Spend Wine Night at these Queenstown Gems

Sipping a glass whilst overlooking a picturesque landscape of the mountains sounds like something out of a dream, and Fino Wine Bar makes that vision a reality. European style cuisine complements their curated selection of boutique wines. Most of their wines are sourced from small local businesses in the Otago area. They have several wine-tasting options, and if you’re feeling puckish, they’ve got an add-on cheese board to bolster your experience

Hidden inside an unassuming side alley, Bardeaux is the perfect spot for all kinds of nights out. A simple interior draws attention to a large open fire, which creates a warm, inviting reprieve from the Queenstown chill. Another thing about this place is the knowledgeable staff. Enthusiasts will be able to have an engaging conversation, while casual drinkers can learn more about their order

The first thing you’ll notice when you walk into The Lodge Bar is their stunning interior. Tartan pillows, sprawling furs, and a bespoke wooden feature wall encapsulate the warm and rustic characteristics of Rodd and Gunn’s rich fashion heritage with Queenstown in a single snapshot. As for the wine, each item on the list is masterfully curated to flawlessly complement their food menu. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better– patrons get to indulge in a stunning view of Lake Wakatipu as they sip and dine

Nest Kitchen + Bar brings together nature and the avant garde. This establishment connects patrons with the fresh ingredients through their seasonal menu and sustainable practice, whilst presenting the dishes in a way that pushes culinary limits. Floor-to-ceiling windows expose the bar to an influx of natural light, facing the Wakatipu river, almost as if the restaurant itself is floating on water.
