Gibbston Valley Self-Guided Wine Tour: Drive or Bike Audio

About This Experience

Drive Gibbston Valley yourself, with a GPS audio guide that plays automatically as you go. Your booking unlocks the whole region in the free Wine Trails app: pick your date and starting point , most travellers set off from Queenstown, Arrowtown or Cromwell , choose the cellar doors you want, and the app builds your personal route with turn-by-turn narration. 59 stories cover 17 cellar doors strung along the Kawarau Gorge: as you pass Gibbston Valley Wines you'll hear how the first vines went in during 1981, when viticulturists said Pinot Noir could not ripen this far south , and how every vine in the Central Otago basin beyond the gorge traces back to that decision. No group, no schedule, no guide , pause for a long lunch, replay anything, and the audio keeps working when the signal drops in the gorge. You'll need a car and a designated driver; tastings are booked and paid directly with the wineries.
