Queenstown wine tour visiting three boutique wineries, including Gibbston vineyards, with 15 to 20 tastings, food pairings and a Māori cultural focus.

Tour Overview

This Queenstown wine tour combines local wine tasting with a Māori cultural perspective on the land and region. It is described as the only wine tour in Queenstown to link Māori culture with local wines, offering an experience grounded in Aotearoa New Zealand.

You will visit three boutique wineries in the Queenstown area, including vineyards in the Gibbston region, with a more personal style than larger group tastings. Across the tour, expect approximately 15 to 20 wine tastings, paired with food to match. The focus is on Central Otago wine, alongside the Māori cultural footprint that shapes how the landscape and its produce are understood.

This tour is suited to travellers who want more than a standard cellar door visit, with time spent at boutique Central Otago wineries rather than a broad sightseeing circuit. The experience stays centred on wine, place, and culture, without overcomplicating the day.

A minimum of two people is required for the tour to operate. If minimum numbers are not met, you will be offered another day or time, or a full refund.
