Brewery & Distillery Queenstown

This 6 hour gin experience departs Queenstown daily at 12:30pm and returns at 6:30pm. You will be picked up from your accommodation in one of our Mercedes vehicles by your guide and transported to our first location, the Cardrona Distillery. This beautiful distillery is located a few minutes past the famous Cardrona Pub and opposite the entrance to the Cardrona ski field. Here you will be taken through a full sensory, tactile tour of the facilities including gin & spirits tastings in the private tasting room.


Your next stop is an easy drive down the Crown Range into Arrowtown, to visit a wonderful cellar door experience where you will have a self guided tasting, using the knowledge you have just gained to enjoy your gin tasting paddle along with shared grazing boards.
The last stop is a 15 minute journey to Arthurs Point where we visit the “Gin Garden by Broken Heart Spirits”. Here you will be guided through a range of local Broken Heart gins in a private room with traditional German Tarte Flambee to share.
This gin experience has been designed to be a nice mix of education, sightseeing and fun. It is perfect for couples, groups and there is some flexibility to try other spirits such as vodka, whiskey and of course wines throughout if you want to balance or restrict your gin intake.
Want to upgrade your experience? Start your gin experience with a scenic helicopter flight to a remote mountain location and soak in the epic views while your pilot pours you your first gin of the day before flying down and landing at The Cardrona Distillery and continuing the tour by road - connect with us at info@altitudetours.co.nz to find out how!
