Overview

The only Queenstown tasting tour that brings together award-winning wine, world-class gin, and craft beer in one seamless afternoon — fully hosted, so you don’t have to plan a thing.

Begin at Amisfield, one of Central Otago’s most celebrated wineries, before heading to Arrowtown for a tasting at Rifters — home of the World’s Best Gin. Finish at Canyon Brewing, an award-winning brewery set above the Shotover River.

Along the way, enjoy a scenic drive through Queenstown’s iconic landscapes, including Lake Wakatipu, The Remarkables, Lake Hayes, Arrowtown, and Coronet Peak.

Designed for couples, friends, and mixed groups, this adults-only experience (max 10 guests) is relaxed, social, and hosted by a knowledgeable New Zealand local — ensuring a seamless, well-paced afternoon.

With just 10 seats per tour, it often books out — if your date is available, it’s worth securing.
