About This Tour

A private tour for your group only, chauffeured by a real specialist wine guide, to 3 real cellar doors and New Zealand's genuine largest wine cave. This is a private tour for your group only, chauffeured by a real specialist wine guide. Real stops include 3 of the best cellar doors and New Zealand's genuine largest wine cave, at Gibbston Valley.

The real wine cave this tour visits belongs to Gibbston Valley Winery, Central Otago's founding producer. Its Home Block vineyard was planted in 1983 by Alan Brady, one of a small handful of people — alongside Rolf and Lois Mills at Rippon in Wanaka and Sue Edwards and Verdun Burgess at Black Ridge near Alexandra — who began planting grapes commercially in the region in the early 1980s, almost all independently of one another. Gibbston Valley's first Pinot Noir release, in 1987, is generally recognised as the region's first commercial vintage, which makes this specific cave and vineyard a genuine starting point for the entire modern Central Otago wine industry, not just one stop among many.

The wine cave itself is a real, carved space built into the hillside: visitors are greeted by racks holding several hundred barrels of maturing Pinot Noir along the walls, and a guided tasting of three varietals is paired with a walk through the Home Block vineyard where it all started.

Gibbston Valley, the sub-region the cave sits in, is a narrow schist gorge following the Kawarau River — a markedly different microclimate from the open Cromwell Basin the tour's other cellar doors sit in, cooler and more sheltered, which is part of why it was the first part of Central Otago to be planted. The tour's chauffeured specialist wine guide can speak to that contrast directly between stops rather than leaving it to a generic tasting-room script.

Beyond the cave, the itinerary's three cellar doors round out a real cross-section of the region: expect a mix of cool-climate Pinot Noir and whites from estates founded across the 1980s and 1990s pioneer era, each with its own small, specific story rather than a single corporate house style.
