Top Wineries in Otago

If you're heading to Kinross, I'd suggest going after 2 PM. The place gets less crowded, and you have a better chance of chatting with the staff about their wines. Plus, their tasting menus are amazing!

My advice is to try their charcuterie board with the wine. Trust me, it'll save you from going hungry and you’ll get the full experience. Just be careful not to wolf it down too fast!

I totally recommend swinging by on a sunny afternoon around 3 PM. It's way less crowded, and you can really take your time enjoying the tastings without feeling rushed.

I suggest calling ahead for tastings because they can fill up fast, especially during peak season. I missed out on a spot and waited longer than expected, which was a bummer!

My advice is to ask about local food pairings while you're there. They have some amazing options that complement the wine perfectly, and they might even have deals that can save you some cash!

I suggest booking a tasting in advance, especially on weekends. It gets pretty busy, and you don’t want to miss out. I did this and ended up getting a great spot with a view!

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. It was way less crowded when I went, and I had more time to chat with the staff without feeling rushed. Plus, they have some great weekday specials on tastings!

My advise is to try the small plates while you're there. The food really pairs well with the wines, and it’s a nice way to experience local flavors. Trust me, it's worth spending a little extra!

I suggest getting there around 10:30 AM. It’s way less crowded and you can enjoy the tasting without the rush. Plus, the views are stunning in the morning light!

My advice is to try their cheese platter along with the wine tasting. It pairs so well! Also, keep an eye out for special deals, but book ahead online to save a few bucks!

Definitely try to book your tasting in advance. I went on a weekend and it was super busy, and I missed out on a few wines that were only available for reserved tastings. You don't want to miss those unique flavors

Bring a picnic! The views around Quartz Reef are gorgeous and it's a great spot to relax. Grab some local cheese and bread to enjoy between tastings. Trust me it's a fun way to save some cash and enjoy the scenery.
