  • How long is the tour?

    The tour approximately takes 5 hours.

  • What's the tour like?

    Explore the wineries at your leisure - the riding distance to the first winery is 800m. To get all the way to the end of the wine valley you’ll end up covering about 5-12km so the distance is variable depending on which wineries you'd like to visit and how many.

  • What wineries or places can be visited?

    Gibbston Valley Winery
    The most well-known winery in the valley. Enjoy their cheesery or visit the cellar door for a tasting. Beautiful outdoor area to be enjoyed.

    Kinross
    A stunning setting with a lovely outdoor area to enjoy. Great food and wine are available here.

    The Church
    Built in Wangaloa in 1894, this old church was relocated to Gibbston in the early 2000’s. Today instead of hymns and sermons it serves up local wines and good vibes.

    Rockburn
    The Rockburn Cellar Door offers relaxed tastings of their award winning wines in a unique setting, at the iconic Gibbston Tavern. A pure expression of Central Otago in your glass.

    GT Tasting Room
    The newest addition to the valley, and little sister of the Gibbston Tavern, the GT Tasting Room offers a selection of local wines, gins, distilled spirits, and ginger beers.

    Brennan Wines
    A great place to visit, Brennan is located at the end of the valley. While you’re here, have a go at petanque.

    Mt Rosa
    Full of personality, Mt Rosa is located at the end of the valley and is certainly worth the effort to visit. Tastings here are extensive, so allow approximately 40min.

    Gibbston Tavern
    Our standard pick up location for a reason. The tavern is full of character and serves delicious wood fire pizza. A great place to relax.
