"A charming little church turned café with a lovely pastoral setting and a nostalgic vibe. Also, this was the best fish and chips I’ve had in New Zealand - the salad was absolutely delicious."

OUR WINES
Stronsay Chardonnay
Grown right here at The Church, Stronsay Chardonnay is our homeblock wine, made from grapes grown on site. It’s a true taste of our little corner of Central Otago, from vineyard to bottle.
You’ll find our wine available to enjoy at The Church or take home with you.
Big Days. Great People. One very good setting.
From intimate weddings to private celebrations and corporate events, The Church offers a beautiful, relaxed space to gather.

My favorite cellar door and cafe in the Gibbston Valley. The views the property offer are stunning and relaxing. One could spend all day just relaxing here. The food and wine is also great and definitely leave you feeling full and happy.

Such a beautiful setting and relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious, fresh and satisfying. Great service from the friendly staff. With cider and beers on tap, what more could you ask for? Do yourself a favour and drop in if you’re passing.
