Hi Chuck, thank you for your great review of our 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻.

We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime to explore even more of Central Otago’s beautiful wineries with us! Ngā mihi nui, The Queenstown Wine Trail Team 💛
We had a very enjoyable day with our wine expert guide Clair of Queenstown Wine Trail. Clair was also our driver, although we had booked a small group tour of max. 8 people, my wife and I were the only participants that particular day. We were very happy it was not cancelled when Clair picked us up in a very nice and big luxury SUV and we had a marvelous 7.5 hours long wine and scenic tour with Clair visiting 4 excellent wineries in Gibbston, Cromwell and Bannockburn as well as a few scenic stops at the Cromwell gorge and were very lucky to also witness a bungee jump at the famous gorge bridge. We also had a great and tasty ala cart lunch at the Carrick Winery restaurant. We thank Clair and Queenstown Wine Trail for an excellent wine tasting day learning much about the proud history of fine wine making in Central Otago.

Hi Ben, wow!! What a fab review and thank you for sharing so many pics of your wonderful day out so people can see what to expect. We only have a minimum of two people to confirm a tour, so if a couple is booked on to go - they do. And sometimes we are able to upgrade the vehicle to one of our luxury private vehicles, so it makes it a very special day, so we're delighted you enjoyed your experience. Claire is a wonderful Wine Guide, and WSET qualified, like all our guides, so our guests experience is top notch! We look forward to welcoming you back again one day. Ngā mihi nui, The Queenstown Wine Trail Team 💛
