Fabulous day out on the Gibbston valley despite the rain. Our guide was great very informative and connected with us all personally. He was very tolerant as the day wore on and we got louder. He took care of everyone and getting us all home safely. We had so much fun Thank you so much Mr Te you were the best.
T was the perfect driver. He was very knowledgeable, took us to wineries which we didn’t know about. Very funny and loves a good singalong. Couldn’t suggest more to do this experience. Thank you T, keep doing what you’re doing. (30yo, accountant)
Absolutely fabulous tour, our bus driver Te was so attentive and took us to some great wineries and a place where we could sample some gin. Recommend the underground cave tour at Gibbston. Great music and small group on the bus made it a fun drive back to Queenstown, would definitely recommend and would go again.
What a fun day! Tea was knowledgeable and experienced and helped guide us with suggestions to different wineries. Highly recommend and would do this again knowing how many wineries there are in the area!
Fantastic Hopper wine tour. This was sensational day. Many thanks to Andrew for the best wine tour ever. I highly recommend this tour. It is a great way to see the wineries.
I had a great day on the tour which was exactly what I was looking for. The tour was very flexible and adapted throughout the day to everyone’s needs. The tour guide, Blake, was very knowledgable and friendly and we went to all the wineries that were suggested. Well done.

We had a wonderful day wine tasting! Fabian was a wonderful host and guide throughout the day. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and made our experience so fantastic! The best part of the experience was being able to choose where and when we wanted to taste. No set schedule. We had as much time as we wanted to taste, eat and/or explore. Truly a 5 star experience. Would book this experience again and recommend to others!

We had a great afternoon with T as our driver. T was super friendly and super knowledgeable about wines - giving us plenty of recommendations on the wine hopper tour. Loved that we could choose which wineries to visit and got to visit four in Gibbston Valley. It was a great way to enjoy Gibbston wines and made for a perfect afternoon. Thanks T, for making things so easy for us.
