Artist studio & Gallery tour

Join us for a fully guided boutique art immersion.

Enjoy a day out immersed in Queenstown’s vibrant art and culture. This unique experience combines breathtaking landscapes with a close-up and personal connection to local artists in residence. Travel through stunning scenery as we visit inspiring creatives—painters, sculptors, and photographers—right in their studios and gardens, offering an intimate glimpse into their creative worlds.

You’ll have the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with the artists, ask questions, and learn about the inspiration and stories behind their work. These visits are a celebration of place-based creativity—deeply rooted in the land, environment, and seasons. The tour also includes guided visits to select local art galleries, showcasing a variety of styles—from traditional landscapes to bold contemporary pieces. Explore the latest exhibitions and discover something for every artistic taste.

As part of your day, we pause to enjoy a boutique local lunch featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients and wines from nearby vineyards—an experience that not only delights the senses, but also supports local producers and reduces our footprint by keeping things close to home.

Led by your local artist and guide, this small-group tour ensures personalised attention, comfort, and a relaxed pace as you journey into the heart of Queenstown’s creative community. Throughout the day, we travel responsibly, choosing routes that minimise impact, and our partners—both artists and venues—are committed to sustainable practices, whether that’s artwork made through recycled materials, energy-conscious studios, or ecological garden design.

We’ll stop at several scenic locations offering fantastic photo opportunities to capture the beauty of Queenstown. You'll also have ample time to browse exhibitions and purchase artwork if desired—many studios and galleries offer a convenient postage service.

If you have a particular art style or interest, let us know in advance, and we’ll tailor the itinerary to include it. This is more than just a tour; it’s a mindful, inspiring journey into Queenstown’s artistic soul—full of colour, conversation, and creative connection with the land and its people.
