Making wine

personal.

To us, wine is personal — in every way. Taste is personal, shaped by each person’s preferences and palate. But wine becomes truly meaningful when you know its story: where it came from, the soil it grew in, the winds that shaped the vines, the scents of the flowers nearby. Once you’ve walked among the vines, met the people, and tasted the wine at its source, it’s no longer just a drink — it’s a memory, a connection, something known.

We honour that connection by making wine personal for every guest. Through manākitanga — the Māori value of care and respect — we welcome you not just as visitors, but as part of our story. As hosts, and guardians, we’re here to share not only wine, but a sense of place, of people, and of belonging.

This is Central Otago.
This is wine, made personal.

Simply the best
After experiencing wine tours in Napa Valley, Tuscany, Barossa, we all agreed this was our most enjoyable one yet! Andrew was professional, welcoming and knowledgeable and the wineries we visited were amazing. The lunch at Kinross was pretty special and the diversity of the 3 different wineries we visited was incredible...

My daughter & I had the most amazing experience during our stay in beautiful Queenstown - a helicopter ride over the snow covered tops of The Remarkables, down into the next valley for a tour of the wineries. Thank you for a perfect day Andrew – This is a memory that will stay with us forever!

family reunion
Our day with Queenstown Wine Trail was magnificent. The planning was varied, continuous communication & incredible patience through many changes, most beyond all our control, yet the day flowed with such beautiful ease, warmhearted humour, comfy seats & surrounded by friends & family.

fantastic!
What a fantastic tour. Andrew, Angus and the team at Queenstown Wine Tours hosted us for a beautiful afternoon into Gibbston Valley. The trip was a small taster of their standard tours but it was a great experience and good fun for our group...

Excellent tour! T, our guide, was knowledgeable, funny, and patient. The three vineyards we visited; Kinross, Mt. Rosa, and Gibbston Valley really gave us a sense of the Otago wine production. Lunch was fantastic! Definitely worth the price.
