We will depart the hotel at 10am and will travel through the Kawarau Gorge to Cromwell.
Cromwell is the "fruit bowl" of the South Island. We will make a quick stop at one of the fabulous road side

perfect spot to sample Northburn's stunning wines. There's also a huge sheltered outdoor
fireplace and seating area alongside the building that's a perfect relaxation spot no
matter what the season.

travelling back to Queenstown via the stunning Cardrona Valley stopping at the
Cardrona Hotel for afternoon tea.
