    A Must Do especially for Pinot fans

    Apparently this is he birthplace of the central otago pinot revolution! Brilliant wine tour and tasting in the only wine cave in NZ. Wines are excellent and Duncan the resident wine guru really knows his stuff.

    Stunning at sunset.

    Sebastian from Normandy was a great host and a stellar bloke. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and those glaases of magical liquefied grapes. A must-do in Queenstown.
