Queenstown cellar doors to visit on your own

Most Queenstown cellar doors take drop-ins during opening hours for a tasting flight, and a few are by appointment only.

Gibbston has the most, close enough together to walk or ride between; the rest are near Lake Hayes, in Arrowtown and at the Frankton marina.

Each cellar door links to its page here, with opening hours, what it offers and how to book. For a day plan with lunch stops, see Planning your Queenstown wine day, and for every cellar door, Queenstown wineries.
