Yesterday we went to the Gibbeston Valley to taste their delightful wine.
We stopped at two wineries, Amisfield and Mt Rosa.
Amisfield isn't quite in the Gibbeston Valley but closer to Arrowtown, about 15 miles northeast of Queenstown (Gibbeston Valley is only 22 so it's all close).
Both areas are beautiful, especially this time of year (autumn).
Those are the grape vines in the foreground.
We both liked the wine at Amisfield better and their food was delicious. Mt Rosa was very friendly and they were very informative; showing us how they measured the sugar content of the grapes. They also had a delicious mulled wine but it's a holiday thing and we were hesitant to try to get it back home on the plane.
We stopped in Arrowtown on the way home which is an old mining town and reminded us of Julian.
The trees that coated the hillside in the distance were colorful and picturesque. Like a painting!
In the evening, we returned to our Air BNB accomodations for our final night in Queenstown.
We feel like we made the most of our time here and will definitely return to this "adventure capital of the world"!
