Kinross is our second stop and a fantastic location to try a range of different wines across multiple labels. Along with producing their own wines, their cellar door host will also showcase wines from smaller producers and share their incredible stories of how they came to be. After your wine tasting, we allow extra time to enjoy lunch. Kinross has a range of delicious dishes on its menu, including pizzas, platters, smaller bites, and mains. This is ordered and paid directly on the day, giving you the flexibility to order what you would like based on your taste and budget.

We finish our tasting tour at Waitiri Creek Wines, a picturesque spot housed in a beautifully refurbished woolshed on scenic Gibbston Back Road. This is the tasting room for Waitiri Creek Wines, a family-owned vineyard with roots tracing back to the Gold Rush era. While they didn’t strike literal gold, a century later they believe they’ve created something even better - exceptional wines that capture the spirit of the region. Come and experience them for yourself.
