Itinerary
The first stop on tour is the GT Tasting Room, located at the historic Gibbston Tavern. Guest’s have the opportunity to select a wine or local craft beer tasting. The wine is grown and produced in the Gibbston region and the beer is from a local brewery just 1km down the road. Learn about the unique Gibbston region for producing world class wines and savour the flavours of what the locals beer drinkers consume.
Next is a short drive further into the Gibbston region at Kinross Cellar Door. Here is a hosted wine tasting with Kinross and their 4 boutique wine partners. Try a drop from each 5 producers including some of the most awarded Pinot Noirs in the world. If you prefer beers, here you will have the option to taste 4 delicious local beers, with self guided tasting notes to help decipher the flavours of the beers. During the seated tasting you will be able to indulge in delicious charcuterie boards.
Lastly we drive approx. 20 minutes back to the Queenstown Marina to Altitude Brewery. This is time to sit down, relax, and socialise with the group with tasting flights of both locally produced, highly classed boutique wines or the crafted beers produced by Altitude before returning safely to Queenstown just in time for your dinner.

Fantastic tour thanks to the great hospitality of Shanay who looked after us through the trip. Was never a dull moment. Great mix of beer and wine. I would highly recommend.
Shanay amazing hospitality and amazing people, wine, experience as a whole!
Wonderful experience, Since the pick up Ana was super friendly and helpful. She outlined the safety measures and explained the tour before departing. She made sure we felt safe while she was driving and encouraged us to interact, the group was upper funny and she keep us in schedule. Ana was always super helpful even for the smallest simplest questions showing the best attitude. I would recommend taking your with her 100%
Beautiful day in Central Otago with Emma. She was a great host and we enjoyed the day. Kinross was a highlight.
overall, quite terrific. Our tour guide Shanay was a energetic, super fun person. The first “platter”at Gibson Tavern was chips and salsa, not appropriate for this type of tour! Kinross Winery was FANTASTIC with terrific charcuterie boards as expected, made it all good…. Wood overall highly recommend this experience.
Caleb was soooo funny! Enjoyed him so much. Great tastings, great stops! Each winery and brewery was really fun.
Did the evening tour as an optional activity for g-adventures. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide Caleb was great - and very funny!! Both vineyards and craft beer were great and drinks/food were excellent!
This was such an amazing experience, Do, our tour guide was incredible so kind and factual about the wine and grapes and history behind it. Would really recommend doing this tour on your stop in Queenstown!!
Tour was excellent. Ana -our guide- was amazing. Fun with the group with good selection of wineries along the way. Ana helped fill in questions and provided more infor on the region as well. Have been on other wine excursions. This was the best we’ve done.
Great little wine and beer tasting tour. Enjoyed our guide. Good mix of both beer and wine and fun places
Visited 2 wineries and 1 brewery. All 3 were very interesting and had great products. We had a fun time with our guide, Edina, and our group clicked. That’s important to having a good time.
A fantastic tour, good wines and beers, and our Tour Guide, Shanai was brilliant. She certainly made it an occasion. The fee was very reasonable, especially with the platters included, and the four hour tour was just right. A great afternoon that suited a small group, and I would recommend this tour.
So much fun, cool history of wine in the area and to have an opportunity to select wine or beer tasting was a pleasant surprise.
Loved this afternoon wine/beer tasting trip. Shanay did a great job driving us to the tasting venues, and delivered good information along the way with a sense of humour. Enjoyed some excellent wines from quality wineries.
Great guide - Caleb 👍 He did a wonderful job making everyone feel welcome. The wines presented were disappointing. We’re in a region famous for Pinot Noir, yet 4 of the 5 wines at the first of two vineyards were white or rosé. (See attached picture.) Comfortable transportation. Easy to find pick-up spot.
This was so much fun and Allegra was a great host! Met some great people and drank lots of delicious wine!
we did the wineries & craft beer tour with 2 other girlfriends, & were joined by another american couple. Caleb straight away made us feel excited & happy for the tour. He took the time to ask about ourselves, a bit of history of Queenstown & whats on offer, took videos of us 3 girls after each winery (we were up to our 8th winery throughout NZ) but he had the best dad jokes that had us killing ourselves laughing. He made the tour! The wines are good, & the platter of cheeses, dips, breads etc served at the 2nd winery was outstanding, we were all digging into this while the lady from the winery explained the history of wine growing in the area. The winery had live music playing in the background, it was a lovely day. Would highly recommend this tour.
Cool trip! Good wine and beer with really nice platters at the second winery. Shanay, the tour guide, was really cool and relaxed with interesting commentary.
Amazing wines and fantastic beers in 3 great locations. Only a short journey from Queenstown but the vineyards have a great backdrop while enjoying a great variety of wines. Each staff member is really passionate and the platters really make the experience a memorable one!
Altitude Winery Tour was an absolutely memorable experience. The views alone are breathtaking, perched high above the vineyards, but the tour itself was just as impressive. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and made the wine tasting engaging and relaxed. Each wine was beautifully explained, and the quality was exceptional. The combination of stunning scenery, great wine, and warm hospitality made this tour a highlight of the trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the region.✨
This was a great way to spend our final afternoon in Queenstown and Steve was a phenomenal guide, providing interesting information about the area as we traveled to each of the three locations. There was a table waiting for our group at every winery we visited, with light snacks at the first location and more substantial shared food platters at the second location. They were even able to accommodate the dietary restrictions of one member of our group. If you are looking for a tour that offers a taste of the region's wines without committing to a full day of wine tasting, this is the one to pick!!
Great tour, great wine and beer, great guide Tom. We had a very enjoyable time learning and drinking the wine. Tom our guide was great fun and made the experience fantastic.
Great afternoon with our guide DO! Highly recommended as it was a nice way to explore Queenstown and taste the wine and beer brewed in town.
Such a great experience, loved the different stops! Our guide, Shenay was awesome - welcoming and knowledgeable . Would highly recommend!
A must do activity. An invite to how grapes are grown and the challenges faced due to climate. The food paired with wine is outstanding. Evie was our driver/guide and the best. A fun day with lots of food and great wine.
Went on the wine and beer tour with my wife. Really liked that our tour guide Shanay did introductions on the way to the first destination so that we knew other people on the tour. These introductions are not standard with other tour companies, but I think adds a lot of value and makes it easier and more enjoyable during the tour to talk with others. With the driving time and 3 breweries/wineries on the tour, 4 hours felt a bit rushed at times. Shanay did a great job managing that timing and made the experience memorable! Recommend!
Great day out with Altitude- some amazing wineries and lovely beer. The group was really fun too and we had a blast in the van between the wineries too.
Fun and informative. You get to choose between beer or wine. There's a good variety of whites and reds. Our guide, Do, is the best!
Shanay took us on a great beer/wine tour. Three places, many tastings, strangers became friends. Got the history of wine in New Zeland, tastes whites, reds and great beers at Altitude. Highly recommend!
Great tour exploring the Queenstown area. Our Guide was really cool and made the whole group feel welcome. We didn't know the other people in our tour before but by the end we were all having a great time. We learned about the local scene and had wonderful wine and beer!
This was one of the best tours I’ve done - 4.5 hours at 3 great winery/ breweries. Our guide Steve was brilliant~ professional, engaging, fun and knowledgeable. It was a comfortable mini bus for a group of 15 ( max size group is 16) . Beautiful country side, and great wines and beers at each venue. The charcuterie platters at the middle winery were fantastic~ lots of meat/ cheese/ dips/ sauces / olives/ chocolates. Really delicious and more than enough for us. Traffic delayed us at the start, but Steve happily accommodated us staying a bit longer at the last venue. A seriously good afternoon~highly recommend
Kevin was funny and knowledgeable about the area, good variety of wine & beer. The small group made it fun and more personal
Fun tour guide. Kept us moving from place to place. Seemed to enjoy her job. She also made everyone feel comfortable with the mixed group
My mom and I recently went on the tour and had so much fun! The two wineries were beautiful with amazing wine. the brewery was great too! We really enjoyed the charcuterie board at the last winery. Everyone was so friendly! And we loved Thomas!!! The best. Highly recommend!
Great locations that we visited with lots of selections to choose from. Our tour guide, Do, was very informative, fun and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour—especially with our tour guide Do.
Great experience from communication before the tour to drop off. Beth was very knowledgeable about the local area and wine making. She was friendly and professional through out, easy to have a laugh together. Fave stop was the tavern, he was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information. Great scenic views along the drive. Thanks Beth!!
This was an excellent trip fantastic wines were tasted. Ash and Steve were great guides. Would certainly recommend this trip.
Can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Altitude. Our driver/host Allegra was fantastic and very easy to talk to. Was a great mix of wines and beers so definitely covered most people’s tastes. In all had a great time and definitely a 5 star experience
Shanay was our guide and from the outset she made the whole experience fun. She was knowledgeable about the area and was engaging and funny. Nothing was a problem for Shanay even when we needed an urgent pit stop. The wineries were great but I think our favourite place was the first tavern.
Shanay was an amazing guide! She showed us across lovely locations & took care of us amazingly - I would 100% recommend this tour, wine & snacks was great! Bonus, if youve got Shanay as your guide - you’re in for a treat!
Had a brillant time, seeing the landscapes with the wineries and taverns; absolutely fantastic!! Shanay was a lovely guide
Shanay was fantastic and I had a great time. The wines and beers were the best I’ve ever had. Lots of fun, would recommend.
10/10 customer service. Great adventure and fun trip. Tour guide Shanay was fantastic and put up with alot of banter. Top DJ also
Shanay is the best, loved it so much, would recommend this trip. Learnt so much about the wine country here. Wine was soo goood.
Loved the experience with the different breweries. The tour guide was amazing and very friendly. Would highly recommend
This tour was so much fun! We had a blast and are still talking about it years later! Absolutely recommend!!
Shanay absolutely made our day. She is a legend, we had the best day ever with her and we will 100% all be back. Highly recommend 10/10
Had a fantastic experience. Great to get to taste test some local wines and beers and hear the history of wine growing. Very friendly tour guides
Had the best time thanks to Stuart on the twilight tour. He was lovely company and also very educational on the areas we visited. The weather wasn’t great but we all still managed to make the most of it. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends.
