Create your own dream tour! From adventure to luxury and everything in between.
We love to create customised and bespoke wine tours that ensure groups get the most out of their visit to Queenstown. Custom Wine Tours might include an occasion such as a birthday,a family reunion, a hen’s party or post-wedding celebration.
You might have a few ideas of things you would like to incorporate, or alternatively, if you are looking for something unique and extraordinary, we have a selection of ideas we can suggest so you find what you are looking for! Be sure to check out our set itineraries on our Private Wine Tours page as well.
Custom Wine Tours can be created for any group size (2 – 60+) and for any length of time. If you are just looking for return transfers to a particular vineyard, or you are looking for a full day out with a variety of both vineyard stops, scenic stops or even incorporating other activities, let us design your perfect itinerary to suit your time and budget requirements.
We have access to many special rates from other local operators that we can incorporate into the tour and guarantee you will be getting the best possible deal.
We offer a comprehensive selection of packages to cater for a wide range of requirements. They vary considerably from a short tour out to the local vineyards near to Queenstown, to quite extensive and varied day out incorporating activities from jet boating, gold panning to scenic helicopter flights.
We also have a wide variety of vehicles from luxury sedans through to large buses should you have a large group to cater for. Depending on the group size, we may be able to arrange an itinerary where you can visit all of the vineyards together, or split the groups to visit different vineyards and meet together for lunch, and then swap over. Whatever you decide, we will create an itinerary that will be sure to impress.
We can customise a tour to suit your needs, time available, and budget. Here are a few examples of what we can put together for you:

Elyse T14 April 2024Wine and Smoked Fare This was one of the most interesting of the several wine tours we took in New Zealand. The wine was excellent and the vintners interesting, but the star of the tour was lunch at the Stoakery Restaurant: meats and vegetables cooked in repurposed wine barrels served with a selection of Wild Earth wines. A unique and very tasty experience.VerifiedPatti J8 April 2024Helpful guide and good variation in wineries Our guide, Al, was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us wonderful insight about the vineyards we were visiting. Each of the wineries treated us with their best pours and helpful tasting notes. Lunch was a real treat, we asked for the vegetarian option and it was one for the best plates we had in NZ. Al also made sure everything operated well, even helping out at the meal and cheese tasting. I highly recommend this company for a tour.VerifiedWarwick M4 April 2024Great experience. This trip was a great experience. We had Paul as our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable, welcoming and ensured we had a great time. The wineries were lovely and the food was great. Would highly recommend.VerifiedTodd F4 April 2024Amazing Whiskey and Wine tasting luxury tour - one not to miss My wife bought for me a Whiskey and Wine Tasting luxury tour. We were picked up from our hotel by John, who was wonderfully engaging and knowledgeable about the area we were travelling through. We went to the Cardrona Distillery for a personal tour of the distillation process and tasting afterwards, which was wonderfully delivered by the team at Cardrona. We then went to Kinross Vineyard's Celler Door which was representing 5 different vineyards followed by a food platter - all was amazing and well delivered by the local teams. Would highly recommend this tour.VerifiedCindy C30 March 2024One of the best wine tours I've been on around the world Outstanding food and wine tour with an amazingly interesting group of people and a extremely knowledgeable guide. The sommelier were fantastic too. This region is known to produce some of the best Pinot Noir in the world. I learned sooooo much ... and tasted MANY wines...in fact it was one of the most generous wine tours in terms of how many wines we tasted. We visited Gibbston Valley Winery, Akarua winery, Misha's Vineyard (this where we had the main food tasting which was seriously spectacular... my favorite food thus far on our trip), and Mt. Rosa Wines. A couple of my favorites from rhe day were the 2023 Pinot Rouge by Akarua, 2022 China Terrace by Gibbston.VerifiedAlice K21 March 2024Tasteful and fun day Tasteful and fun day visiting 4 smaller wineries, including having a very tasteful lunch at one of them. Traveling together with a small group of 10 people from several different countries was great.VerifiedOnAir4678355554218 March 2024You Must Do a this It was an awesome trip - so well worth the money - excellent knowledgeable driver and very warm welcomes from the vineyards - the food was outstandingVerifiedCatherine S17 March 2024Great day out! A really great day out with a lovely, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Although we visited several wineries, the day never felt rushed. Lunch at The Stoaker was delicious. Being in a small group of around 10-12 was great as everyone got to know each other a little. Highly recommended.VerifiedMartina T12 March 2024Great value, unique and special wines Great selection of wines. The last winery (Brennan) had some really unique and special wines and the best vibes. Bonus was the friendly winery dogs on site to welcome us. Our driver Al was friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. Lunch at Carrick winery was delicious, filling and good quality. Round trip transportation was included in the cost in addition to a tasting at each of the 4 wineries so great value for the price
