The cellar door at Gisborne Peak Winery is fun, casual and informative. Tutored tastings are offered free of charge (groups 10+ excepted) and we invite you to taste our wines and understand our passion. We are off the beaten track, on the road less travelled. Once you find us, you’ll be back.
Share a bottle, or just enjoy a glass, with family and friends on the open-air deck, all-weather verandas or the cosy fireside room. During most of the year you can even sit in the beautiful amphitheater of the vineyard and look at the vines. They are beautiful in every season. Hungry? Check out the food menu below.

In 1976 the first 12 acres of the Mawarra Vineyard property was purchased, a windswept block of what was once part of a cattle property, with only eight living trees on it.
The first planting of grapes in 1978 was a hobby block of Sylvaner Riesling vines. Later these were grafted or replaced with Pinot Noir. This old block of Pinot is alongside the drive and car park along the entrance road to the cellar-door centre.
By 1980 the vineyard bug had got to vigneron Bob Nixon's imagination and the planting frenzy began. Bit by bit, the area has grown to now cover nearly 13.5 acres of what is now an 18-acre property through extra land being purchased adjoining the original block.
