Traveler Reviews

Looking for something special to do in Queenstown and this tour was suggested by Chloe at Happy tours in Queenstown, who was extremely helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. The whole booking system was effortless and pick up was on time. Our driver Gary from Appellation wine tours was excellent as a driver and tour guide with vast knowledge of the area and wineries we visited as well as others we didn’t visit (next time). Gary was very professional in his approach managing to add a good amount of humour and local stories which made our tour extra special. By the way the wine and food was superb

Gary was a very good host very knowledgeable and alot of fun, would highly recommend Gary as a host and tour guide

A lovely day with Gary. Very informative and unbiased tour. Lots of fun details about the wines and local region. :-)

Fantastic last minute trip. Gary was great, so funny, knowledgeable and an all round GC. Would highly recommend

We recommend tour guide Gary, he was friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. We visited four lovely yet distinctly different vineyards and enjoyed a wonderful lunch on a beautiful sunny day.
