Gibson Wines — Attraction in Light Pass

The approach to Gibson Wines is nothing but a truely Australian experience - a dusty road, surrounded by an abundance of beautiful vines, original rusty farm gates & huge gum trees that could tell a story or two & then, as you turn into Gibson there it is - Smithy Cottage in its original glory. Smithy Cottage has its own special story & its namesake wine 'The Smithy' Shiraz Cabernet is a must to add to your cellar. However, the 'Dirtman' Shiraz was what originally led us to make the trip from Melbourne to The Barossa. We regularly enjoy this hearty & moreish drop at our local wine bar 'Corked' & we were intrigued to visit its birthplace. The cellar door experience is intimate & unassuming. The staff are friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable & I highly recommend pre booking a tasting for the best experience. Australia has so many amazing wineries to experience & support, but if you are looking for 5 star wines in an unpretentious setting, then a visit to Gibson Wines is a must. Spoilt for choice, you won't want to leave empty handed. Gibson Wines is definitely an old favourite of mine & I believe every bottle captures the passion of the wine...

Erica is a gun and managed 3 groups of inquisitive tasters with ease. She even managed to laugh at our attempt at a joke. Our group had our first and only unanimous liking of the same wine here with the “Dirtman”. That didn’t stop us from grabbing another yummy wine for ourselves though. A great locally owned and operated vineyard in the Barossa. Thank you, Erica, for being an amazing host and tolerated of a bunch of loud Melbournians. In summary, brilliant wines and an excellent cellar door experience. We...

My husband and I were exploring Barossa Valley and stopped here per a recommendation given in Hahndorf. It was our favorite winery by far! They take great pride in their wines and are incredibly friendly. Although it was busy they still spent quality time with each table to discuss the wines. They had typical and uniques wines to The Valley, but the Vintage Vineyard wines were exceptional and delicious. They have many options that would accommodate any wine drinkers palette. Janene and Mat made it such a pleasant experience, that we came back the next day for a bottle and sat outside overlooking the vineyard with a cheese platter we purchased at a local market. I...
