Had a delightful evening in Queenstown sampling some delicious food and wine at 3 stunning locations. Was so nice to leave all the details and driving to Alpine Wine Tours and to just sit back, relax and enjoy! We basically had a private tour with our guide Vicky, who was also great company and very knowledgeable about the area. Would recommend Alpine Wine Tours to anyone looking for a professional tour with a personal touch.

Great evening

Lorine_S, Feb 2025

Very pleasant evening and efficiently planned and run. Food choices were made in advance of each stop and were being served within minutes of arrival and nicely paired with wine choices. Each venue was quite different but very nice. Host/driver Grant was very engaging, knowledgeable, and fun. We were well taken care of!

Response from Host, Feb 2025

A memorable experience

Stewart_G, Oct 2020

We were picked up from our motel by Vicky right on time, a great start. Our first stop was Amisfield Winery where we had our delicious entree and met Merek ( I apologise Merek if I haven't spelled your name correctly ) who was in charge of the wine tasting. He really knows his wines and is also an extremely nice person, he has only one flaw....he is a Blackburn Rover supporter ( an English football team ) From there it was on to a lovely restaurant in Arrowtown for our main course and more wine and finally to Eichards hotel in Queenstown for cocktails and dessert. Our fellow diners, Mike and Kim were excellent company and really helped to make the night a memorable experience. Our guide and driver for the night was Vicky, a lovely lady and also extremely knowledgeable about the area and wine. Highly recommended.
