Welcome to Alpine Wine Tours

Alpine Wine Tours offers memorable group, private and custom wine tours and the region’s first Progressive Dinner Tour from Queenstown

Immerse yourself in a sensory experience in New Zealand’s largest wine cave and taste award-winning Central Otago wines from the Valley of the Vines.

Explore some of Queenstown’s most iconic settings as we take you on a social night out to meet new friends with amazing local wine, craft beers and stunning food on the region’s first Progressive Dinner Tour.

Wine-lovers can soak up the history of century-old oak wine barrels while swirling and smelling 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 scenery in comfort and style in our fleet of 2018 Mercedes Sprinters.
