Wine tasting in NZ is better with someone else driving. Visit the vineyards of Waiheke Island and Queenstown's Gibbston Valley, or head to Martinborough, Marlborough and Hawke's Bay, with tastings, lunch and a guide who knows the cellar doors. Book one for yourself, or give it as a gift with the date left to them.
Wine tasting is better when someone else is driving. These tours cover Waiheke Island and Queenstown's Gibbston Valley, the Wairarapa and Marlborough, and Hawke's Bay, with tastings, platters or lunch, and a guide who knows the cellar doors. Here's where to find them, region by region.
Waiheke is a short ferry ride from Auckland, and it's known as New Zealand's island of wine. The winery tour with tastings includes lunch and a glass of wine at a local favourite, and the scenic wine tour visits three vineyards in five hours. For two, the winery tour and lunch for 2 adds an olive grove, a distillery and a family style lunch. The private winery tour keeps it to your group, but the ferry isn't included.
For a shorter trip, the Man O' War vineyard and ferry package includes a 90 minute cruise through the Hauraki Gulf. Prefer beer or spirits? The one hour brewery and distillery tour and the 30 minute guided spirits tasting both run on the island. See Waiheke Island and things to do in Auckland.
Gibbston Valley is Queenstown's wine region, known for cool-climate Pinot Noir. For a half day, the wine and food tour visits three wineries with a paired lunch, Queenstown's original wine tour adds New Zealand's largest underground wine cave, and the classic Gibbston Valley tour includes a cheeseboard. For more tastings, the Gibbston wine sampler covers four cellar doors in six hours, and the full day gourmet wine tour has a platter lunch with matched wine.
Want more than wine? The wine tour and TSS Earnslaw cruise pairs a century-old steamship with three wineries, the ziplining and wine tour combo has four forest ziplines in the morning, and the boutique wine tour with jet boating starts with an hour on the Kawarau. Or ride between cellar doors on the self guided bike tour, visiting up to six wineries.
In the afternoon, the twilight wine and craft beer tour and the wine, beer and gin tour both include 12 or more tastings, and for sightseeing, the sightseeing tour with wine tasting and the highlights tour both stop for tastings or coffee. In Wānaka, the wine and Māori culture tour includes return transfers and platters. See things to do in Queenstown, Wānaka and Central Otago.
From Wellington, the drive over the Remutaka Ranges is part of the trip. The Martinborough winery guided tour visits three wineries in five hours, the foodie tour adds a cheese platter and an artisan chocolate tasting, and the full day tour is for a minimum of two people. The Taste Buds tour visits five producers with lunch at a vineyard restaurant, and the wine and wild coast tour adds a seal colony and the Cape Palliser Lighthouse. See the Wairarapa and Wellington.
Marlborough is New Zealand's best known wine region. The full day Marlborough wine tour visits six or seven wineries from Picton or Blenheim, with expert winemakers on hand. In Hawke's Bay, the half day private food and wine tour for 2 picks you up from Napier, Hastings or Havelock North. See Marlborough and Hawke's Bay.
