Valii and Wild Irishman - worth a try
Martial was an excellent, entertaining and thoughtful wine guide

Great winery
Fantastic winery just outside of Queenstown. You get to sample wines from 5 small local wineries that work together as a co-op, plus learn the history of each. Brian was a fantastic tasting host and really knows his stuff.
M
Enjoyable Experience
An excellent experience. The setting and cellar door were perfectly arranged to give the feel of a private experience. The Sommelier explained the wine varieties and subtle difference in a way that was easy to understand and did not make you feel pressured to make a purchase. Highly recommended.

Fun place to go from Queenstown
Good place to try all they offer. Great tasting plate too. Went organized tour out of Queenstown. Good wines and great background.

Great experience every single time
This is the third time I came over to do the wine tasting, and to eat at the restaurant. The wine tasting with Charles was fun, engaging, he is very knowledgeable and really entertaining. Always learn something new. The whole place is amazing with great atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is delicious, and of course, the wine is outstanding. Definitely recommend, particularly on a sunny afternoon.

Great wine tasting experience
My friend and I stopped off at Kinross, and decided to do a tasting last minute. The team were really friendly and booked us straight in. Emeline was a fantastic host and took us through the different wines, explaining their provenance and explaining the region's wine production. A really enjoyable afternoon with delicious wines, would definitely recommend.
