APPELLATION CENTRAL WINE TOURS WINS NATIONAL WINE TOURISM AWARD!

Appellation Central wins national Best of Wine Tourism award for Wine Tourism Services.

After being selected as one of three finalists in that category, the judges then joined our tour on different days, to see first hand how we operate. The judges singled us out for our exceptional level of service and the highly engaging experience we offer our clients. They said:

"……..It was my pleasure to have been on your tour. I found it to be one of the most professional that I have been on and there were lots of great little personal touches that set it apart from others.” Dr. Richard Mitchell – Senior Lecturer in Tourism, University of Otago.

“After reading the application and then experiencing the tour, I came away with the impression that you leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of business excellence...” Tara Druce, Tourism Consultant, Central Otago

The Great Wine Capitals (GWC) Global Network was founded in Bordeaux, France 10 years ago with a goal to bring together the World’s most prestigious wine regions to enhance their economic, education, and tourism projects. Following a visit from representatives of the global Network, Christchurch/South Island officially became the ninth Great Wine Capital in October 2009.

We would like to thank all our guides, who show such passion, professionalism and dedication to their roles, our friends in the vineyards, who show us suchgreat support, and of course all our agents, concierges, frontline staff and activity bookers who choose to recommend us to their guests.

Cheers, salute, and your very good health!
