The Ultimate Luxury Hop on Hop off Wine Tour

Hop on Hop off Wine Tours has launched the Ultimate Luxury Wine, Beer, Food & Wonders tour in Queenstown. Cruise around in a stylish 10-seater 2022 Mercedes S-class (Sprinter). We visit more wineries and breweries than any other company in Queenstown. We offer you a wide selection of venues, from wineries to breweries, and adventure activities, within the Gibbston Valley, Cardrona, and Arthurs Point. This luxury tour is designed to ensure you and your group have a full tasting experience without running into the crowds.

Starting in the Gibbston Valley, the luxury van will move from stage to stage, giving you fresh venues to choose from as you move through the day. Come midday, you will have 2 options. Head up over the Crown Range to the gorgeous Cardrona hotel and Cardrona distillery, where you can enjoy a complimentary tour of the distillery and see where their malt is milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, and matured before embarking on a tutored tasting with your guide or relaxing at the famous Cardrona Hotel. Alternatively, rather than visiting Cardona, choose to enjoy the tranquility of Nockies Pallette, where you can savour a complimentary tasting and a cheese platter. The choice is yours...

After the midday stop, the tour will carry on into Arrowtown, then onto Arthur's Point, hitting more of our Hop on Hop off favourites along the way.

No matter how familiar you are with the region and wineries, we will work together to come up with the perfect plan for your day. You will be provided with a full itinerary and all your stops pre-booked, so there are no surprises or disappointments. Book now and experience Queenstown’s wineries and breweries in a luxurious, relaxing, and stress-free way.

Once the tour leaves the Gibbston Valley (approx 12:15 pm), you can choose 1 of the 3 options:

1a) Firstly, to enjoy the tranquillity of Nockies Pallette, where you will savour a complimentary tasting and cheese platter. Explore their beautifully manicured gardens and historic church, used in the TV series, “Under The Vines”.

Your other option is to head up the Crown Range (Mountain road with great photo opportunities), where you have the choice of visiting either the gorgeous Cardrona hotel or Cardrona distillery. 

1b) At the distillery, enjoy a complimentary G&T on arrival, then experience a 75-minute tour to see where their malt is milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, and matured, alongside a tutored tasting with your guide. 

1c) Alternatively, relax at the famous Cardrona Hotel with its rustic charm and traditional pub food, and enjoy a glass of wine or beer on us. The choice is yours...
