Your Queenstown wine day can be as grand as the scenery that surrounds it. Picture this: you start the day with the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu glittering in the morning light, then spend afternoon among vineyard rows with distant snow-capped peaks overhead. Our on-demand audio tour makes this dream a reality. It guides you through the best of both worlds – world-class wineries and postcard-perfect mountain vistas – without any fixed schedule.
Imagine sipping a crisp Central Otago Sauvignon Blanc on a sunny patio at a Gibbston winery. As you do, the audio guide explains how this valley’s unique climate gives each wine its character. Afterwards, jump back in the car or saddle up on your bike and ride a few minutes to a nearby lookout point. There, enjoy sweeping views of pine forests and rivers carved into rock. The app might even have a fun fact to share about the geology you see – seamlessly blending nature’s story with your wine story. Then continue on to the next vineyard.
Throughout the day, flexibility is king. Want to linger longer for a sunset shot from the Skyline gondola before heading to a hillside winery for dinner? You can. If an impromptu band or festival is happening downtown, swing by on the way home and pick up a local craft beer to taste. The audio tour lets you veer off the beaten path as long as you like. Despite this freedom, you’re never without guidance – the GPS-linked audio will resume telling you which wine to try next or how far you have to cycle.
As Queenstown locals will tell you, the region’s beauty isn’t confined to the vineyards. On this day trip, your wine tastings are punctuated by unforgettable vistas: the winding lake at Glenorchy; Arrowtown’s golden autumn glow; the rugged Nevis Bluff. And while you enjoy these sights, your personal guide on the app continues to add flavor – describing the history of each wine trail you cross, or pointing out mountain peaks named in Māori legend. In short, this is more than a wine tour: it’s a holistic audio experience of Queenstown’s natural and cultural landscape.
If you’ve only got one day, make it count. Book your audio-guided wine tour and prepare for a journey “from vineyards to vistas” that you control from start to finish. Savour every sip, capture every view, and enjoy the stories along the way, all at your own pace with Taste Wine Guidestastewineguides.com.
