Relaxing tasting afternoon - We had a lovely tour yesterday with Emma in her super comfortable van. It was great to have a mix of beer, gin and wine and the venues were awesome on a lovely April afternoon. Emma was a super tour guide and the people at each venue were welcoming and very knowledgeable!

Best tour in Queenstown! - This was the highlight of our trip to Queenstown! Emma, our host, was so accommodating. Communication was great from booking, amending the date, and adding a person. Se took such wonderful care of all of us, but my grandmother especially which my family greatly appreciated. The brewery was nice, with a spectacular view and very generous pouts. The Broken Hearts gin garden was definitely a crowd favorite, with lots if spirits on offer and extremely knowledgeable staff. Katherine was our host and she took such good care of us, her mixer recommendations were spot on! There wasn't an option anyone disliked, which is saying a lot for out group! We went to the Ayrburn winery, which despite being very new had great atmosphere with a lot of history and pizzazz. Ruth was our host and she was so informative and engaging. 100% would recommend to everyone we meet!

Perfect Queenstown Afternoon - Our family had a fantastic time with Emma on this wine, gin, and beer tour in Queenstown. For those groups with different drink preferences, this tour allowed everyone to be happy. Also, seeing the beautiful areas outside of Queenstown in a comfy sprinter van was a treat. Emma ensured that we had knowledgeable guides at each stop, helping us make great choices. To top it off, we had a delicious and filling cheese board that paired so well. With an early afternoon schedule, we were back in town in time for dinner. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Queenstown.

We enjoyed the tour, Emma... - We enjoyed the tour, Emma was knowledgeable and a lovely guide, venues were great, although the last venue, the winery was a bit rushed. The 3pm start was great, giving us almost a full day to do other things. A complementary cheese platter or tapas at the end would have been a nice touch.
