What travelers say:
First of all, the winery also has a pasture feel. The vast grassland is out of sight, and the grape plantations are rarely seen. Under the Portuguese shelf is the winery winery and dining place, the environment is impeccable.

Additional Information
Introduction
Back in the early 1980s, Alan Brady, founder of Gibbston Estate, planted a vine in the Gibbston area with a passion for winemaking. In this land at 45° south latitude, the interaction of sunlight, soil and climate has created the miracle of wine growing in the region. From this planting experience, Alan also realized the patience and hard work it takes to cultivate great wine fruit. Only certain grape varieties can survive in the cooler local climates. In 1983, Alan founded HomeBlock, the vineyard of the Gitten Estate, and in 1987 produced the estate's first commercial vintage wines, and the wines he produced immediately gained huge recognition. Then, batch after batch of imitators followed, following in the footsteps of the pioneers. Since the founder Alan planted the vines here, Gitten Estate has worked tirelessly to improve various services and environmental facilities in the following decades. From dining experiences to wine cellar visits, specialty purchases to cycling tours, Gitten Estate has become a worldwide tourist destination and a place to experience pure New Zealand wine. The winery has a large-scale wine cellar in New Zealand. The winery's explanation will take you to the early vineyards in Central Otago, and learn about the planting of grapes and wine making while seeing the style of the HomeBlock vineyard. process, and a glimpse into the day-to-day work of a winemaker. The winery also has a boutique restaurant, where the valley is quiet and beautiful, and the wonderful combination of beautiful scenery and delicious food and wine will bring you an unforgettable dining experience.

First of all, the winery also has a pasture feel. The vast grassland is out of sight, and the grape plantations are rarely seen. Under the Portuguese shelf is the winery winery and dining place, the environment is impeccable.
It is really cold to come to Queenstown in winter. In addition to skiing, wine tasting at the winery is also a good choice. According to the recommendation of the local guide, we drive to Gibbston Valley Wines for about 20 minutes by car. Participated in the half-hour cave tour. The Chinese staff of the winery were very professional. They took us to visit the largest wine cave in New Zealand. They tasted 3 glasses of wine in the wine cellar. They were not addictive. After we came out, we went to the front desk to taste some other wines. Plant famous local wines. One of the favorites is the winery’s signature-the collection of Pinot Noir, which tastes great! Because of the limited time, I didn’t have lunch at the winery. I heard that the restaurant is also very good. Friends who have a lot of time can also rent bicycles and ride along the Kawarau River to the birthplace of bungee jumping. It takes only about 10 minutes. The scenery is super Great~
Loved the wine tasting - the restaurant is very good as well. Interesting to sample the local stuff.
Not actually Gibbston but CHARD FARM VINEYARD (but Gogobot will not let me add it). Very good! Slurp, slurp.
This winery just outside of Queenstown not only makes outstanding wine but also has an attached restaurant that serves great meals. You can tour the winery and see how the wine is made, visit the 'wine cave' where it is stored and sample their latest vintage - yum!
