Gibbston Valley, Gibbston, Central Otago
Gibbston Valley offers one of the ultimate cellar door experiences and was the pioneer of wine making in Central Otago. It has the full range of wine, food, and merchandise and offers winery and vineyard tours. What more could you want? Well, cheese perhaps, as Gibbston Valley Cheese is located adjacent to Gibbston Valley Wines.
But back to the wine, Gibbston Valley makes a stunning range of Pinot Noirs, including reserve wines, and a wide range of white varieties. The cellar door offers many tasting options, with or without food to match. And then of course there are the vineyard and cave tours.
Being prominently located on the main road to Queenstown, Gibbston Valley can cater for the mass market end of the cellar door experience. Despite this, the service to small groups is as friendly and informed as you will find in many smaller enterprises. Another must visit cellar door.
