Nestled at the entrance to Gibbston, the famous 'Valley of Vines,' Winehouse is a charming historic homestead surrounded by Central Otago’s stunning mountain scenery. This venue beautifully combines pastoral heritage with relaxed elegance, offering lush, well-kept grounds that shine in every season—from vibrant summer blooms to the warm hues of autumn. If you’re looking for a private, romantic spot where everything you need is right on site, Winehouse is an ideal choice.
Winehouse offers a variety of spaces to suit your wedding style and ensure your day flows smoothly, rain or shine. Say “I do” outdoors on the spacious croquet lawn, framed by gardens and vineyard views. If the weather calls for it, or you prefer an indoor setting, the beautifully restored 19th-century villa and the elegant Pavilion are perfect alternatives.
The Pavilion is the heart of the reception, featuring a tented roof and a large stone fireplace. Its clever indoor-outdoor design includes an awning wall that opens to breathtaking mountain views. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering of 30 guests or a lively celebration with up to 250, this venue can accommodate your needs comfortably.
Designed as a self-contained venue, Winehouse offers plenty of stunning backdrops for your wedding photos—from historic architecture to natural landscapes. For a truly unique touch, arrive by helicopter using the on-site helipad. Booking exclusive use means your celebration is completely private. Plus, an experienced event manager and professional team will be on hand to keep everything running smoothly, so you can focus on enjoying your special day.
All catering is handled by Queenstown Catering, Winehouse’s exclusive partner, known for fresh, seasonal menus that highlight local flavors. They cater to a variety of dietary needs and dining styles, including canapés, plated dinners, and shared platters.
