Your Taste-bud Tingling Afternoon

Meet your friendly local guide in the Queenstown town centre outside The Station Building on Camp Street. From here we travel out and enjoy exploring the Gibbston wine region and Queenstown, visiting a diverse range of cellar doors offering unique collections of both local wines and craft beers.

GT Tasting 

Our first stop of the day is the Gibbston Tavern, where you will find the GT Tasting Room. Fun and local at heart they have teamed up with local winemakers to produce wines exclusively for them. The beers available for tasting haven’t come far either, a local Gibbston Brewery called Alpine Ale Works craft beers just 1km down the road to produce refreshing lagers & ales and to top it off finishing with a locally made Ginger Beer which all the Queenstown locals love to support. 

Kinross

Kinross is our second stop and a fantastic location to try a range of different wines across multiple labels. Along with producing their own wines, their cellar door host will also showcase wines from smaller producers and share their incredible stories of how they came to be. 

They are also hosting Altitude Brewery beers, a small batch brewery from Queenstown which have continuously won the title of ‘Best Small Batch Brewery in New Zealand’, they love what they do and want to keep it their way, with no consideration to expand they are able to experiment and make delicious craft beers that are always going to excite and delight. 

Canyon Brewing

Nestled on the shores of the famous Shotover River is where you’ll find Canyon Brewing. They started small but have quickly grown to be well-known around New Zealand and this bustling brewery is known for its delicious food, apres ski parties, and of course the delicious beers. Along with their selection of craft beers, they have a rotating array of local Central Otago wines which include, Peregrine Wines, Lake Hayes Estate, Wet Jacket, Nanny Goat, and the list goes on. It’s an impressive wine list full of some of the local favourite boutique wineries. 

It is here we will tuck into shared antipasto platters, the perfect entre before being dropped back into Queenstown Town Centre at 7 pm and carrying on your evening activities.

Locations are subject to change, however in the case where we cannot visit one of the mentioned cellar doors, it will replaced with an equally great location with delicious wines to taste.
