Taste Central Otago wine and cuisine on a small-group tour of the region’s boutique vineyards. Group size is limited to 12 wine lovers to ensure personal service as you sip your way through four Central Otago wineries, pausing for a gourmet lunch in a vineyard. Visiting smaller vintners helps you get a feel for what makes Central Otago wines distinctive, from chardonnay to pinot gris and riesling.
Designed as a premium small-group experience, it showcases the very best of the Central Otago wine region. This tour offers the perfect introduction to the region’s award-winning wines, rich history, stunning landscapes, and local cuisine.
This all-inclusive boutique wine tour includes visits to four premium boutique vineyards across three contrasting wine sub-regions - Gibbston Valley, Cromwell and the Bannockburn basin. All tastings are prebooked and fully hosted. Each stop highlights the unique character of Central Otago, including its world-renowned Pinot Noir.
Sit down and savour a delicious platter-style lunch at Carrick Winery & Restaurant (or a similar premium venue). Featuring locally sourced produce, lunch will be accompanied by a flight of four estate wines. This is a standout experience and a true taste of Central Otago’s food and wine culture.
