Enjoy a full day exploring the heart of Gibbston Valley wine country, where stunning landscapes meet award-winning wines and the stories behind them.
It was our tour guide Allys first tour and she was the BEST! We had great communication from the company regarding a pick up change. We thoroughly enjoyed the bus ride with Ally telling us local stories and pointing out things of interest. The first three vineyards were lovely (Jessie agreed we needed stools at Chard farm ;)). The girls at Waitiri were great and the butter on the cheese plate is to die for!! Brennan Wine was our fav wine of the bunch (might have been the extra glasses of Rose we drunk at Waitiri that helped that though..). While the wines at the last stop, Nockies, were our least favourite, the setting and sommelier were great!!
We had the best day on our wine tour yesterday, and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Anna. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and so easy to connect with—it felt like spending the day with a good friend. Anna took us to four very different wineries, each with its own unique vibe. The variety made the experience really special, and you could tell she had thoughtfully planned everything to give us a great mix. She was an amazing host—attentive, fun, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Her energy and personality truly made the day unforgettable. We’re so grateful to have had her as our guide

Fantastic
A really wonderful experience being delivered and hosted on this wine tour around the Gibbston Valley with Marie from Southern Discoveries. Very boutique and exclusive with niche wines learning about the area amd the vintages. Felt very fortunate to be able to taste these high calibre wines. You will love it.
