About Waitiri Creek
Reservations required · Open every day, 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM
One of Gibbston Valley's original wineries, Waitiri Creek has been hand-harvesting grapes since 1993 and crafting distinctive Pinot Noirs and Pinot Gris that taste as good as the company feels. Their cellar door sits in a historic woolshed where you can taste wines, grab light meals, and soak up that warm, lively banter they're known for.
