Gibbston Valley Wines - Winery Tour

Unfortunately, my visit to Gibbston Valley was quite disappointing. I had high expectations based on the reputation of this vineyard, but the experience fell short in almost every way. No Real Tour – Just a Tasting: Despite being marketed as a tour, what we actually received was just a wine and cheese tasting. There was no tour of the vineyard, winery, or cellar, and absolutely no behind-the-scenes insights into the winemaking process, which was a major letdown. The whole experience felt very commercialized, and it didn’t live up to the immersive experience we were hoping for. Expensive and Not Worth It: The experience was overpriced for what was offered. We paid a premium price, but in return, we only got a few small pours of wine and some cheese, with little explanation or effort from the staff to make it feel special. For what they charge, I expected much more, including a proper tour and better service. Commercialized Feel: The whole thing felt very commercialized. The personal touch and passion you expect from a boutique vineyard were missing. Instead, it felt like we were just another group shuffled through quickly, with little care or attention to making it a memorable experience. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this experience. It’s overpriced and lacks the depth and personal touch that you would expect from a vineyard visit. If you’re expecting a true tour or insight into winemaking, you’ll be left disappointed. You can get much better wine-tasting experiences elsewhere in the region.

Very informative tour and tasting. We had e-bikes and also went to 2 other wineries in the area. We all had a great day out.

Such an amazing experience! The staff were so friendly and accomodating and our tour guide Zach was super knowledgeable and very happy to answer all of our questions. We loved the selection of wine we tasted and it was really interesting learning about the winery. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would happily go again! 100% recommend!!
