Gibson Wines in Australia's Top 10
There are awards that recognise the wine in the bottle. Then there are the ones that recognise everything that happens around it.
We are incredibly proud to share that Gibson Wines has been named among the Top 10 winery experiences in Australia in the 2027 Halliday Wine Companion People’s Choice Award.
More than 8,000 votes were cast by wine lovers across Australia, making this recognition particularly special. This one came from you.
More Than a Cellar Door
For us, a visit to Gibson has never been about simply standing at a tasting bench.
It is about sharing the Barossa we know and love. Sitting down over a glass of wine. Hearing the stories behind the vineyards. Meeting the characters who make Gibson what it is. And hopefully leaving feeling a little more like a friend than a visitor.
From tastings and winery experiences to events on the lawns, every part of what we do is built around connection, generosity and good old fashioned Barossa hospitality.
To know that our visitors value that experience enough to vote for us means an enormous amount.
Among Some Wonderful Company
The 2027 Top 10 brings together winery experiences from across Australia, from small family run producers to some of the country's best known wine destinations.
We're particularly proud to see the Barossa represented so strongly, and to stand alongside businesses doing wonderful things for wine tourism around Australia.
Congratulations to Down The Rabbit Hole in McLaren Vale, who were named the 2027 People's Choice Award winner. Gibson Wines took out the top spot of the People's Choice Award in 2025.
This One Belongs to You
2026 also marks 30 years of Gibson Wines.
For three decades, people have walked through our doors, shared bottles around our tables, brought friends and family back to visit and become part of the wider Gibson story.
Being named in Australia's Top 10 during our 30th year feels particularly meaningful.
So, to everyone who took the time to cast a vote for Gibson, thank you.
And to everyone who has visited our little corner of Light Pass over the years, thank you for being part of it.
The wines might bring you through the door. It's the people who make Gibson what it is.
