Central Otago Wine Tour
— Premium Experience
Every tasting included. Pre-booked cellar doors. Priority service. This is Central Otago wine touring at its finest.
The Premium Difference
Unlike our Standard tour, the Premium experience includes all wine tastings at every winery — no reaching for your wallet at the cellar door. We pre-book your cellar door experiences so you skip the queues and enjoy priority service at every stop. Complimentary bottled water is provided throughout, and we can arrange an optional reserved lunch at a vineyard restaurant.
The Ultimate Wine Experience
Central Otago is the world's southernmost wine region — a place where extreme altitude, schist soils, and dramatic continental climate conspire to produce Pinot Noir of extraordinary depth and elegance. The Gibbston Valley sub-region, known as the "Valley of the Vines," is the crown jewel of this remarkable landscape.
Your Premium tour begins with a private collection from your Queenstown accommodation. As your driver winds through the spectacular Kawarau Gorge — past the historic bungy bridge and along the turquoise river — you'll feel the anticipation build. At each of three handpicked premium wineries, you'll be greeted with pre-arranged cellar door experiences: no queuing, no fuss, just world-class wine and attentive service.
Between tastings, relax in vineyard gardens with mountain views, explore underground wine caves, or simply sit with a glass of award-winning Pinot Noir and watch the light play across the schist rock faces. This is wine touring as it should be — unhurried, indulgent, and utterly memorable.
