As one of the region’s founding wineries, our focus is always on handcrafting premium wines and honouring the traditions that have made us a world-renowned destination, since releasing Central Otago’s first commercial vintage in 1987. Our wine is unfined, unfiltered, and sustainably produced.
This commitment extends beyond our wine to every aspect of what we offer. Each element is crafted to be a unique and pure reflection of our ruggedly beautiful and incredibly diverse surroundings. We are inspired by the pursuit of good wine, good food, and what we like to call good living.

Our winemakers pour their passion and the alluring and unique characteristics of our vineyards into every bottle of Gibbston Valley Wine. From handpicking whole bunches of grapes to macerating fruit by foot, they use traditional and time-tested techniques to craft our award-winning range of premium varietals.
Located in the Gibbston and Bendigo sub-regions our vineyards are exceptionally individual within the stunning Central Otago region.
We value and respect our vineyards most of all. We have seven vineyards, two in Gibbston and five in Bendigo. Their intricate and diverse landscapes allow us to create wines that reflect the site they grow in. Everything from the soil type to altitude and temperatures during growing season impacts the flavours and aromas of our wine.

Learn about our rich winemaking history as one of Central Otago’s founding wineries.
Our legacy is rooted in the unbridled passion of a daring Irishman and his fearless approach to risk. In 1983, wine pioneer Alan Brady defied expectations by planting the region’s first vines 45 degrees south of the equator—a feat many thought impossible.
Today, Alan’s original Home Block Vineyard continues to thrive, producing award-winning vintages and proudly holding organic certification.
