Best wine tour we have ever been on. Tea was the best host and we had the best time!
Hi Anand, Wow!! “the best wine tour we have ever been on”!! 🤩 Thank you so much, what wonderful feedback to receive! We're absolutely delighted you had such a fantastic time on our Queenstown Wine & Food Tour with Tea, enjoying the wines, wineries and beautiful Gibbston scenery. Teaukura will be stoked to hear he made your day so special. 🥰 Thank you for choosing Queenstown Wine Trail, and for such an incredible recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Queenstown again one day. Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew 💛
What an awesome Wine Tour we had! So much fun and a nice small group, which made it easy to get to know our fellow wine tasters. Our guide Kiki was amazing and made sure everyone was well taken care of and took lots of photos of the group and created a wee page especially for us and shared all our pics for the day! Can so recommend doing a wine tour with this operator and will be doing it again next year! Cheers, Wendy
Hi Wendy, What a wonderful review, thank you! We’re so pleased you loved your Queenstown Wine & Food Tour with us. And thank you especially for your lovely words about Kiki. As her husband and business partner, I may be slightly biased, but I know how much heart she puts into making every experience special for our guests, and I think she loved that day as much as you all did. Just last week she heard that the young couple from your group who were house-hunting had bought a home, and she was absolutely stoked for them! Clearly your group left some lovely memories with her too. We love that you’re coming back next year for more, and I know she’ll look forward to seeing you again! Ngā mihi nui, Andrew
Fabulous day with amazing wines and delicious lunch. The best part… the driver, T’s, constant banter. If I could give 6 stars I would!
Hi Trudy, Six stars? We'll take that, even if Viator can't find a spare! 😂 Thank you so much for such a fabulous review! We’re delighted you loved your Queenstown Wine & Food Tour, from the amazing Central Otago wines and delicious paired winery lunch at Kinross, to plenty of Kiwi T-Rex banter along the way! 😎 We’ll be sure to pass your wonderful feedback on to Tea too! ✨ Thank you for choosing Queenstown Wine Trail, we're the original pioneers of wine touring in Central Otago, since 1992, and your support means a lot to us. 💛 Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew 💛
We had a fantastic day! T was a great tour guide telling us all sorts of information about the region and the wineries and taking photos of us when asked, he was very friendly and approachable! We visited 3 wineries plus had lunch at one of them and everything we had was amazing!

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him! Thank you for choosing Queenstown Wine Trail to show you a little of our incredible Central Otago wine world. We hope those photos bring back some very happy memories! 😊 Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew 💛

My partner and I had an outstanding experience. The scenery around Queenstown was breathtaking, the wine and food were excellent, and Tee was knowledgeable and welcoming throughout the day. A well organised tour that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Queenstown.
Hi you two 💛 What a wonderful review, thank you! We’re so pleased you had such an outstanding day on our Scenic Wine & Food Tour from Queenstown, enjoying our wine, food & spectacular scenery. It’s lovely to hear you enjoyed Tea’s knowledge and welcoming kiwi-banter style too. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to him. And those photos! 😂 Love it!! The Kinross shot is fabulous, but that Gibbston Valley wine cave photo is classic!! Clearly everyone understood the assignment! Thank you for choosing Queenstown Wine Trail and for such a wonderful recommendation to other guests visiting Queenstown. Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew 💛
The driver was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable, and most importantly, drove safely. The wineries were all slightly different which was enjoyable, and the lunch was delicious.
Each winery was unique, and the setting for each was gorgeous. Blake was our guide and he was an absolute gem. Im not even into wine very much but between the guide, the different locations, the included lunch, it was a fabulous day.
Hi Hayley, Thank you for your lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed the different wineries and our lunch. We'll pass on your kind words to Blake, and we agree with you he is a gem! We hope to welcome you again for more gorgeous scenery and wine adventures soon. Ngā mihi nui, Kiki & Andrew 💛
