Had the best time thanks to Stuart on the twilight tour. He was lovely company and also very educational on the areas we visited. The weather wasn’t great but we all still managed to make the most of it. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends.

Visited 2 wineries and 1 brewery. All 3 were very interesting and had great products. We had a fun time with our guide, Edina, and our group clicked. That’s important to having a good time.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Sounds like the group chemistry worked out perfectly, Kandy! That mix of wineries and a brewery keeps the afternoon nicely varied, and Edita will be glad to hear she helped make it such a fun outing 🍷🍺 Thanks for joining us.

A must do activity. An invite to how grapes are grown and the challenges faced due to climate. The food paired with wine is outstanding. Evie was our driver/guide and the best. A fun day with lots of food and great wine.

Shanay was our guide and from the outset she made the whole experience fun. She was knowledgeable about the area and was engaging and funny. Nothing was a problem for Shanay even when we needed an urgent pit stop. The wineries were great but I think our favourite place was the first tavern.

Thank you for your positive review - and for your kinds words about Shanay! We hope to host you in future.

We had an incredible evening being able to get a taste of some NZ beer and wine. Danny was our guide and he was fantastic - very friendly, professional and took good care of us. We enjoyed all of the stops and found it a good value!!!
Kathy_B, May 2024
I don’t normally write reviews but this tour was so much fun & perfect for our needs. We needed something that was a small group and just half a day (to fit in other touristy activities) & included beer for hubby and wine for me. This tour really delivered! Our guides Tommy & Jono were pretty cool guys, really funny but knowledgeable about the wine & beer and also the local area. We laughed heaps & the little gift bag at the end was a lovely surprise. I definitely recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Sounds like you had a blast on our Twilight Tour!
Being able to choose between wine and beer at each location is such a great perk! We are thrilled you enjoyed the convenient afternoon departure, small group setting and Jono and Tommy's guiding.
Thanks for sharing your super positive review we are so glad you had a great time!

I couldn’t do the tour because the minimum number of participants was not met.
There are cases where people want to participate in the tour but are not able to do so.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We're truly sorry to hear that you couldn't join the tour due to the minimum participant requirement not being met. We understand how frustrating it must have been. While we do advertise the minimum numbers required, we apologise if the communication about rescheduling options was unclear. We value every guest's experience and encourage you to reach out if you'd like to discuss alternative options. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Shelley (driver) led an awesome tour and made it even better than it was. 3 great places to stop, great wine and craft beer, and an amazing host of a driver who ensured we all had a ball.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
We really appreciate you sharing your awesome Twilight Wine & Craft Beer Tour experience. It is excellent to know it was the perfect arvo hosted by Shelley. Thank you for choosing Altitude Tours.
Ryan_S, Aug 2023
Shelly was a great guide! We loved every minute of our tour. With a group of 7 it was very nice to get to know the other people on the tour. The first stop was probably our favorite. Cozy, not too busy, a great selection of tastings. Could have spent the entire evening there. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to get out of downtown and try some local wines.
Wanita_H, Aug 2023
Lilly was a great guide. The food with the tastings was also excellent. The first set of wines was ok. Really enjoyed the 2nd set of wines. Enjoyed the last brewery! Definitely worth the trip!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing to experience the Queenstown wine and craft beer scene with Altitude Tours. We are grateful for the recommendation.
