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 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.

Great day exploring the Central Otega wineries

5.00This was a great experience and highly recommend this - I am not a big wine drinker - my wife really is the one that enjoys wine - but the wines in the central otoga are fantastic. This was a full day - 4 wineries and lunch. Lunch is extra but the food was delicious. We ended up ordering a case of wine that we had shipped back to the US - the winery did everything - the cost of shipping was around $120 USD. Not much time spent in the van - our guide Katy was excellent - tolerating a lot of “tipsy” passengers blaring the music. This is both a tasting tour but also a great way to see this region. The venues were beautiful and the scenery amazing. Really recommend
Fun and high quality wine.
