We go for the $20 steak and chips. Always great and pretty cheap by Queenstown standards. They also have a fantastic selection of craft beers.

This is a great sight seeing experience, boat trip and dining out experience all combined into one.. The boat ride on a beautifully restored and maintained coal fired ship (complete with bar/snacks) is a must do. The lunch or dinner BBQ spread is amazing. The restaurant is located on a working sheep station, so you can even enjoy a sheep shearing and sheep herding demonstration if you like.

They have a unique and modern cellar door with a curved roof representing the wings of a peregrine falcon. Once inside enjoy the view of the barrel room through the glass wall while enjoying some of the best Otago wines. Pinot Noir anyone? Great wines and welcoming friendly staff.

An unassuming cellar door from the outside. Set in an old shearing shed. The cellar door/wine tasting area is modern and classy. When you enter the building a fantastic cheesery is immediately on your right. They do tastings of cheese also. On left is the wine tasting room. Only a few to try but worth it. On your right is an old sheep shearing area. One of the newest and closest wineries to Queenstown
