Alpine Wine Tours

Alpine Wine Tours offers memorable daily group, private and custom wine, brewery and distillery tours from Queenstown – the gateway to Central Otago’s renowned wine region. Our Daily Group Wine Tours have been created exclusively for adults only to ensure that the rest of the group experiences an unforgettable day. If you're after a fully-tailored experience with family, friends or colleagues, create your own magic with our private and custom tours. Feel free to bring the little ones along! Immerse yourself in a sensory experience in New Zealand’s largest wine cave, taste award-winning wines from the Valley of the Vines, learn about the spirit-making process, from grain to glass, at a local family-owned artisan distillery or learn about the brewing process from paddock to pint on a micor-brewery tour. Whatever your preference, there’s a tour designed specially to please your palate. With a love for guiding, the region’s vintages and the tourism industry, you’re in safe hands with your local guides. Wine-lovers can soak up the history of century-old oak wine barrels while swirling and sniffing unique flavours from the world's most southern wine region, and foodies will be overjoyed with the chance to savour local cuisine along the way. There’s no need to worry about a ‘dedicated driver’ as your guide whisks you away through the stunning Gibbston sub-region in comfort and style in our fleet of European vehicles, including a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Mercedes Ambiente and Land Rover Discovery. Alpine Wine Tours is family owned and operated by the husband-and-wife to be team Emma Chisholm and Lee Saunders. With family connections to Queenstown and the wider Otago region dating back nearly 60 years, their combined local knowledge and family heritage means they offer guests a genuinely authentic Kiwi hospitality experience in ‘their’ backyard. The passionate team has a love for guiding, Central Otago’s unique wine trail and the tourism industry. We pride ourselves on delivering quality travel experiences and environmental practices, recognised by New Zealand tourism’s official quality assurance organisation Qualmark with a silver rating.
