Beautiful Winter Wine Tour - We had a wonderful wine tour! The atmosphere of all of the wineries was unique and highlighted some of the smaller wineries. We were able to taste a wide variety of types throughout the 3 wineries.

Beautiful wine tour with friends - We had a fantastic time touring three vineyards today. Emma gave us a brief history of the wine culture in New Zealand and did a great job selecting the vineyards we visited. We will definitely do this again when we’re back in the area!

Amazing wine tour - highly recommend! - Amazing wine tour! Got to experience 3 days different wineries (Gibbston Valley winery, Kinross and Amisfield), all with unique selling points. Enjoyed the commentary in between wineries in regards to the history of the Central Otago wine region. Overall very well organised and guide was very well informed. Highly recommend! Bella the wine dog is also very cute, and a great addition to the tour!

Excellent tour with knowledgeable guide - It was a rainy day and perfect for tasting wine!! The wine dog had the day off, but our guide Grant was knowledgeable and excellent. The 3 wineries had a good selection, and there was ample time for browsing and buying. Would go again if I was in Queenstown!!

Great Day in the Vineyards - Had a great day with Emma who was lovely and very knowledgeable. Our companions on the trip were also a hoot! Wines were excellent. Predominantly pinot but fitted the bill nicely. All up would highly recommend.

False advertising no dog/dogs on tour - Wine tour promoted as dogs + wine tour. To be honest only booked because of the assumption that there would either be a dog riding with us or dogs to meet at the wineries… there was neither just a book of dogs ?? Very disappointing since tour was quite pricey. Wines were ok 2 of 3 wineries were subpar at best, however the one that served lunch was great. Would not recommend
