Huge range of food to suit everyone! Pizza, burgers, pasta, salads, tacos, noodles…what else? You want it, it’s there!
- Beautiful Gibbston Setting
The Church, Gibbston is a premium event site located in “The Valley of the Vines” NZ’s world class Pinot Noir pioneering subregion.
getting there
Postioned in the beautiful wine region of Gibbston, just a short drive from Queenstown, there a many ways to get to the big day.
We have put extra planning in to making it a smooth day for all involved on the road to The Valley
The best and easiest way to get to The Valley is with our friends at Go Bus.
They have made booking your bus easy so you can sit back and relax …..
- Now, knowing you don’t have to worry on the day,
- On Jan 24th when you are sitting back either pumped with energy for a big day or resting after a huge day dancing in the fields of The Church
