About us
The Heart of Queenstown Wine Trail
Established in 1992, Queenstown Wine Trail is proud to be Queenstown’s original wine tour company. Family-owned and operated from day one, we’ve spent over 30 years sharing our deep love of Central Otago wine—and our experience shines through in every tour we host.
As the region’s leading wine tour operator, we’ve built trusted relationships with local winemakers that allow us to offer truly authentic, behind-the-scenes experiences. When you join us, you’re not just another guest—you’re treated like family.
Our passionate, experienced team knows and loves this region. Whether it’s a bold Pinot Noir, a crisp Rosé, or a vibrant Riesling in hand, each of us brings our own flavour to the day—ensuring your journey through wine country is as rich and varied as the wines themselves.
We’re proud to be 100% New Zealand owned and operated, and even prouder to share the stories, landscapes, and vintages that make Central Otago so special.
Discover the Heart of New Zealand Wine in Central Otago
New Zealand may be a small country, but it has earned a global reputation for producing world-class wines. From vibrant Sauvignon Blancs to elegant Pinot Noirs, our wines consistently turn heads—and nowhere is that more evident than in Central Otago.
Similar in size to California or Great Britain, New Zealand offers breathtaking landscapes unlike anywhere else. Here in Central Otago, vineyards are framed by snow-capped mountains, glacial rivers, and rolling countryside—scenery that’s as unforgettable as the wine itself. A glass in hand and a panoramic view before you—this is wine tasting, redefined.
As one of the first to champion wine tourism in Central Otago, we’ve grown alongside the region’s most iconic wineries. What began with the first plantings in 1894 has blossomed into a thriving wine scene, with Central Otago now standing as the world’s southernmost wine region—and its fastest growing.
The unique terroir, marked by dramatic temperature shifts and low rainfall, has proven ideal for viticulture. Today, over 80% of the region’s wine production is dedicated to Pinot Noir—bold, expressive, and award-winning.
Join us in celebrating the spirit of innovation and passion that defines Central Otago. From those pioneering early days to today’s world-renowned labels, we’ve been here every step of the way—and we can’t wait to share it with you.
