Gibbston Winery Ride
Book Now →This is our most popular ride by far – and with good reason! The trail starts in Arrowtown at our Dudley’s cottage base. You’ll meander down the Arrow River, crossing back and forth as the shallow river morphs into a deep gorge. Every part of this ride is iconic, with grand views and impressive structures (an 80-meter swing bridge!).
On this trail, the ride is only half the fun as your destination is the famous Gibbston Wine Region. Stop for a tasting at any one of the amazing wineries and maybe complement with a meal prepared from delicious local produce. Relax at these beautiful places as you take in the scenery – you’ve earned it! Cruise back when you’re ready, or our shuttle service is only a phone call away.

Food & Drink Venues on Gibbston Winery Ride
The Dishery – Dudley’s Cottage
We are based here at Dudley’s Cottage and our neighbours at The Dishery certainly know how to make a good coffee. This is a great spot for a light breakfast or lunch, gold panning and souvenirs made in NZ.
Gibbston Valley Winery
This is a great spot for a slightly more formal sit-down restaurant option. We recommend having tastings at your table, as it’s a more personalised experience. It pays to book here during the summer season as it can get quite busy.

Probably our favourite family spot for a relaxed lunch. No bookings needed. The wood fired pizza, craft beers and wines go down a treat.

Kinross is the must-visit location for lovers of great Pinot noir, as it is the official Cellar Door for 5 local boutique wineries. Our favourite Pinot noir is here and it’s called Wild Irishman.
