    Editor's Pick

    Gibbston Valley Winery

    The region's pioneering winery and the most complete day out on the trail — New Zealand's largest wine cave, a tasting room, bistro, on-site cheesery and a luxury lodge, all at 1820 State Highway 6.

    #2

    Kinross Cellar Door

    The single most efficient stop on the trail: one cellar door pouring six boutique Central Otago labels you would otherwise drive all day to find, with a bistro alongside it.

    #3

    Chard Farm

    Family-run pioneer at the entrance to the valley, reached by a narrow gravel road along a terrace high above the Kawarau River. The drive in is half the reason to go.

    Peregrine Wines

    The architectural landmark of Gibbston — a vast falcon-wing roof over the winery — pouring Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Riesling in the middle of the valley.

    Brennan Wines

    Small Gibbston producer on the Back Road, built for lingering: a self-guided or hosted tasting, a platter, and a game of petanque in the garden.

    #6

    Mt Rosa Wines

    Family-owned single-vineyard tasting room on the Gibbston Back Road, with an open fire in winter and a courtyard in summer — one of the few that is genuinely pleasant in any weather.

    Waitiri Creek @ The Gibbston Fine Beverage Co.

    One of Gibbston's founding labels, back after roughly seven years away — now pouring from the historic Waitiri Creek woolshed on the Back Road rather than the old church site many maps still point to.
