Girls on the Road Again 2026 Gin & Wine Experience
Pack your sense of adventure (and your favourite wine glass emoji 🍷😉), because in 2026, we’re heading back to the South Island for a girls’ getaway that’s all about laughter, luxury, and a whole lot of liquid sunshine!
This is Sip, Savour & Sparkle – South Island Edition, where we explore the spirited side of the South — from gin distilleries tucked away in alpine valleys to boutique vineyards producing some of the finest drops in Aotearoa.
🏔️ The Adventure Begins in Queenstown
Our journey starts (and ends) in Queenstown, the adventure capital of New Zealand — but this time, we’re swapping bungy cords for bubbles! Think gin tastings with mountain views, sunset toasts by the lake, and maybe a little retail therapy in between.
🍸 What’s Included in Our Gin & Wine Escape
Here’s a taste of what’s in store for you on this Girls on the Road Again signature experience:
✨ Gin Distillery Visits – Meet the makers, learn their craft, and sip botanical brilliance straight from the source.
✨ Gin Cocktail Workshop – Get hands-on shaking, stirring, and sipping your very own creations (with plenty of laughs guaranteed!).
✨ Winery Tours & Tastings – From Central Otago’s award-winning pinots to boutique cellar doors, we’ll taste our way through the region.
✨ Long Lazy Lunches – Because girls’ trips should always include fabulous food, local produce, and good company.
✨ Shopping & Scenic Adventures – From boutique stores to breathtaking viewpoints, enjoy a perfect mix of retail therapy and nature’s beauty. Think charming village shops, lakefront strolls, and endless photo ops — pure South Island magic at its best!
✨ Own Room Guarantee – As always, no solo supplement — your own room, your own space, all comfort.
✨ Small Group Experience – Enjoy a relaxed, intimate adventure with a close-knit group of like-minded women, where laughter flows, friendships blossom, and every moment feels personal and unforgettable.
