Cruise and Wine Tour

Enjoy a leisurely 90 minute scenic cruise on the 111 year old, coal fired vintage steamship TSS Earnslaw from Queenstown waterfront to Walter Peak High Country Farm (without going ashore) and return.

Onboard, guests watch as they shovel coal to fuel the ship or visit a mini museum with a collection of historic photos. Be sure to have lunch onboard enjoying the café style food at the Promenade Café and Bar (lunch is at own expense and there is no opportunity to have lunch during the wine tour).

After disembarking the TSS Earnslaw, one of our friendly guides will greet you at the Steamer Wharf, ready to join a fun-filled afternoon of stunning sights and magnificent wines.

Spend the afternoon visiting three selected vineyards including a guided tour through New Zealand’s largest underground wine cave at Gibbston Valley winery. Sample an array of fine wines and varietals on offer and enjoy a shared cheeseboard which will accompany one of the wine tastings.
