Self-guided, at your own pace

This is a self-guided tour: you pay for your own tastings and lunch, choose your pick-up stop, and simply follow the simple bus timetable, hopping off wherever you like for as long as you like before catching the next bus. Full day tours start at 10:30am and 11:20am and run approximately 6-7 hours; a half-day afternoon tour starts at 12:10pm and runs 4-5 hours.

Around 25 stops to choose from

The route links up wineries including Gibbston Valley Winery, Kinross Cellar Door & Bistro, Mt Rosa Wines, Waitiri Creek, Brennan Wines and Amisfield Bistro & Cellar Door, alongside breweries and bars like Canyon Food & Brew Co., Altitude Brewing and the Gibbston Tavern, plus a stop in the historic gold mining town of Arrowtown for shopping and dining. Several stops — including Shotover Jet, Strike Bowl and various cellar doors — require bookings in advance, and pre-booking lunch and tastings is recommended.

Good to know before you go

A $10 fuel fee applies due to rising fuel costs. Groups of 8 or more are welcome but should call ahead so the operator can plan for numbers on the bus, and larger groups are encouraged to pre-book all stops to avoid disappointment. Backpacks, luggage, wheelchairs and large prams cannot be accommodated on board.
