Beautiful Queenstown

The wondrous Wakatipu Basin, which incorporates Queenstown, was created by glacial movement some 15,000 years ago. Evidence of Maori presence has been found dating back around 700 years, though the area was apparently not settled by Maori; rather, it was used by Maori as a summer hunting ground for the huge, flightless (now extinct) moa bird and the treasured pounamu, or greenstone, which was found there.

  • “We went on two tours over a few months, one with Martin & the other with Paul. What absolutely fantastic guides, both so extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to spend the day with. Was great to go to different vineyards on each tour and taste some extremely amazing wines, certainly makes you appreciate the talent that we have in NZ wine makers.”
