Outside the picturesque village of Light Pass sits a hidden treasure – an original mid-nineteenth-century settler’s cottage and the cellar door of Gibson Wines. Producing quality, award-winning wines from the rammed red earth of northern Barossa Valley, Gibson Wines attributes its modern success to its rich historical heritage.

A winemaker with a wealth of experience, Rob Gibson established Gibson Wines in 1995. Now, with vineyards in Light Pass and Eden Valley, Gibson Wines produces twelve wines per year and specialises in shiraz and merlot. Other varieties include riesling and pinot gris, as well as botrytis sémillon, nero d’avola, tempranillo, zinfandel, montepulciano and fiano in the exciting Discovery Road range.

Nestled next to the Isabelle vineyard, the Gibson Wines cellar door is a modern, family-friendly site that features a pétanque court, hopscotch and toys for children.

Six times per year, Gibson Wines holds its Sunday Funday event; a relaxed afternoon full of music, food and wine, which is a must-see for visitors in the area. For those seeking a casual afternoon, the winery encourages visitors to cook their own fare on its barbecue facilities, free of charge. Locally produced chutneys, sauces and olive oils are also available for purchase at the cellar door.

Gibson Wines is a 5-star-rated winery with the Barossa Trust Mark for its Old Vine Barossa Shiraz. Having also been rated as a 5-star winery in the Halliday Wine Companion, Gibson Wines has etched its importance in the Barossa Valley wine region.
