Our Gibbston Cellar Door is housed in the former stone stables of the 1860s Gibbston Hotel, once a resting point for miners travelling between Queenstown and Cromwell during the gold-rush era.

Carefully restored, the historic building is now home to Monte Christo Winery in Gibbston, with a refurbished interior, fireside seating and covered outdoor patio. 

Stop in for a wine tasting, stay for a glass of wine or local beer on tap, or settle in with a gourmet platter.
