Queenstown's Gin & Spirits Tasting Tour

Queenstown's Gin & Spirits Tasting Tour

We've finely curated a gin-tasting experience that includes a mix of tastings, scenery, fun, and education.

Start your day by meeting your friendly guide at or near your Queenstown accommodation. From here, we will explore Cardrona, Arrowtown, and Queenstown, showcasing a talented range of distillers who use our unique environment to produce some of the smoothest and top award-winning spirits in New Zealand and around the world

Throughout the afternoon, you'll enjoy three separate gin and spirit tasting experiences, with each location offering something special, including a distillery tour at the famous Cardrona Distillery. Enjoy a gin and tonic upon arrival, shared platters at two of the locations, and be hosted by an Altitude Tours guide and the tasting room staff, all of whom will educate and entertain you with distilling facts and stories.
