Queenstown
Made By profiles 2 places in Queenstown, spanning hotel, modern new zealand fine dining — each tied to the people and producers behind it.
01.Modern New Zealand Fine Dining
Amisfield
Queenstown, New Zealand
Sitting on a 200-acre working estate beside Lake Hayes, Amisfield is where Central Otago winemaking and serious kitchen craft converge. Chef Vaughan Mabee, who trained at Noma and Martin Berasategui before taking the helm in 2012, builds a tasting menu around estate-grown produce and local game. A 2025 entry into the World's 50 Best at number 99 confirms what regulars have long understood: this is one of New Zealand's most closely watched dining destinations.

02.Hotel
Roki Collection
Queenstown, New Zealand
Roki Collection sits on the edge of Lake Wakatipu in central Queenstown, 15 suites of stacked schist and glass framing glacial water and the Southern Alps beyond. Michelin Selected in 2025, it operates at the quieter, service-intensive end of the town's hotel market, where a jet-black Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a 15,000-bottle wine cellar, and anticipatory logistics handling place it in a different tier from the larger resort properties nearby.
