Winery Transfers – Daytime or Evening

Most vineyards in Central Otago open at 10am with the majority closing at 5pm. There are still a few hidden gems open after this time offering both fine dining and relaxed dining options.

If you would like to visit a particular vineyard, or have a busy schedule and would like to combine a few activities, sights and vineyards with the limited time you have, we can help. Get in touch to discuss your preferences and timings and we can custom create the perfect itinerary for you.

We are also happy to make reservations for meals or wine tasting appointments on your behalf.

Our vehicle fleet ranges from luxury BMW Sedans, Mercedes-Benz Vianos and Toyota Alphards, through 11-19 seater Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minivans. We also have access to range of larger fleet so no group size is too big for us to handle.

A few of our most requested transfers are:

Located on the outskirts of Queenstown, it takes approximately 15-20 minutes from Queenstown CBD. Amisfield offer fine dining lunch and dinner options. Home to 2019 Chef of the Year Vaughan Mabee, enjoy a range of 3 – 7 course food with wine pairing to match. Reservations are required and recommended to be made at least one month in advance.

The renowned Mt Difficulty is located on Felton Road  in Bannockburn, which is approximately a 50 minute drive from Queenstown CBD. They have a cellar door and stunning winery restaurant with 180 degree views that make you feel like you never want to leave.

  • Winery + Arrowtown Transfers

Historic Arrowtown is a must-see stop on any visit to Queenstown. There are historic sights such as the Chinese settlement, and many easy walking tracks along the Shotover river where you will find many people walking, gold-panning and having picnics.

The picturesque main street will keep you occupied for hours with lots of little hand-made or locally crafted art, jewellery and clothing which make great take-home gifts or momentos.

On your visit to Arrowtown, swing into the The Winery where you can taste award-winning wines from around New Zealand, or book a table at the beautiful Akarua Wines & Kitchens where our Driver Guide can wait for you to have lunch then drive you back to your accommodation.

  • “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.”
