Jet off on a wine trail with a difference

Board a Kawarau Jet boat at Queenstown's main pier and journey up the lake to the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers.

The boat will drop you off below Chard Farm vineyard where Wine Central will pick you up and take you on a tour of Gibbston Valley's three most popular vineyards.

There's also time to explore a wine cave and enjoy a harvest platter lunch. The Kawarau Jet Wine Trail costs $150 and includes all transport, wine sampling, wine-cave tour and lunch.

Allow half a day for the trip.
