Tour enológico por la tarde de Queenstown (solo para adultos) | Kiwi Host, Max 10

Thank you so much for your lovely review! I absolutely love that you described the tour as a "mini afternoon escape"—that's exactly the experience we hope to create. Our public tours are adults only, so guests can truly relax, unwind, enjoy some incredible Central Otago wines, and take in the beautiful scenery without having to think about driving. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed learning about the region, the personalised winery experiences, and travelling in comfort between each stop. We really value the relationships we've built with our winery partners, so it's wonderful to hear their hospitality helped make the afternoon so memorable. Thank you for recommending us to other parents looking for a well-earned break. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your travels, and we'd love to welcome you back to Queenstown for another wine adventure in the future! Cheers, Emma Alpine Wine Tours

Thank you so much, Katie, for your wonderful review! We're so pleased you enjoyed your afternoon escape and that we could provide the perfect adults-only break. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I'm delighted you enjoyed the personalised tastings at each winery, the beautiful Central Otago scenery, and our comfortable boutique tour experience. Thank you for your kind words about my hosting—it really means a lot. Hopefully your wine memories (and perhaps a bottle or two!) help you relive your afternoon in Queenstown long after you're home. Enjoy the rest of your travels, and we'd love to welcome you back for another wine adventure next time you're in Queenstown! Cheers, Emma Alpine Wine Tours

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure hosting you both during your honeymoon, and I’m so glad we could still go ahead with a smaller group so you could experience Central Otago’s incredible Pinot Noir region. I loved sharing the stories behind the wines and answering all of your questions along the way. And the fact you bought a bottle from each winery definitely means the tastings were a success 😄🍷 Thank you again for choosing Alpine Wine Tours as part of your Queenstown honeymoon. I hope you enjoy opening those bottles together in the future and remembering your time here in New Zealand. Safe travels and congratulations again! Cheers, Emma 🥂

Thank you so much for your lovely review Jae! It was such a pleasure hosting you both during your honeymoon, and I’m so happy you enjoyed discovering the stories behind Central Otago’s Pinot Noir and tasting so many beautiful local wines along the way. Thank you as well for recommending us to future Queenstown visitors — it truly means so much to a small local business. I hope you both have an amazing honeymoon and get the chance to open another Central Otago Pinot Noir together on a future anniversary 🍷😊 Safe travels and hopefully we’ll see you back in Queenstown one day!

Hi Alex, “Best wine tour of my life” — wow, thank you! That truly means so much! I’m so glad you loved the smaller, more intimate group experience—that’s exactly what we aim for so you can relax and enjoy every moment from start to finish. And Bella will be very happy to hear she helped make it extra special 🐶🍷 Really appreciate you calling it a must-do—means a lot to a small, local business like ours. Hope to see you back in Queenstown again soon! Cheers, Emma & Bella 🐾🍷

Hi Jade, Thank you so much for your lovely review — it truly means a lot. I’m so glad you enjoyed the afternoon and appreciated the flexibility with the tastings. That’s something I really try to make special, so you can discover wines you genuinely love rather than feeling like you’re on a fixed, one-size-fits-all experience. It was such a pleasure hosting you, and I’m really happy you came away having learned a little more about the wines and the region along the way. Enjoy the rest of your holiday in NZ and the Central Otago wines 🍷 Cheers, Emma Alpine Wine Tours

Thank you for your beautiful review Graye — it truly means a lot. I’m so pleased you enjoyed the wine selection. We take great care in curating the wineries, so it feels personal, seamless, and a little bit special from start to finish. It was a pleasure hosting you, and of course Bella will be delighted to know she added to the experience 🐾🍷 We’re so glad to have been part of your Queenstown experience — one to remember long after the last glass 🍷 Cheers, Emma

Hi Andrew, Thank you so much for joining us and for taking the time to leave a review! I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the Queenstown Afternoon Wine Tour — the premium tastings and stunning wineries are even better when you can just relax and let someone else do the driving! We really appreciate you choosing to spend your afternoon with us and hope to welcome you back next time you’re in Queenstown. Warm regards, Emma Alpine Wine Tours 🍷

Hi Matthew, Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was such a pleasure guiding you, and I’m really glad you enjoyed the afternoon. I love sharing the stories behind our wineries, so it means a lot to hear that it came through. And yes — Bella the wine dog was absolutely thrilled to be part of the tour that day! She takes her “guest happiness” role very seriously and will be chuffed to know she was appreciated. 🐾🍷 Hope to see you again next time you’re in Queenstown! Warmest regards, Emma & Bella Alpine Wine Tours

Hi Don, Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the wines and found me friendly and knowledgeable, but I’m sorry to hear that parts of the experience didn’t meet your expectations. We carefully select wineries that have vineyards on-site, and during your tour, you did have the opportunity to see them. At Kinross, Diego took you outside to see the vines after your guided tasting. At Gibbston Valley Wines, I personally walked you and the group to the Home Block vineyard, where you saw the 1983 Pinot Noir sign, learned about its significance plus the opportunity for photos and to see the Pinot Noir grapes up close. At Amisfield, there is a view looking out towards the vineyard from the Cellar Door tables we were seated at. While we understand some guests may prefer outdoor tastings, wineries typically host them indoors to ensure the best experience—keeping wines at the right temperature, avoiding weather disruptions, and allowing for a structured and engaging presentation plus guests don’t have to worry about having to bring all their attire if it’s too hot, cold, windy or worry about getting sunburnt. Our tour begins at 3pm so this assumes guests have had lunch beforehand, but we do include a stop where bar snacks can be purchased for those wanting a small bite. The tour also returns to town by 6:30pm, giving plenty of time for dinner afterwards. We always aim to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for all guests, and I do my best to ensure everyone feels comfortable and included. While I appreciate that everyone has different personalities and preferences, I also strive to balance the experience so that all guests have the opportunity to engage and enjoy the tour in a way that feels welcoming. While no tour is perfect for everyone, we take great care in curating a high-quality wine experience, and I hope that despite these concerns, you were able to enjoy Central Otago’s incredible wines. Perhaps next time, a private wine tour experience would suit you better. Best regards, Emma
