Alia began her journey with Altitude Tours in 2019 as a wine tour guide and has since progressed to Key Account Manager. With a deep passion for wine, Alia’s experience working at various cellar doors in Victoria, Australia, made the Pinot Noir of Central Otago a key factor in her move to Queenstown. Altitude Tours’ Wine Sampler Tour, launched in 2017, with one mission to be the best wine tour in the world. In 2021, that vision was realised when we won the prestigious Tripadvisor award. Our 6-hour tour, departing from Queenstown at 10 am, explores the Gibbston wine region. Guests visit four cellar doors, including renowned wineries and family-run boutiques, as well as New Zealand’s largest wine cave at Gibbston Valley Winery. During the tour, we make a relaxed stop at an award-winning winery, where guests can order lunch from the menu and enjoy the scenic surroundings. The day concludes with a fun drive back to Queenstown, where guests select the playlist and receive a branded wine glass to commemorate their memorable and educational experience.
