Gibbston Valley Winery is a family-owned, boutique producer of award-winning, premium Central Otago wines including some that are certified organic.
The winery is located in the South Island of New Zealand, about a 25-minute drive from Queenstown, and is home to a gourmet restaurant, cellar door tasting room, bike centre and New Zealand's largest wine cave, open daily for tours and wine tasting. The winery's restaurant, cellar door and wine cave are all available for hire for weddings, corporate functions and other special events.
The winery produces several different ranges of wines including Gold River, Gibbston Valley, Single Vineyard and Reserve. Each range features a mix of Central Otago-style wines that have been handcrafted using traditional winemaking techniques to showcase each varietal in its purest form. The Reserve is their most premium range and features only the best fruit from a select few rows of Pinot Noir. It is a very limited release.
Gibbston Valley has seven vineyards located in Gibbston and the nearby Bendigo subregion. Two of them are certified organic by BioGro New Zealand including Gibbston Valley's original Home Block vineyard located in Gibbston and planted by their founder Alan Brady in 1983 and their School House vineyard located in Bendigo. Their China Terrace vineyard, also located in Bendigo, is in the process of being converted to organic.
One of Central Otago's founding wineries, Gibbston Valley released the region's first commercial vintage in 1987. That success spurred Central Otago's growth into becoming a world-renowned winemaking region. Gibbston Valley continues to be one of the most influential wineries in the region with both the wines they release and the range of unique experiences they offer to guests at the winery.
