedom to shape the day around your own interests, rather than following a fixed group schedule.

Travel through Queenstown, Arrowtown, and Gibbston Valley, where the wineries are close together and easy to visit in one relaxed outing. Along the way, you can take in Central Otago scenery that includes mountains, rivers, and the historic village atmosphere of Arrowtown.

Your local Wine Guide helps you plan the day as you go, whether that means focusing on wine tastings or mixing in cheese platters, lunch, craft beer, or gin experiences. Because tastings, food, and drinks are purchased directly at each winery, you stay in control of both your budget and your pace.

This family-owned, locally operated service suits couples, friends, and independent travellers who want a simple way to explore the region without the pressure of a rigid tour. It is a straightforward, hassle-free way to spend an afternoon discovering the wine scene around Queenstown.

  • No rigid timetable to follow – explore our wineries at your own pace.
