The First Pour - 29th November 2025
The first taste of summer starts here.
Join us for The First Pour - Saturday 29th November, 2pm–4pm.
An afternoon of new releases, live music, and good company, all set inside a magical tipi at Kinross.
This year, we’re making it official. For the first time, The First Pour is a ticketed event - and trust us, it’s worth it.
Meet the makers behind our Kinross wines and partners Hawkshead, High Garden, Valli and Wild Irishman. Discover the people behind the wines - hear the stories, ask the questions, share a glass or two.
Enjoy the first tastes of the 12 new wine releases from Kinross and all our wine partners. You might find your new fave summer Sav, a BBQ perfect Rosé or a delicious Pinot Noir - from right here in Central Otago.
The tipi will be buzzing, the bistro will be alive with music, and the Kinross lawn will be calling. This is a celebration of what’s to come, and the best way to welcome summer in Gibbston.
Special offers will be available on the day, so if you fall in love with something in your glass, you can take it home too.
Transport is available:
$30 return from Queenstown
$20 return from Arrowtown
And the fun doesn’t end at 4pm, live music and food options continue in the bistro into the evening, so settle in and make a night of it.
Tickets are limited — book now to make sure you don’t miss the first pour.
