A great day exploring some of the local wineries - all different from each other and beautiful venues. Murray was a great local guide and driver! A really good experience if you have limited time in Queenstown. Highly recommend!

Had a very good day, with Phil being a tremendous host. Very low key and fulfilling tour. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5-star review was the tour of the Gibson Valley Winery cave. It felt like the tour guide had likely done one too many tours recently, and he didn't have enough energy left to be enthusiastic about ours. With a different guide this it would have been an easy 5-stars.
