Why Do We Love This

We love the laid-back nature of this tour. Enjoying New Zealand's fantastic wine and food isn't something you want to rush, and the fact these guys really let you take your time is pretty cool. 

What to Expect

Experience the true flavour of Central Otago on this tour! Try local produce, sip New Zealand wines and enjoy the stunning scenery that surrounds you.

This tour is relaxing from beginning to end. Starting at 12.00 pm, you can really take your time exploring all the region has to offer.

Later, enjoy some free time and the chance to unwind. Grab yourself a winery lunch or sample a selection of local cheeses. Craft beer tasting is also available, or there is an opportunity to substitute wine tasting for beer.
