We are locals . Went there for the first time.Interesting story behind the wine cave. Tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. Bought gibbston valley cheese too. Great taste Enjoyed our time there.. 😃

I highly recommend this historic winery that started the production of wine in this region. They also make their own cheeses. What a perfect combination. Their driver, Jason, picked me up and transported me back to the pickup spot in Queenstown afterwards. He was very interesting to converse with and a wealth of knowledge about the area and various activities. Maddy took excellent care of me for the wine and cheese tour thoroughly explaining everything and answering all of my questions inside of the cave where the wine is stored which is very interesting and educational. Jason gave me a ride to the Kawarau bridge so I could walk over this historic piece of history and watch someone bungee jump off of it. He thoroughly explained the best way for me to walk back to the winery enjoying the gorgeous views of the Kawarau River along the way. I tried their fish tiradito with more Pinot Noir after my tour while sitting next to the fireplace relaxing. Outstanding! I highly recommend visiting this winery and cheesery when in Queenstown. You won’t be disappointed.

This was my second visit to Gibbston Valley Wines, and it didn’t disappoint. We began with a tasty lunch in a private room with colleagues, then enjoyed an exceptional wine tour led by the most energetic guide, Ian. His boundless energy, deep knowledge of wine, and genuine passion made the experience truly memorable.

We had a great day - spending time at the cheese deli, warming by the fire on a cold foggy day, and a great wine tour/tasting with Sally who was full of great info and ready to answer heaps of novice questions! We really enjoyed the wine cave tour topped off by a lovely lunch where we were looked after by Jolie! Can’t forget about George who was our coach driver who was kind and thoughtful! We definitely recommend visiting this winery:) and will be back!

Very interesting story behind the wine cave. We did the tour that included the winery and the cave. Tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. Tour was well worth the price. We had lunch in the restaurant afterwards which was awesome. Great food, good wine, good atmosphere. Free wifi was helpful too as mobile coverage at Gibbston is not amazing.

The wine and cheese cave tour was excellent! Since it was a weekday in winter, I was the only person signed up for this particular tour on the day I went. Julie was my guide, and she helped me have an incredible experience. She explained the wines, cheeses, and even the history behind the winery and the cave quite well. Julie was so warm and welcoming--an excellent guide and a knowledgeable source on wine. As a bonus, Julie did some of the tour for me in French (my request) so that I could practice my French speaking and listening. :) I highly recommend the Gibbston Valley tours--the wine is amazing, the location is beautiful, and the guides are fantastic!

Wow! What a fabulous experience which has taken my own cheeseboard and wine pairing to new heights. Instead of just a normal wine tasting, this is a wine tasting paired with the correct cheeses. For the hostess with the mostest this is the tour to give you knowledge and understanding of your cheeseboard and wines for your guests. All done in the cave where the wines are maturing. Loved it!

Omg, what a lunch. Superb, out of this world !! I’ve never in my life had such an unbelievable lamb meal. Succulent, cut like slicing ice cream, tasty. Staff Ana ing (Shona) our main waiter was so very pleasant and helpful. If you haven’t been you JUST have to try it.

Staff very happy 😊. Knowledgeable great facts. Love the wine tasting ans love the cave. This is a great place to visit ans wonderful wine.

Our group of 45 visited Gibbston Valley Winery on a cold, rainy Monday morning, and despite the weather, we had a really great experience. The highlight of our visit was the fascinating wine cave tour. Our knowledgeable guides shared insightful information about the winemaking process, which truly enhanced our appreciation for the wines we tasted. Following the tour, we warmed up at the cellar door, where we were greeted by a welcoming open fireplace. The cozy ambiance was perfect for enjoying the excellent selection of wines. Each wine we sampled was a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of Gibbston Valley Winery. For large groups, Gibbston Valley Winery is an ideal destination. The staff managed our group seamlessly, ensuring everyone had a fantastic time. We highly recommend Gibbston Valley Winery for its exceptional tours, warm hospitality, and superb wines.

Had a great tour here on my own. The staff were knowledgeable and informative as well as being friendly. I felt comfortable doing this tour on my own thanks to the welcoming staff.

We have been many times now and every time is so good. Great place. Great people. Great wines. Lucy, our guide, was so lovely and very knowledgeable

We went here with Angus on a wine tour and had the most wonderful time, the history was really interesting and the cave was quite evocative and almost surreal, we got some lovely pictures in there of us all, and we will treasure them. This was a wonderful experience, and the wines tasted were lovely, thank you.

My friend and I spent a half day on e-bikes hired from Gibbston Valley winery, touring from Arrowtown to the winery and on to the end of the valley on great paths with amazing scenery, -stopping at wineries along the way. It is incredibly well set up, we had lunch at Gibbston valley winery and included their cave tour which was an interesting experience too. The team at Gibbston Valley were amazing, particularly Jason, who went above and beyond to make sure our day on the bike was exceptional!

We visited this very touristy winery as part of a tour. The weather was a bit dicey so we missed the vineyards tour and visited the cave instead. While the guide was interesting, the wines are mediocre at best. The whole experience seemed geared to large tour groups. Much too commercial for my tastes. Next time we will visit other smaller, family owned wineries.
