Queenstown Wine Tour

fantastic！Ana is absolutely the top very nice very warm showing us the beautiful views on the way to wineries The setting is lively and the guys in the wineries are so warm. Had a great time there

We had the most amazing experience for my birthday with someone discoveries! Getting to visit for a beautiful wineries in the Gibbston Valley. Anna our tour guide made the whole experience 10x better with facts about the valley and history of the town.

Sue our guide for the day was excellent she made us feel welcome and he knowledge of the area and wine industry was exceptional. Thanks for a great day Sue and when next in Aus and Mackay love to catch up

We were picked up and travelled around with Anna for the day. Along the way she shared her knowledge of the local area and made sure we were all settled and ready at each winery. She even made sure we had received enough for lunch, offering to organise some more food. Each of the stops were a perfect mix with each other and the hosts were knowledgeable and accommodating. Would highly recommend booking with them for the wine tour!

Awesome wine tour! Our guide (Marie) was fantastic and the group was so much fun. We visited a great selection of award winning wineries, all perfectly timed, and the tastings felt really personal - we were the only tour group there each time, which made it even better. The service was amazing, the Pinot Noirs were delicious, and the commentary along the way made the scenic drive even more enjoyable. Easy 5 stars!

Our guide for the day was Marie who was very friendly and knowledgeable of the central Otago wine region and wineries we visited. She even had a wine named for her at Brennan winery which was one of the best tasting on our tour. Roz from Brennan was especially friendly to our small group and we had the best time chatting with her. She made you feel right at home and really enjoyed their wines. We had lunch outside at Waitiri wines and had a delicious cheese/olive fruit plate and plenty of wine. The other two wineries were pretty nice and rounded out the day. Our thanks to Marie for a wonderful day!

I went for my birthday and loved every second. Yummy cheese board and great venues!

Very knowledge and passionate experts, friendly vibes and atmosphere all round.

This was a marvelous wine tour, going to four wine cellars, including an excellent cheese, pate and charcuterie lunch, coupled with freshly baked bread in one of them. We were collected from, and returned directly to, our hotel in Queenstown. Our guide, Marie, was very knowledgeable and really friendly. The chat between the participants in our group was great also. In all of the cellars, the wines were superb, and well curated. I have given it five stars, but if I could, the tour would have got ten. It is a small world when you meet folks with links to your home county....such a wonderful day!

An excellent day with Marie, our guide and Driver. The wineries that we visited were boutique, yet well rounded. The wines that we tasted were of a good grade in selection. Would definitely do this again. Marie was very engaging and knowledgeable.

Just back from the most fabulous afternoon visiting 4 vineyards in the Gibbston Valley with Marie. Every stop was amazing, super friendly staff, very knowledgeable, great wine and a lovely lunch. Marie was absolutely lovely, amazing local knowledge, we had the best time 😊

Was so wonderful to have been on a hosted wine tour in Queenstown, with the warmth and joy of Marie. Visiting very boutique, high caliber cellar doors in the Gibbston Valley with exclusive niche wines to sample. A relaxing & delicious experience. You will love it.

It was our tour guide Allys first tour 🤩🥳 and she was the BEST! We had great communication from the company regarding a pick up change. We thoroughly enjoyed the bus ride with Ally telling us local stories and pointing out things of interest. The first three vineyards were lovely (Jessie agreed we needed barstools at Chard Farm😉). Gabi at Waitiri Creek Wines was great and the herb butter on the cheese plate is to die for!! Brennan Wines was our fav wine of the bunch, (might have been the extra glasses of Rose we drunk at Waitiri that helped that though..) Petronella was so knowledgeable. While the wines at the last stop Nockies Palette Wines, were our least favourite, the setting and sommelier (whos name Ive forgotten sorry!!) were great!! #SDShareandWin #SouthernDiscoveries

I came with my friends for her birthday and Kieth was phenomenal! He was so kind and hospitable. It was also so interesting, I learnt so much! Thank you Kieth for a wonderful day and an amazing tour of a beautiful landscape.

We have done wine tours all over the world - Napa, in Medoza, Argentina, in Portugal, Italy, S .Africa, Spain - and this was our best one ever. We booked this a day ahead from a downtown Queenstown travle booth and we are so glad we did. Our guide was terrific (female) and the small wineries and their staff were outstanding. There was 1 other couple making it an intimate day. We highly recommend Southern Discoveries. We heard they also (for the same price) did a private tour for 1 rather than cancel.

Wine tour was great as it visited the less common wineries which we have seen many times. Highlights was vivki at mora wines and Jesse at chard wines. Had a great day and Brad was super fun and informative.

For anyone wanting something a little different outside the normal outdoor adventure in Q/town, this is a must. A truly fantastic day out, well supported by our driver for the day Brad "baba". From the moment you are picked up by your driver for the day, everything was taken care of and it all flowed seamless. Have done wine tours before, but whether you've done a million or this is your first time, I would highly recommend this tour !!

A group of us went on the Wine Tour and had the best time! Our guide Marie was super friendly, informative, and made sure we were all having an amazing time. The wineries were beautiful with the best wines and the cheese platters were a perfect touch. We met some great people and had a lot of laughs along the way. Highly recommend this tour for a fun, relaxing day out!

Was super excited to go on this new wine tour as I've done a few of them since moving to Queenstown, but it being the only wine tour that we found that actually went to Chard Farm, it was definitely a must! My friends were visiting over from the UK and we had the lovely Ben as our driver who was super informative but also made some great photo stops along the way at places such as the Kawarau Bungy bridge and Lake Hayes! Chard Farm definitely surpassed our expectations and is now a new favourite of mine. We all loved the range of wine at the tastings and it was super fun to try some of the quirkier wines that Brennan has to offer. All in all, a fabulous wine tour for anyone visiting town or locals who want to try new wineries!

I had an amazing time on the Queenstown Wine Tour! All 3 locations we visited had a great variety of wines and stunning scenery. The light platter at the last stop was a lovely touch. I’d recommend eating a big breakfast beforehand as the platter is later in the tour but worth the wait. The group size was small which made for a more personal and relaxed experience.

The views and scenery were amazing. From start to finish this was one of the best wine tours we have done and we have done a fair amount over the last few years. The guide was very informative and professional and made sure we were all having a fabulous time! We met great people, drank some of the best wine and had many laughs along the way. I couldn’t recommend this tour more if you’re looking for one in Queenstown. What a great experience!

I did the wine tour with my partner and my mum, and it was an amazing experience. All wineries were lovely, and we enjoyed the energy of the group and the driver ❤️. I will definitely recommend this to my friends

Fantastic day out exploring wineries and the beautiful scenery! Service was great from start to finish and our guide Marie made sure to make our day special with her local knowledge. Wine tastings were tasty and had lots of variety. We loved the cheese platters in the afternoon. Can highly recommend this wine tour!

What an awesome day on the Southern Discoveries wine tour! Our driver-guide Maree was so lovely – super friendly, funny, and really knew her stuff. She made the day so easy and enjoyable. The wineries we visited were amazing. Chard Farm had the most stunning views and some delicious wines. Mora was such a cool spot with great wine and a relaxed vibe. Brennan was the highlight – not just for the tasty wines but also for meeting their dog Phoebe, who’s an absolute sweetheart! The cheese platter was the icing on the cake – so good and went perfectly with the wine. If you’re in Queenstown and love wine (or just a good day out), definitely book this tour. It’s relaxed, fun, and full of great wine and good vibes. Big thanks to Maree and the team for an unforgettable day!

As locals who've been on several wine tours, this one really impressed us. Southern Discoveries takes you to the best wineries in the area, and they've planned the day perfectly. The tour kicks off at Mora (always a local favorite) - such a beautiful spot to start the day. We loved trying new wines at each stop, especially the Rosé at Chard Farm, which I'd never had before. Our guide Marie made the whole day special with lots of surprise stops along the way. She really cares about giving everyone a great experience. The sommeliers at each winery were fantastic - super knowledgeable and clearly love what they do. Ending the day at Brennan Wines was perfect - it's such a laid-back spot to finish up. Even though we live here and know the wineries pretty well, we discovered new favorites. Marie went out of her way to make sure everyone had a great time, and it really showed. Whether you're visiting or local, this tour is worth every penny. It's a fun day out with some of the best wines our region has to offer.

We had an amazing afternoon at 3 fantastic wineries! Our guide Marie was exceptional, her knowledge, kindness and presence was a bonus to our day. We had the full attention from staff at all wineries and we felt like like sommeliers by the time we finished! The sprinter van was also a touch of class! No better way to get to the wineries in style. Thank you guys!
