Roaring Wine Tours

We are a boutique Wine Tour Company, based out of Central Otago. We are wine guides, not tour guides.
(17)

I love seeing the expression on peoples faces when they find a wine that knocks their socks off somewhere they would never expect. We try to go off the beaten track as much as possible and believe that the intimacy and personal touch offered by small boutique wineries is as much a part of the romance of tasting wine as is a good cheese match. We will pick you up from your accommodation and take yo

u around Central Otago in our comfortable air conditioned van. We will wind through gorgeous gorges, over ravenous rivers and under magnificent mountains as we taste some of the most mouthwatering wine and food that the region has to offer.

A behind the scenes look into Methode Traditional production at ...all their bubbly is hand riddled on site.
Riddling, also known as "remuage" is the process of gradually tilting and turning bottles of Champagne to encourage the sediment, which forms during the secondary fermentation, to collect in the neck of the bottle. This sediment is then typically frozen, removed, and the bottle is corked. Riddling helps create the clear and sparkling appearance of Champagne.

Sipping Reserve Chardonnay and listening to the dulcet tunes of in the barrel hall at Maori Point Wines. Yes I did have Pinot to sup on at one point - but the Chardonnay is too good!

Wine tasting in the sunshine- what a way to spend an autumn afternoon in paradise!

I mean - this is Central Otago in Autumn - flipping ridiculously gorgeous!

Autumn is like a paintbrush for vineyards!
With shades of red, orange, and yellow, these vines are showing off their colourful personalities before taking a nap for the winter.
It's visually the best time to visit Central Otago so book a tour before we dive into our winter scenes!

"Autumn is the season of harvest, when we reap what we have sown. The vines hang heavy with grapes, ready to be plucked and turned into the finest wine." - Unknown

Happy St Patrick's Day ...there's going to be a lot of green people tomorrow 🍀🍀

Happy International Riesling Day! One of my fav's, and truly an unsung hero of Central Otago. Riesling is often considered an underdog grape variety, but is actually incredibly versatile and an utterly delicious wine that can complement many different cuisines... making it a great choice for food pairing!
Despite being underrated, Riesling offers a wide range of flavours and spectrum of sweetness, and it can showcase unique terroir characteristics that are worth exploring.

Why book a wine tour experience with a small operator like us VS one of the larger tour operators?
Booking with an industry professional, and passionate wine character, is essential to get the most out of your wine tour experience. Such a person can provide in-depth knowledge about the wine industry, the local wine region, the production process, and the characteristics of different wines. They can also offer personal insights into the history and culture of the region, provide recommendations on the best wineries and wines to try, and personalise your tour experience.
On the other hand, a generic bus driver will lack the necessary knowledge and expertise to offer a truly enriching wine tour experience. They may be unfamiliar with the intricacies of winemaking, the nuances of different wine varietals, and the history and culture of the region. As a result, the wine tour may be less engaging, less informative, and less enjoyable overall.

Visiting a small owner-operator vineyard is like being invited into someone's home for a private wine tasting.
Each sip is infused with the passion, care, and attention to detail that comes from a wine producer who knows every vine. It's an intimate experience that not only delights the palate, but also connects us to the land, the people, and the stories behind each bottle.

"There's gold in them thar hills" - Yosemite Sam
The Bannockburn Sluicings were a series of sluicing operations that took place in the Bannockburn during the 19th century.
The sluicings were a method of placer mining, where water was used to wash soil and gravel from a gold-bearing riverbed, allowing the gold to be collected and separated. The Bannockburn Sluicings were among the most successful of these operations, and they played a significant role in the development of the Otago goldfields.

Marilyn at Maori Point explains the importance of barrels to visitors from Canada and 'Straya.
While extremely costly, oak barrels are vital in the aging and flavouring of wine. The wood of the barrel can add flavour and tannins to the wine. It also helps to oxygenate the wine, which can aid in softening the tannins and overall development.
Additionally, barrels can also help to stabilize the wine and protect it from spoilage.
The specific type of wood used in a barrel (we mostly use French Oak in NZ) as well as the char and toast level of the barrel, can also have a significant impact on the final style of the wine.
