Overview

Experience Queenstown’s finest wineries, breweries, and wonders in luxury, with Queenstown’s original Hop on Hop off wine tour company. This tour uses a similar formula to the regular tour but with some added twists!

Once you leave the Gibbston Valley (12:15pm) you can choose 1 from the 3 options:

1a) First, enjoy the tranquillity of Nockies Pallette where you will savour a complimentary tasting and cheese platter. Explore their beautifully manicured gardens and historic church.

Your other option is to head up the Crown Range (Mountain Road with great photo opportunities) where you have the choice of visiting either the gorgeous Cardrona Hotel or Cardrona Distillery.

1b) At the distillery, enjoy a complimentary G&T on arrival then experience a 75-minute tour with a tutored tasting with your guide.
1c) Alternatively, relax at the famous Cardrona Hotel with its rustic charm and traditional pub food and enjoy a glass of wine or beer on us. The choice is yours…
