Full description
Climb aboard the Wine Hopper bus for a wine adventure at your own pace hopping on and off at wineries in the Queenstown and Gibbston Valley wine region. Departing daily from central Queenstown, a friendly onboard host will help you get the most out of your day. Enjoy a 20-minute scenic drive out to the wine region showcasing the very best of Queenstown's countryside amongst picturesque surroundings. Grab a timetable that will outline the shuttle service stopping hourly at nine venues. Discover one, two or all nine venues - each with their own unique offerings and charm. Reveal an array of winery restaurants and tasting rooms where you can stop for lunch or take a tasting before moving on. Taste award-winning wines at cellar doors, learn all about winemaking by taking an underground wine cave tour, enjoy a leisurely winery lunch, or savor a complimentary cheese tasting at Gibbston Valley Cheesery nestled amongst the vines. You’ll have plenty of time to sip and dine or try a brew at the local tavern. Walk or hire a bike to wander along the Kawarau River as you soak in the stunning views - river on one side and vines on the other. The Wine Hopper Bus runs an hourly circuit 6 times a day around nine wineries and other attractions in Gibbston Valley area. The bus travels in and out of Queenstown every two hours throughout the day. Return to Queenstown when you are ready, arriving at 1:00 pm, 3:00 pm, 5:00 pm or 6:00 pm.

Andrew was fabulous. We had a fun hen party group with us the day my husband and I went to the wineries. I had booked several wineries as well. I don’t know how Andrew worked his magic but he was able to get everyone to the wineries they wanted to see and even took us to another lovely winery. By the time I finished my wine he was right there to take us to the next one. For those winery lovers I would go to Peregrine , and Kinross. We had a lovely pizza at Kinross. I would skip Mt. Rosa. They were very friendly but I didn’t care for any of their wines.

An amazing experience! Andrew and Andy were very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides and allowed each group to go at their own pace. The vineyards were beautiful and unique - quality wines and the tasting fees were very minimal. This is a easy and cost effective way to get around for a relaxing wine tasting day. Would recommend this tour!
