Come and experience New Zealand’s largest wine cave at the award winning Gibbston Valley Winery.
The Wine Cave Tour is a must do for wine lovers, where you’ll get to visit the Home Block Vineyard, learn all about the history of the region, and taste 3 different varietals of wine.
Take a leisurely walk through the vines and soak up the tranquil ambiance before entering the wine cave where you'll be greeted by the sight of over 300 barrels of Pinot Noir along the walls.
As well as the fine wines, you’ll get to soak up the breathtaking scenery that forms the beautiful Gibbston Valley - A truly magical place to visit.
We had a great experience. We had an elderly lady with us. This tour was on her bucket list. The staff couldn't have taken better care of her. We all really enjoyed the wine and the history of the winery. We left with a good supply of wine and cheese and will be recommending this experience to family and friends
Great tour and great wine and cheese.
This is our second time doing this tour. We were very disappointed in the verbal communication. This was done in a particularly strong French accent. VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND what she was saying. A very short talk ???outside then we followed to the cave. We had three samples and then our guide took off. We were not sure where to next so we made our own way to the main pavilion. This should have been explained. As I said short and the wine (well one of the samples was) sweet.
The whole experience was great and the team at Gibbston Valley were so helpful, we had car issues and couldn’t make our time and the team were able to reschedule us for whenever our car was fixed. The tour itself was beautiful, our guide was kind and enthusiastic and answered all our questions. We got to tour the cave and sampled our wines in the cave, it was a interesting and inquisitive experience.

Great experience
I had an amazing experience on the Gibbston Valley Wine Cave and Wine Tasting Tour! The cave itself was stunning, and our tour guide made the whole experience fun, engaging, and anything but boring. The wines were excellent. the only small hiccup was that we were missed for the last tasting, but once I asked, they quickly sorted it out. it was a large group, so I can understand how that happened. overall a fantastic tour and well worth it for any wine lover!
