A great balance of time and taste. - We have just had the most amazing experience with Do doing the twilight gin and wine tour. Do's excellent local knowledge combined with the sophisticated pallets of the sumilians made it a well worthy experience. The only issue is the cost of us getting all this amazing locally produced goodness back to Australia lol.

Outstanding Gin Tour Queensland NZ - I have spent 3 weeks in NZ and can say this was one of the highlights. Ana was our driver (amazing on the Crown twist & turns!), friendly and fun. We had her first all women tour just by coincidence and we all were friendly and fun folks. I loved all the locations and near Cardona we saw Bradona- a once in a lifetime experience 😊 I bought a bottle of The Source gin at Cardona where we learned from our expert (name starts with an E) on how whisky (not whiskey!), vodka and gin are made. At Broken Heart I bought a bottle made with Quince fruit- a new experience and delicious! If you’d like to explore gin with various botanicals this is the right tour plus a beautiful scenic drive.

Spectacular scenery, spirits & snacks - Cardrona Distillery tour was very interesting and a good start to the tour. The views on the drive up were spectacular. The tasting at The Winery in Arrowtown included a delicious platter which was very welcome. The tasting at Broken Heart Gin Garden was my favourite & I enjoyed the variety of their spirits and the Tart was delicious. Ana was our Guide/Driver and she was great, very informative & entertaining.

A great afternoon enjoying gin in spectacular scenery! - This was a Saturday afternoon well spent! GT is a really knowledgeable tour guide, and it was great to stop at some of the amazing lookouts along the way for photos. The gin factory tour at Cardrona was really informative - the best I’ve been on. The tastings and platters were really good. Tour definitely takes 6 hours.
