The amount of available wines were impressive, and the tasting system quite sophisticated. We ordered cheese platter with the wine. Everything very good, but quite expensive. They even charged extra for a few gluten free biscuits.

We really enjoyed trying the many fine selections of NZ wines, and a tasty cheese board. It’s nice to sit at a common table to meet and talk with other interesting visitors. The owner and staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, and helped us make excellent choices.

A great place to stop in Queenstown New Zealand, the staff were really friendly and showed me how to use the wine tasting credit card system (a first for me).

What a unique and innovative idea. Wines you can try at a tiny tiny price. Great selection of gins also - including some locals. We sat outside as it was a lovely afternoon but there were plenty of people spread out inside too. Options for food too

What a great idea. This shop has a huuuuge selection of wines alongside a smaller offering of whiskey and other spirits. They have a small selection of wines of different varieties that are available to try in a vending machine style. You choose the size you want (taste, half, full glass) - the machine shows the different prices for each wine and you purchase it using a chip card. It's a fantastic opportunity to sample a very expensive wine that you might not otherwise get to try. They also have some whiskey's available to sample this way. Unfortunately I didn't have time to come back the next day but I saw they also offered gin flight tastings too.

We went to The Winery in Arrowtown as part of the hop on Hop off tour and what a hidden gem it was- we had walked past it the previous day and had no clue it was there!
It has 100s of wines abd you can choose to taste as many as you like with the chip card they give you. Choose the wines you taste; with the simple push of a button you can serve yourself either a taste, half or full glass. There were 5 Chardonnays and 4 Sav Balncs the day we were there. Relax and unwind in the comfort of the leather lounge chairs by the fire or sit outside while the sun shines.
The staff are really friendly and helpful. You can do Gin and Whiskey tastings as well.

The Winery at Arrowtown's a hidden gem. Whether you want just a coffee, or a tasting flight of local gins, or to try some of their huge range of wines, this is the place. Our first visit we checked it out then enjoyed a coffee in their oversized leather club chairs. We came back a couple of days later for tastings: a gin flight for me, whisky for my husband. Lovely to relax in the comfy chairs and enjoy a leisurely, unpressured tasting. There's outside seating as well. Dont miss it.

Had an amazing afternoon at The Winery as a group of 14. Chris was friendly, informative and effervescent, telling us all about the wines and putting up with our terrible banter. Fantastic selection of wines, with the added bonus of spirits and other options for the non-wine drinkers. Added bonus of the bar next door for when you've had plenty of wine and your palate has lost its sophistication. Would highly recommend.
