Private Central Otago Wine Tour – Curated Full-Day Experience
A Tailored Journey for Two
Discover Central Otago on an exclusive private wine tour designed for couples, close friends, or anyone wanting a bespoke escape into New Zealand’s most celebrated wine region. Hosted by your personal local guide, this full-day experience blends premium tastings, boutique hospitality, and unforgettable scenery across two iconic sub-regions — Bannockburn/Cromwell and Gibbston.
Your Curated Itinerary
Kinross (Gibbston Valley) – Begin with an exclusive private tasting of rare library vintages, showcasing boutique legends Valli, Hawkshead, Wild Irishman, and High Garden. A premium experience not available to standard visitors.
Te Kano Estate (Bannockburn) – Striking modern architecture and panoramic vineyard views frame expressive Bannockburn Pinot Noir and cool-climate whites.
Carrick Winery or Mt Difficulty (Bannockburn) – Choose between Carrick, with its organic wines and lakefront setting, or Mt Difficulty, perched high above the Cromwell Basin. Both offer a hosted tasting and time for a relaxed lunch (at your own expense) with spectacular river and vineyard views.
Amisfield (Lake Hayes) – Conclude your journey at Amisfield, one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wineries and ranked among the World’s Top 100 Restaurants (2024). Enjoy a premium guided tasting of their acclaimed single-estate wines framed by dramatic alpine scenery.
