Go Beyond the Usual Queenstown Wine Tour
Travel beyond the familiar vineyards of Gibbston Valley into Bannockburn for three unforgettable wine experiences across two of Central Otago's most celebrated wine regions.
Most Queenstown wine tours explore the wineries of Gibbston Valley, just a short drive from town.
With Alpine Wine Tours, your journey goes further.
Travel through the spectacular Kawarau Gorge into Bannockburn before returning to Gibbston Valley to experience three completely different winery experiences—the striking Te Kano Estate, a hosted wine flight at organic Carrick Winery, and a guided tour and tasting inside New Zealand's largest wine cave.
With a maximum of 10 guests, an adults-only atmosphere, luxury Mercedes Sprinter transport and a passionate local Kiwi guide, you'll enjoy a relaxed, personalised journey through the very best of Central Otago wine country.
