Welcome to Gibbston Valley Wines

The Perfect Wine and Food Experience

Our menu has been designed to complement our range of wines and to introduce a wide variety of flavours and the best of ingredients sourced locally and internationally.

Food and wine matching is a very rewarding and subjective experience.  We know it!  On the menu we have made some suggestions, but we encourage you to be adventurous - explore your own tastes and choose from the exciting combinations available.

Bon appétit!

My winter menu is based on a Mediterranean style of eating.  These dishes are served "racion" style which means to share.  The racion dishes are designed to share amongst two or more people.  Everyone shares the experience. 

The Food… The Wine… The Company…
