Overview

A private, fully tailored wine experience through Central Otago — designed around you.

Experience the region privately, at your own pace, and without compromise. This full-day experience is ideal for couples wanting more than a shared tour.

With your own knowledgeable New Zealand local host, the day flows effortlessly — no fixed schedule, just a relaxed and personalised experience.

Visit a handpicked selection of Central Otago wineries, including Kinross in Gibbston Valley, where you’ll taste across boutique producers.

Continue to Bannockburn for Te Kano Estate, known for its striking architecture and expressive Pinot Noir, before a hosted tasting and optional winery lunch at Carrick or Mt Difficulty.

Finish at Amisfield overlooking Lake Hayes — one of New Zealand’s most celebrated cellar doors.

Four premium wineries. Fully private. Tailored to you.

Most guests say this is a highlight of their Queenstown trip — and once you’ve experienced it this way, it’s hard to go back.
