The accent is on leisure as you immerse yourself into the flavours and
sights of this vineyard paradise. We’ll take you to the little places
that are quietly making a big name for themselves with their dedication
to produce the best possible wine. Here you’ll get up close and personal
with the vineyard owners and wine makers. This tour is an unhurried amble through up to

With one of our friendly, knowledgeable guides accompanying you throughout the day, you'll really feel like a local as you get to try wine varieties that you wouldn't normally try, and from places that you've probably never heard of.

The wine...well it's world class, multi-award winning stuff. All the vineyards we visit are true craftsmen (and women), and take their wine making seriously.

Everything is hand picked, often naturally fermented and brought to market only when its ready.

You're in for a real treat.

Enjoy!!

Wanaka Wine Tours can meet you at your accommodation and take you on a fun and informative “mini-tour” of our local vineyards.

We have a number of different wineries available on any one day from
iconic wineries with breathtaking views, to boutique wineries not
generally open to the public where you will have an opportunity to speak
to the winemaker or vineyard owner, while tasting their wines.

The Taste of Wanaka Tour is great option for an apres-ski activity in
the winter or a pre-dinner activity if you only have a short time in
Wanaka.   As with all our wine tours, the Taste of Wanaka  is a
personalised experience with local guides and small groups.

Your guide can also advise you on the best places to eat while in Wanaka.
