Wonderful sport to sip and shop your favorite local and Australian wines. Purchase by the oz, 2 oz or 6 oz options of Reds , whites, blends and bubbles! read more

I came here for the whiskey and man, was it worth it. The card driven tastings were very appealing and so easy to manage. The whiskey selection here, although small, was of great quality. The wine selection is massive though, and they have good food selection to pair with your libation. Highly recommend stopping here for a few hours to drink. read more

Great for tastings and a light bite. Try as many wines or whiskeys as you like along with a cheese or charcuterie plate. Good service and some fabulous wines read more

They have a great selection of wine, some scotch, and some whiskey. The samples are self serve, so you just need to stick your card into a machine and pour your drink. For a light weight like me, a system like this really nice so I can grab a few tasters without breaking the bank. Also a chill place to just hangout, talk, and play some board games. Seating is limited though. read more

A pleasant spot to hang out, taste wine and have some cheese. How it works: the great thing about places like this one is that for a reasonable price you can have just a taste of a large variety of wines across all price points. -go to front counter, give them a credit card and get a wine card -they will also give you a glass-TIP: don't take the crummy little tasting glass, if for example you want to taste Pinot, ask for a pinot noir glass (it truly makes a difference) -you may also want to order the very reasonably price cheese trays-the deluxe is NZ$38 and could feed 4. -the wines are set up all around the large store in sections: Chardonnay, Pinot noir, etc. -stick in you card and buy a taste, a half glass or a full glass-I mostly do tastes and half glasses -sit outside or in one of their comfy chairs-relax -swirl, sip, repeat -you can try as many wines as you pallet (and budget) allow. Many of the tastes are just a few dollars although they have at least one NZ$1,000 bottle-ataste of that gem was $35-but hey you'd probably never by a bottle so this is a chance to live a little! A great way to experiment with wine and spend time with friends and family. read more

Awesome spot to go and try tons of wine. Pay by the ounce and pour your own wines which is super fun! Grab a cheese and charcuterie plate and just go to town! Loved this spot for a great afternoon snack or post dinner treat! read more

Great place to sample New Zealand wines, champagne, and whisky. You get a card a cup and can taste as much as you want (the card keeps your tab). Check in for 20% off your tasting if you buy a bottle. We had already eaten, but opted for a cheese plate of really tasty New Zealand cheeses (the double blue is killer). Drink up! read more

I have fond memories of my wife asking me 36 questions while I was here. There was some conclusive study that these 36 questions, if asked on a first date, were conducive to leading the two people to fall in love. Google it. You'll see what I'm talking about. It's a real thing. We were already married so I was like this is pointless, but we were drinking so it seemed to make sense, kind of, maybe, at least to one of us, not me, but who's counting, other than me, I'm always counting. So we did it. And then we fell in love again. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE read more

A Wine lover's dream! You get to try over 80 wines using a little Key card. 1/4, 1/2 or full glasses with full disclosure on pricing. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection, sufficient detail on each wine, nice kiwi gift section and a fabulous patio. Must visit. read more

Cute place to go to on a rainy day, the only thing missing is a nice fireplace. The way it works: Get a card from any of the workers and drink anything of your liking. The card will keep track of your balance. Each tasting does have 3 different tasting sizes with corresponding pricing. It's great because once you find one you love you can go for a glass of it. It was also nice to not have to pay for for example 5 tastings and feel like you had to do all 5, you can even just do one. Convenient and easy to navigate. I would definitely come back for more. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! If you're a wine lover and in Queenstown, don't skip this place. We were immediately greeted by a friendly staff member who explained how the tastings worked. You receive a card and get to go around and pour whatever you want. Yup, you read that correctly, WHATEVER YOU WANT. My jaw dropped when I saw all of the wine on tap. You can pour yourself a taste, a half glass, or a full glass. If you're feeling hardcore, you can also pour your own whiskey. Whiskey makes me angry or I wander, so I skipped out on that. If you're short on time and unable to make it out to an actual winery, this is a perfect alternative. Warning: having control over your own pour is fun, but keep an eye on what you're pouring since prices vary and the cost can really rack up. Especially if you decided to order a cheese plate to go with your wine, which you should do because New Zealand cheese is bomb! read more

Loved the Winery!! Such a great concept - taste as many wines as you like and the size of tasting you wish. All of their wines come in a tasting size, a half glass, or a full glass. Most are very reasonably priced ($3 for a tasting) - but be careful there are tasting sized portions of some of the higher end wines for $8 ($20+ for a full glass). You could spend hours here. Seating was very comfortable and staff was friendly. I don't know why this kind of place doesn't exist elsewhere! I do wish they would give you more than 1 glass, after about my 3rd tasting I could have used a fresh glass. But now I'm just being picky... Highly recommended. read more

Awesome concept! Great feel about the place very homely, wide variety of wines and whiskeys of all prices you have even rate test a $1000 bottle! Cheese boards available starting from $14 Staff are very informative and helpful, I'm very glad I stumbled past the winery! read more

Love the concept of this wine tasting bar where you have a credit card to charge by the taste, half glass or full glass. They offer a large quantity of mostly New Zealand wines with multiple varietals. The atmosphere is relaxed with great music to accompany your wine tasting experience and knowledgeable staff to guide your choices. read more

Great concept and lovely atmosphere , Easy to spend a lot of money so watch out ! The only downfall was the rude gentleman who worked here. I find it offensive when employees/owners can't look up from a computer screen to talk to customers. We probably would have bought from these guys had this fellow been more attentive read more

Was looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy a light meal with some good wine. Happy we chose this place. We chose to order a meat and cheese platter, and loaded up our sampling card to take a world tour of wine and whiskey. Actually ended up being very educational on the whiskey side, as we had taken an interest in the NZ single malts, and this place allowed us to sample a few before purchasing. The staff was very informative and clearly took pride in their knowledge of wine. read more

Went here twice in three days. They have a great thing going here. You can try up to 80 wines from all over or just settle for an amazing buttered rum or beer. Friendly staff as well! read more

So fun! Get a card, get a glass and taste all the wine! Ok maybe not ALL the wine as I think you might die, but taste lots of wine. My fiancé and I tried a bunch of wine (small pours) and ended up buying a bottle to go! This place is great. If you aren't sure you like wine, this is the place to try it. You can try small pours for $2 and even go up to insanely expensive pours of $35! The $35 taste is obviously from a bottle over $1,000....but if you've always wanted to try a super expensive wine but can't shell out the cash for a bottle, this is the way to go! read more

Loved being able to try lots of different wines at our leisure, complemented with the salami plate. It was great to pick and choose which wines we wanted to try without having to drive all over the place. Loved being able choose what wines we wanted and how much of each. Definitely a must do in Queenstown! read more

What a great idea! We also got the Classic Cheese Board to go with all our wine tasting! The only negative was that we couldn't sit outside past 10 pm because of rules... This place was so good we went TWICE! read more

Unethical Business. I visited in January, purchased $1,335 of wine for them to ship back to the U.S. They shipped during the coldest month of the year in Chicago and the wines were ruined. I tried contacting them to resolve on 3 occasions but haven't heard from them in 8 weeks. I paid full insurance and haven't received dollar one! read more

Loved this place, great atmosphere, comfortable seats, and great cheese plates. You get a card with a chip at the register and then taste as you like from all the automatic wine dispensing stations that pour a taste, half and full glasses at all the corresponding prices. Great way to tasting a lot of wines at your leisure in one place. They even have tastings of 1000 NZD bottles. Would definitely come back read more

I was recommended to see Larry and he definitely knows his NZ wines. He was so helpful and outstanding customer service. It's a cute little intimate wine bar with large selections to choose from so I'm sure any wine lover can find a few wines . Thank you Larry for helping me choose some great wines oh and for you tourists like myself they do ship to NZ, AUS & USA perhaps more places but those main ones that I noticed on his board so check this place out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went for the whiskey tasting last night. Sampled some of the classic single malt scotches as well as some NZ whiskeys. Service was excellent with one staff member answering our questions for at least 30 minutes. The 20% yelp discount didn't hurt either. Will be doing it all again for the wine tasting read more

My girlfriend and I go here about once every 6 months. Money well spent. We usually get a cheese board and will try about 6 different wines. Our favourite seems to be the two paddocks Pinot noir but love trying the other varieties read more

Love this place. Could spend all afternoon. Wait I think I did! Incredibly helpful staff and great selection of wine and whiskey! Would suggest a smaller salami and cheese tray. Only had large if you wanted both. Also would suggest wifi. Would highly recommend to pick up the local wine tastings you couldn't get to read more

I went in to find a couple of bottles to send home to the States, and Gwen quickly assessed my love for Pinot's (and price range) and suggested tastes of numerous wines. She gauged me perfectly, not pushy, and even provided me print outs of menus of local restaurants for dinner. Great service, and very nice cozy atmosphere. I only wish I had more time to spend in this lovely establishment! read more

Amazing place with lots of different wines to taste. Wish I could find one of them every time I travel to a winery region!

Great Wine Tasting Bar. The concept of hanging around and discovering the wines by yourself ist great. Just walk a little bit around read something about the different kinds of wine and try from the self catering with your Wine card.The highly qualified staff supports you whenever you want. If you like wine and you are visting Queenstwon try it! read more
