An Afternoon of Sips, Spirits & Scenery

Indulge in a vibrant tasting journey through Central Otago, blending the best of wine, gin, and craft beer in a relaxed, boutique setting. This is the perfect way to sample the region’s most exciting flavours in one unforgettable afternoon.

Amisfield – Begin at Amisfield, one of New Zealand’s most celebrated wineries and ranked among the World’s Top 100 Restaurants (2024). Enjoy a premium tasting of their single-estate Pinot Noir and expressive whites, framed by dramatic alpine views.

Rifters Gin – Next, step into historic Arrowtown for a handcrafted gin tasting at Rifters, recently crowned World’s Best Gin at the World Drinks Awards. Guided by their expert team, discover the artistry of small-batch distilling while sipping award-winning spirits in a setting as charming as the gin itself.

Canyon Brewing – End your afternoon on the banks of the Shotover River at Canyon Brewing. With spectacular views and a relaxed atmosphere, choose between a craft beer flight brewed on-site or a locally inspired wine tasting. It’s the perfect finale to your flavour-filled journey.

Travel in comfort aboard a luxury Mercedes Sprinter, guided by a local host who brings the stories of Central Otago to life. This 3.5-hour experience is perfect for curious sippers, celebration seekers, or anyone wanting to taste the best of Queenstown beyond wine alone.
