Since opening in 2005, Wine Tastes has quickly become recognised as THE destination for wine lovers exploring the New Zealand wine circuit.

We are a dedicated team of highly knowledgeable wine lovers (we dont need to mention talented and good looking do we?) and we are on hand every day to share our expertise of New Zealand wine with you.

At Wine Tastes we operate on a very simple principle ........ it's all about the most important person we know (we mean YOU!). We believe you have to taste the wines, experience them for yourself and find what YOU enjoy - we are here as guides on your journey of discovering New Zealand wine.

How can we possibly do that you ask? Well, we have over 80 wines for you to taste every day! You are going to find wines that you've only dreamt about tasting!

Did we mention that we stock the widest range of wines from our Central Otago region? If you enjoy Pinot Noir then you are really going to love us - we have 24 Pinot Noir's for tasting! But that is just the tip of the iceberg because we showcase the best wines that New Zealand has to offer (there are over 80 for tasting remember).

As you would expect, playing a big part are the wines from Marlborough, with the world famous Sauvignon Blanc’s such as Cloudy Bay, and the wines from Hawkes Bay that produces icon's such as Te Mata Estate’s Coleraine.

With so many fantastic wineries close by you will often find local winemakers in the store and as a member of our Wine Club you can secure reservations at our special tasting events.

It's easy to visit us in the centre of Queenstown, so stop by, say hello and taste a special little piece of New Zealand in the heart of wine country.
