As you leave Gibbston Valley Winery and follow the trail along the river, your audio guide will transport you through time — sharing gold rush legends and the deep spiritual connection the Māori hold with the Kawarau River.
60 minutes
Kinross Winery, Cellar Door & Cottages
As you ride from Rockburn toward Kinross, you’ll uncover the unique story behind this vibrant cellar door and its role as a gathering place for some of Central Otago’s most celebrated wine labels.

The Church Cellar Door and Cafe
Leaving Kinross behind, your journey continues through time as the audio guide leads you to The Church Cellar Door — where an unexpected twist of fate brought this historic chapel to the heart of Gibbston.

Admission Not Included
As you depart The Church and continue along the trail, the landscape begins to open up. Your next stop is Mt Rosa — a once rugged sheep station turned cellar door, where bold wines and rustic charm tell a story all their own.
