Yesterday we took part in the 3.45pm winery tour, our guide was Guillaume who was just amazing! Very knowledgeable and showed us around the whole winery. Every staff member we saw and spoke to were very helpful and always had a smile on their face. We also had a cheese board and some extra wine which was very good value for money and of course tasted superb. Also a big thanks to George the winery’s bus driver who transferred us from and back to queenstown for the tour. Again he was very knowledgeable the whole trip telling us to look left and right out the windows to explain the scenery and history!
The hostess Melissa from Peru was very enthusiastic and very talkative and cleared all doubts....But some basic issues...The wine tasting inside the cave was done standing...The same glass was used for tasting all the wines..Should have been changed as the flavors get mixed..There were no snacks or drink to clean the palate.In wine tours we are to first sniff and enjoy the aroma and then the taste...Unfortunately the hostess did not do it....Overall a basic tour which should have been done seated and more elegantly...Looked like she was in a hurry looking at her watch many times....Most probably it was not Melissa's fault It must be the policy of the management
Solid day trip, Picked up from Queenstown (also had return) and then did a brief winery and wine cave tour before having the rest of the day on ebikes. Self guided cycle of the wineries nearby. Beautiful ride with cycle path. Mount Rosa, Kinross, Mount Edward and Gibbston’s all great wineries with tasting and food. Great day.
Comprehensive explanation of the winery and its expert production of fabulous wines in the South Island
La Pasamos bien! Una buena experiencia, buen vino, buena explicacion… the food was, good, but if you are planning to eat after the last tour, the restaurant is closed!
Such a nice experience on privilege tour. My wife and I certainly learned a lot about all wine history of the region. Quality and passion on how they build all stories related is touching. Thanks for the opportunity. To finalize, we had a very nice lunch with nice pairing wines.
A sublime place, a tasting of the wines of the region particularly pleasant. The sommelier was French (Angel), very nice and very good oenolic advice. This place deserves to be opened a little later (closing at 5pm) for a night experience.
Absolutely amazing experience! The wines were fantastic, the tour itself was unforgettable, and Jules was an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, fun, and full of energy. Couldn’t have asked for a better day!
Pick up and drop off was quick and easy, and George the driver was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The tour was really interesting, especially the wine cave, and Melissa the tour guide was great. Finished off with 4 wines to taste. Overall a fun and interesting experience.
Very informative and friendly winery tour guide. Very helpful wine selection staff - lovely venue. Only two - wife and myself - but was no trouble and had more personalised attention. Would highly recommend a visit to Gibbston Valley winery by all visiting Queenstown or Central Otago.
