Afternoon Wine Escape: from $500
For those who prefer a leisurely afternoon, this private wine tour is the perfect way to explore the best of Central Otago’s boutique wineries without the rush of a full-day itinerary.
You’ll be picked up directly from your accommodation between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, depending on your location and the day’s plan. From there, we’ll visit three handpicked boutique cellar doors, where you’ll enjoy an intimate, personalised wine-tasting experience.
Along the way, learn about the region’s history, winemaking techniques, and the unique characteristics that make Central Otago wines so exceptional. At one winery, a shared cheese platter accompanies your tasting, and special dietary options are available for vegans and those who are lactose-intolerant, so everyone can enjoy a delicious pairing.
Duration: Approximately 4–4.5 hours
Includes:
- Visiting 3 cellar doors;
- Tasting of up to 15 of the best of Central Otago wines in all the wineries visited;
- Shared cheese platter (served at the last stop);
- Return transfers from and to your accommodation;

It's important to note that this cheese platter is not a vegan option, as it includes dairy products made from cow's milk. If you follow a vegan diet and are unable to consume dairy products, this tour may not be a good fit for you.
