Great! Great trip although the bus a little cramped for a 6ft 3inch person.

A winery wonderland We had a wonderful day with Paul, our guide. He took us to four fabulous wineries. One of the wineries gave us a very tasty lunch that consisted of bread, various spreads and meats. Paul is a long-time resident of the area, shared the history, culture and interesting contemporary facts. His driving along the curvy, hill roads was very impressive. Paul was so knowledgable and enthusiastic. Request him for your tour

Day out eating and drinking We enjoyed the small group concept. Paul was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about the area, history, vineyards, and the wine we were tasting. He made sure that our dietary requirements were met during lunch. Lunch was outstanding and the cellar door hosts at each winery were warm, attentive, and never made us feel rushed. All in all it was a nice day out. If you have a car you can do it cheaper but it was nice not having to drive, especially if the driver is sampling the wines. They give you nice pours.

Best small group Wine and Food Tour in Queenstown! Paul was a fantastic guide, he has so much knowledge and love for the area. He gave us insight into the Gold History and Wine History of the area and a sneaky little Lord of the Rings highlight stop. Food at The Stoker room was delicious. Venison with the Pinot was a standout to all. The Gin we got to try at Carrick was fabulous and the view was gorgeous, they have a beautiful tasting room. My standout wine of the day was the Riesling at Gibson valley in the cave. Great day worth every cent and the wine and great company was fantastic 👌😍🍷

Great Pinot Noir tour! It was a perfect tour given our time constraints while in Queenstown. Each vineyard did an amazing job with explaining the area, grapes, and wine!
