Half-day small group wine tour from Queenstown to Gibbston, Central Otago, with hotel pick-up, four cellar doors, and a flexible itinerary.

Tour Overview

Travel from Queenstown into Gibbston, Central Otago, on a small group half day wine tour focused on boutique cellar doors and a flexible, personalised pace.

After complimentary hotel pick up, head into the heart of Gibbston, often called the valley of the vines. The route takes you through a landscape of mountain ranges and river gorges, with vineyards set among the region’s rugged terrain. Over the course of the tour, you’ll visit four cellar doors and taste wines from the Central Otago Wine Trail.

This is not a fixed circuit. The itinerary is shaped by your booking selections and the interests of the group on the day, so the wineries visited in Gibbston, Central Otago, can vary. The emphasis is on smaller wineries that are off the beaten path, along with high quality wines and staff who are friendly and informative.

The small group format keeps the experience relaxed and allows for a more personal visit at each stop. If you want to explore Gibbston, Central Otago, beyond a standard tasting route, this tour offers a flexible way to sample the region’s wine culture in just half a day.
