Such a fantastic afternoon, a great tour! - We did this winehopper tour with friends and visited three places. We visited Ayrburn for a tasting and also mt rosa and then we had lunch at kinross. We tasted so many beautiful wines, in the afternoon, and three places was enough for us. The food at Kinross was amazing, so good. We loved the sunshine and sitting outside at Mt Rosa and the dog there. So cute. Our favourite was T, he was a great guide who helped us with our tour and we just text him when we ready to go to the next place, it was a really good service and we highly recommend this, a very chill vibe to enjoy the wines. We got back into Queenstown about 6.30pm it was a very fun afternoon

Sun, friends & wine - Such a fabulous day, the suggested wineries were perfect, all quite different wines and environments - which was great. Our driver T was great, flexible with pickups and drop offs and very knowledgeable and personable. The Wine Hopper bus was a very professional company, one that I look forward to using again and can happily recommend.

Biking, beautiful scenery, and wine - what's not to love? - What a fabulous day! We opted for the e-bike self-guided tour from Arrowtown into the Gibbston Valley to earn our indulgence in the vineyards. It was a lot of fun and an easy ride through some stunning scenery. Andrew picked us up in Queenstown, introduced us to the e-bike suppliers, then met us in the valley to start our wine tour. He was very easy to chat with, had tonnes of local knowledge and advice, and was completely flexible with dropping off and picking up whenever and wherever we wanted. Thanks for a great day Andrew.

Best Wine Tour in Queenstown - We had the best time ever. Totally flexible, our guide picked us up and dropped us off at different wineries whenever we wanted. Awesome advice on which ones to visit, based on our preferences. We teemed it with the Bike and Wine Hopper bus so that we could ride out to the vineyards from Arrowtown. I'd recommend this to anyone. Great fine and super easy!

Bike & Wine Tour - a great day trip from QT - Really good day out. My girlfriend and I opted for the bike & wine tour, which meant a 2 hour ride through lovely terrain at the start of our trip (incidentally, I’m not a regular cyclist but my girlfriend is, and she said the ride was a bit tougher and more hilly than advertised, so keep that in mind if you’re booking this tour!) We had a few questions about the wineries to make sure we got the most out of our tour, and Andrew was very friendly and accommodating both on the phone and in person. He explained that there’s no timetable - all the wineries are close enough together in the Gibbston Valley that he could come and drive us from one to the next at a few minute’ notice. We were picked up from central Queenstown and visited three wineries in addition to our bike ride, and that was taking it at a leisurely pace. One or two more would’ve been doable if we’d wanted. We tried some nice wines, had some nice food, saw some nice scenery, and met some nice people from around the world on the tour - a very satisfying day.

Best Wine Hopper experience ever. - Joining Ed's Wine Hopper Bus on the 17th was an fantastic experience. Ed is extremely knowledgable about all things wine in the region and made awesome recommendations. This was the first wine hopper experience I've ever had, and I loved the options it offers. At the end of the day, Ed was generous in his karaoke skills.

Fun day in The Gibbston Valley - A real fun day in the Gibbston Valley. My wife and I preselected our vineyards and our great host Angus drove us to the wineries we selected, plus a few others. Angus know his wine and the wineries and really kept things moving. We only had two appointments and didn’t think we’d be able to get to other wineries but Angus got us three others! Considering this is a drop off tour and people are going to different wineries Angus did an amazing job of shuttling people around and we had very little wait time between tastings. Highly recommended!
