The Gibbston Wine Tasting Tour is a journey through the heart of Central Otago's wine paradise, where you'll sample handcrafted wines, meet passionate winemakers, and learn about the art of winemaking
It was a lovely day touring the wine culture in Gibbston valley. Our driver, Raman, was friendly & knowledgeable, but not pretentious -- chill guy. We learned a lot about the history of wines in the region and came away with a greater appreciation for Pinot Noir. Lunch (at Kinross) was filling & delicious; moreover, each meal was individually & excellently paired with an appropriate wine. The tasting experience at Kinross was the best of the three wineries we visited. Diego, the sommelier, did an excellent job introducing the wines, as well as the makers & history behind each one.
More wines tasted in a day than ever. A good mix of fellow tasters. Friendly accommodating driver. An enjoyable experience.
We were excited to visit the wineries in the Gibbson area. Our driver was Randy, he was friendly, chatty and fun. Luckily for us, we were the only customers, so it became a private tour. We were able to spend plenty of time at each winery and stop for photos when opportunities arose. Being Pinot Noir lovers we tried around 10, all of good to exceptional quality. A bucket list item ticked off.
