What to expect
Gibbston Valley Winery
The first stop of the day is at the iconic Gibbston Valley Winery. Gibbston Valley is one of the region's founding wineries and it's here that we will join a guided tour through New Zealand's largest underground wine cave and enjoy tastings of some of their world-famous wines.
Kinross Winery, Cellar Door & Cottages
Kinross is our second stop and a fantastic location to try a range of different wines across multiple labels. Along with producing their own wines, their cellar door host will also showcase wines from smaller producers and share their incredible stories of how they came to be. After your wine tasting, we allow extra time to enjoy lunch. Kinross has a range of delicious dishes on its menu, including pizzas, platters, smaller bites, and mains. This is ordered and paid directly on the day, giving you the flexibility to order what you would like based on your taste and budget.
Mt Rosa is a boutique owner-operated winery and their stunning location is situated just below the impressive Nevis Bluff. Sitting in the vines, their newly built cellar door building gives you a sophisticated backdrop to a delicious tasting menu. Their cellar door host will take you through different varieties of their single-label wines. Their mulled wine is a customer highlight!
Waitiri Creek Wines
We finish our tasting tour at Waitiri Creek Wines, a picturesque spot housed in a beautifully refurbished woolshed on scenic Gibbston Back Road. This is the tasting room for Waitiri Creek Wines, a family-owned vineyard with roots tracing back to the Gold Rush era. While they didn’t strike literal gold, a century later they believe they’ve created something even better - exceptional wines that capture the spirit of the region. Come and experience them for yourself.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
