We have an incredibly experienced, knowledgeable and friendly bunch of long-term local Driver Guides that know everything there is to know about wine and the Central Otago wine region! Be sure to ask them heaps of questions, they revel in sharing their facts, stories and information on history and the area with you.
Gary, originally from the UK, has spent the last 3 years in Queenstown and he has already decided that this is where he will retire. His knowledge of wine and spirits comes from a strong background in hospitality. Gary's passion for the region shines through on his tours, and his fun facts will ensure you learn something along the way!
Paul, a proud New Zealander has been guiding with us for over 10 years. His "everything wine" knowledge is absolutely second to none, his local history knowledge admirable and guiding experience, extensive. Paul's greatest passion, along with wine and food, is gold-prospecting and no doubt our lucky clients would have been treated to some wonderful stories over the years.
Martin has been wine guiding with us for over 7 years. Originally from Australia, he has a strong knowledge of Australian wines, however, New Zealand is well and truly his home now and his enthusiasm for Central Otago wines and the region would rival the most devout Queenstown local. Martin also has a strong background in creative design and is a talented photographer so brings a wonderful flair to the team.
Roberta, with her ability to "talk wine" fluently in English, Italian or Spanish, is an extremely valuable member of our team. Roberta is originally from Milan but has pursued her strong interest in wine over the past 4 years, ever since living on the doorstep to the southern-most wine region of the world. Roberta is available for Italian, Spanish or South American groups as a private wine guide also.

One of Queenstown’s most iconic experiences across Lake Wakatipu showcases some of the region’s spectacular alpine scenery while offering plenty of time to explore a piece of living history.

They can feel the heat of the giant steam engines at work and watch the stokers shovel coal into the glowing fireboxes.

“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.”
