The tour opens on a cool lakeside evening with the Remarkables cutting a dark, serrated line across the sky and the water reflecting a scatter of lights. Guests meet in central Queenstown and are eased into luxury transport that hums toward Frankton Marina; the first course arrives with Central Otago bubbles and a view that dares you to rush nothing.
