Queenstown is arguably one of the best places in New Zealand for foodies. The town boasts excellent restaurants for every budget.

The nearby Gibbston Valley is most famous for its Pinot Noir. The grape thrives in Central Otago’s unique climate where it’s scorching in Summer and freezing in Winter. There’s usually just enough rain to tend to the vines but the area stays mostly dry with a lot of sun. 

These are just a few of the interesting facts you’ll learn on the wine tour with Queenstown Wine Trail. On this intimate tour, you’ll hear a lot more about how Gibbston even became a wine area and how to swoosh and swirl the wine properly before tasting.

You’ll visit three wineries and get to taste 15+ different wines. A tour of the Gibbston Valley Wine Cave is included, too, and you’ll have plenty of time to taste other local delicacies. 

Aluume Hot Pools – Queenstown’s newest hot pools

In the heart of Queenstown, just steps from the Skyline Gondola and Queenstown Park Hotel, Aluume Hot Pools offer the ultimate way to unwind. At the newly opened pools (October 2025), you’ll have your own private pool for a full hour, giving you plenty of time to relax in total peace. Each pool is thoughtfully designed to provide a tranquil escape. It’s the perfect way to soak tired muscles after a day of exploring, or to enjoy a romantic, restorative moment with someone special. Up to 4 people can share a soaking tub together, which also makes for a great girls getaway!

Your Queenstown accommodation

Queenstown Park Hotel is a 5* boutique retreat that blends modern comfort with warm hospitality. Its central yet peaceful location steps from the Skyline Gondola makes it an ideal base for exploring all that the Adventure Capital of New Zealand has to offer, while still offering a sense of calm when you return from a day of activities.

The Gondola rooms are a favourite for couples or friends seeking both comfort and convenience. Each room is thoughtfully designed with contemporary décor, plush bedding, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light. Many also offer lovely views towards the Skyline gondola.

A stay at Queenstown Park Hotel comes with some extra touches that make the experience feel special. Every morning begins with a freshly prepared breakfast. After an afternoon of sightseeing, hiking, or simply enjoying the lakefront, you can look forward to complimentary pre-dinner drinks and canapés served in the lounge. This daily ritual not only adds a touch of indulgence but also provides a great opportunity to unwind and mingle with fellow travellers.
