Private Queenstown Boutique Weintour - 4 Weingüter Besuche & Mittagessen

An absolutely wonderful day out in the Otago region! Shout-out to our guide Craig, who was so friendly. Being in a smaller group, the tour didn't feel rushed and we were given private tastings at each cellar door, which elevated the experience. Highly recommend!

This was an excellent way to experience a diversity of wines from central Otago. Lunch (at Carrick) was very tasty and each of the four wineries provided something different, complementing each other very well. Our guide (Taimi) was knowledgeable and fun - lots of good local recommendations and extensive experience with travel in New Zealand more broadly.

We had the most wonderful day on our custom wine tour and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide Paul! As a true local, he brought the region to life with his knowledge of its history and wine culture. He had lots of entertaining stories and tidbits about the region that really made the experience feel special and personal. We had an amazing lunch at Mt Difficulty with a fantastic selection of wines (probably our favourite) and breathtaking views. Peregrine, Te Kano, and Amisfield were just as memorable with each offering beautiful settings and generous tastings. The day felt perfectly curated and relaxed. We had a minor incident with some half bottles of wine that Paul quickly helped us out with and replaced with full sized ones at no cost! He was incredibly personable, attentive, flexible, and professional and we couldn't recommend him and Appelation Wine Tours more highly. Looking forward to booking our next experience with them!

Well planned and highly curated wine tasting tour with knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful guide (Donna). Was made more pleasant that we were in a luxury car as opposed to the typical van. Donna helped my friend set up top notch wine tastings for his upcoming day bike ride in Central Otago. Those proved to be very gratifying experiences for him. Thanks again for a wonderful day!

We had several great hours with Craig as our guide. We were able to watch a very brave bungee jumper, people traveling by speedboat, an amazing winery with delicious wines!

There wasn’t one minute that we didn’t thoroughly enjoy! Ask for Craig as your driver and guide to get the best experience possible!

My husband and I enjoyed tastings at 3 wineries plus a delicious lunch paired with 5 wines under the guidance of John. The day flew by as we enjoyed beautiful scenery between wineries and learned about the local history. We would highly recommend this tour if you wish to sample wines produced in Central Otago and learn more about the history of winemaking in this region from an entertaining guide.

We were visiting Queenstown for our honeymoon and did the private wine tour with lunch. The whole experience was amazing! The wineries were all welcoming, the lunch was one of our best meals on the trip, and most importantly our host went above any beyond to make the whole experience something we will never forget. Definitely would recommend this experience for anyone visiting.

What an absolute amazing time we had. Our tour guide/driver was the best . Highly recommend this to everyone. Such a fantastic way to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.

This was amazing. The best wine tour and lunch ever experienced. Our driver, Martin, made it an unforgettable experience. Wonderful selection of Gibbiston and Bannockburn vineyards and a great Lunch at Carrick in Bannockburn in between. Private wine tastings at both boutique and top name wineries and a guided private tour in a luxury vehicle of all the features in the area travelled. Amazing selection of top wines. Far above any of the Queenstown wine tours we have done. Exceptional.
