Queenstown Vineyard Getaways

Queenstown Vineyard Accommodation

Are you looking for an idyllic retreat, away from the overwhelming drive of the city? Do you find yourself drawn to the relaxing allure of New Zealand’s wine country? Then Queenstown’s vineyard is the place for you. 

Set along the breathtaking Southern Alps and the South Island’s Lake Wakatipu’s shore, Queenstown has continued to grow in popularity as a travel destination. Indeed, the number of overseas visitors increased by 22 per cent in August 2019. 

While sightseeing and adventuring are fantastic activities involving New Zealand’s unmatched natural beauty, a tour of one of its renowned wineries serves as a more relaxed option. 

If you take part in an educational wine tour, you can learn about Queenstown’s rich history while sipping on a delightful merlot or crisp pinot noir. You can learn firsthand about some pioneers of New Zealand’s wine industry and complete your experience with a fantastic meal at one of the many cafés, which you can find on the property of said wineries.
