I visited Queenstown with my boyfriend and his mother in October, and a few weeks prior to arriving, I tried to book a day tour with Appellation Central for a fun day out. We were on a tight schedule, and due to few people being booked on that particular day, Appellation told us that unfortunately we couldn't get a tour.... more

We had a great afternoon and a private tour! My husband and I were on our honeymoon in June and were the only travelers. We went to four vineyards and ended up purchasing 6 bottles of wine, which we flew home in our suitcase. it would have cost about $200USD to ship as case back to the states. The scenery... more

We went on the Boutique half-day tour with Appellation Central Wine Tours and it was awesome. Philip, who picked us up at our hotel, was extremely nice and informative- and this was before the wine tour even began! Kirsty guided our tour and was so pleasant and knowledgeable. She was more than happy to answer all of our questions. If,... more

My wife and I toured the Central Otago area with Kirsty while we were on our honeymoon in Queenstown and had a fantastic time! Kirsty picked us up from our hotel in Queenstown and we drove to The Winehouse & Kitchen. We ended up going to 5 other wineries (Wooing Tree, Felton Road, Bannock Brae, Carrick, & Bald Hills). All... more

Our guide was open to suggestions and tailored the day to our interests. Tasting local cuisine along with the wine was lovely. The short stop in a small town (Cromwell, I think) was lovely. Good mix of wineries visited and our guide answered questions in a friendly manner. Recommended for wine enthusiasts or folks who just want a day of... more

We recently visited Queenstown and went on a half-day wine tour through Central Otago with Appellation Central. We visited four excellent wineries, Peregrine, Carrick, Rockburn, and Chard Farm. All had fantastic wines and Peregrine, Carrick, and Chard Farm were each in uniquely beautiful locations. We were fortunate enough to have been the only people to book the tour on the... more

Despite having to be up and ready to leave the hotel by 9:30am for the complimentary hotel pick up, it did not take long to wake up. Tammy, a fellow Australian, was very informative and told us things that we couldn't have thought to ask. You really appreciate the price of this tour when you realise how much driving is... more
