Appellation Wine Tours has been delivering premium conference and incentive group experiences in Queenstown and Central Otago, New Zealand for over 26 years, specialising in tailored corporate tours and working closely with professional conference organizers (PCOs) to design seamless, high-impact itineraries. Our focus is on creating memorable corporate incentive travel experiences in Queenstown that take delegates out of the conference room and into the heart of the region’s world-class wine and landscape experiences.
We design fully customised itineraries for a wide range of corporate groups, from relaxed half-day Queenstown incentive tours including vineyard lunches or afternoon tea for groups of around 50 delegates, to curated partner programs for smaller groups featuring spa experiences. We also deliver premium full-day corporate incentive experiences in Central Otago, including scenic helicopter transfers, winemaker hosted tastings, craft beer and wine experiences, and multi-course wine-paired dining. Our long-standing relationships with local wineries and activity operators allow us to deliver exclusive and highly personalised experiences.
Every tour includes engaging and informative commentary on Queenstown, Arrowtown, and the surrounding Central Otago region, delivered by experienced wine guides who bring local history, culture, and wine knowledge to life. This ensures delegates enjoy not only premium wine experiences but also a deeper understanding of the region, making it ideal for corporate group tours in Queenstown and incentive travel programs seeking both entertainment and education.
Our dedicated operations team specialises in Queenstown corporate event logistics and incentive travel planning, ensuring every detail is carefully managed. With a strong focus on coordination, communication, and contingency planning, we work closely with event planners and PCOs to guarantee smooth execution and a seamless guest experience from start to finish.
We offer fully bespoke Queenstown incentive tour planning, and our team responds to enquiries within 24 hours with tailored recommendations or creative itinerary suggestions designed around your objectives, group size, and budget.
We design flexible and creative Queenstown corporate incentive itineraries with a wide range of premium inclusions across Gibbston, Cromwell, and Bannockburn wine regions. Options include vineyard and cellar door visits, private wine tastings, gourmet platter lunches, two or three-course wine-paired dining experiences, morning and afternoon teas, and artisan food pairings such as cheese and chocolate tastings. Experiences can also include exclusive appointments with winemakers or vineyard owners, underground wine cave tours, and craft beer or whisky tastings.
For added experiential value, itineraries can incorporate scenic and adventure-based activities such as guided walks through Arrowtown or Old Cromwell Town, helicopter transfers, jet boating, ziplining, bungy jumping, and other signature Queenstown activities. Scenic stops such as Skippers Canyon Lookout can also be included for photo opportunities and showcase the region’s landscapes.
Here are a few examples of some package C&I tours. We organise these frequently and they work very well for any number of delegates.
