This classic Wanaka wine tour will give you a real sense of why this region is well known for its delicious, intense, hand-crafted wines. This tour is an unhurried amble through up to six of the region's finest vineyards, pausing only to admire the ever-present views.

As a part of the Central Otago wine region, Wanaka is known best for its excellent cool climate Pinot Noir. However, it also produces superb Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. Some of the best-known local wineries include Rippon, Wooing Tree, Aitken's Folly Vineyard, Chard Farm, and Wild Earth Wines Ltd.

You'll get picked up from your local Wanaka accommodation at 11:00 am, giving you plenty of time for a sleep-in or lazy breakfast before the tour. The accent is on leisure as you immerse yourself into the flavours and sights of this vineyard paradise. 

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

There are several different wineries in the area, which vary from iconic wineries with breathtaking views to boutique wineries not generally open to the public. You'll enjoy tastings at each stop and might be lucky enough to have an opportunity to speak to the winemaker or vineyard owner while tasting their wines. All the vineyards you'll visit are run by true craftspeople who take their wine-making seriously.

In addition to trying wines, you'll have the chance to savour the unique atmosphere of the arts, crafts and history of Old Cromwell Town and indulge in an award-winning gourmet platter lunch made from local fresh produce.
