WHAT TO DO
Ski, obviously. Coronet Peak is the closest to Queenstown, a 20-minute drive (and where you’ll find the Veuve Clicquot Apres Ski Bar), followed by The Remarkables and Cardrona, all of which are popular ski fields. For an alternative sprint around the mountains, and for the first time this year, the Clicquot in the Snow itinerary includes husky sledding at Snow Farm in collaboration with UnderDog, which is equal parts adorable and unforgettable. Steer a four-dog sled through the high trails of the Southern Alps, or recline and ride along in the basket with an experienced musher. Snow Farm also offers snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and the chance to stay overnight in one of the backcountry huts. If you’re looking for an after-dark activity, the Clicquot Stargazing Experience will see you ride a gondola to the top of Bob’s Peak, for an evening of stargazing and champagne sipping — romantic as can be.
