Itinerary

Central Queenstown Departure
Meet your friendly guide and fellow guests in central Queenstown. Settle into a premium vehicle and get ready for an entertaining afternoon exploring Gibbston’s top cellar doors and breweries.

Stop One – GT Tasting Room at Gibbston Tavern
Begin your tasting journey at the rustic Gibbston Tavern. Choose from a selection of locally produced wines or sample craft beer brewed just down the road. A relaxed and welcoming first stop to ease into the flavours of the region.

Stop Two – Kinross Cellar Door
Continue to Kinross, where you’ll enjoy a guided tasting of premium wines from five boutique Central Otago wineries. Prefer beer? You can opt for a tasting from a local small-batch brewer. This stop highlights the diversity and quality of the region’s producers.

Stop Three – Canyon Brewing, Arthurs Point
Finish with a vibrant tasting flight at Canyon Brewing, located near the base of Coronet Peak. Choose from house-brewed beers or local wines, and enjoy a shared grazing platter with your group. Relax and soak in the views of the Shotover River before heading back to Queenstown.

Return to Queenstown
Arrive back in town just in time for dinner or evening plans — feeling cheerful, relaxed, and perhaps with a new favourite drop in mind.
