Queenstown sits on the shore of the South Island’s Lake Wakatipu, set against the Southern Alps. The surrounding Central Otago region is known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards, and for adventure sports. One can ski in the winter and paragliding, mountain biking and bungee-jumping in the summer.
