I love that you can sample the cheeses before deciding which ones you want for your platter! The staff are really friendly and helpful. The blue cheese is a MUST! So so so good, I wanted to buy some but was spending the day travelling in the car and didn't have the means to store it.

We loved everything about our stop at the cheesery. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the wine was delicious, and every element on the Mini Gourmet board was perfectly curated to work together. And excellent selection, prepared with attention and care. The price for two of us was likely less than if we had stopped in to a full restaurant, but we left very full and satisfied with our experience.

Our first trip to Arrowtown and we found this little gem. We ordered the special cheese platter and it exceeded our expectations. Great coffee & friendly service. Thanks

N. K.

A great place to be if you are a Cheese lover. I did cheese tasting for the first time and couldn't stop myself from ordering a cheese platter all to myself. It is served with choice of cheese, crackers and fresh fruit jam. Absolutely delicious! You can pick lots of assortments and have them on way.

J. R.

First off... the front staff was super friendly and helpful. They offer a small selection of cheeses for sampling. We tried their mini gourmet cheese platter which was great. They also have a winery in the premises which means the wine quality was very good. I would recommend you to come early as it gets busier as the day goes on. Overall, it was a great stop and if you like cheese you should give it a try.

Amazing place to have cheese rolls…. One of the best cheese rolls I have had so far❤️

C. A.

A wonderful pairing of cheese and wine. Very reasonably priced and generous with the size of cheese too. Friendly staff and water for you to also drink. Small gifts and sweets are available to purchase too. You can also take home your cheese in a bag if you dont eat all of it. Also do get the olives - they are extra but really good.

T. L.

Amazing, we had a cheese platter with 5 different cheeses and a baked double Brie absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Awesome setting will be back!

B. C.

Amazing little spot for cheese tasting, definitely stop at Gibbston Valley Cheese if you’re in the area. Recommend you try all you want before you settle on a triple cheese platter, and of course buy a little block (or two!) to take home for further snacking sessions 🤤

M. F.

Another regular place we love to visit when we're down this way. Beautiful setting, good coffee and yummy food. Unsurprisingly the food is cheese themed! Great selection of cheese and accompaniments for tasting.

G. F.

Great cheese! The service was excellent, they walked us through all the different cheese options, gave us tastes and it was a good price! (~$55 for the 2 person platter and 2 glasses of wine)

P. P.

Free cheese tasting and the lady in charge was very helpful, she explained what makes the cheeses unique from each other. Loved the blue cheese (not too strong) and the cumin gouda.

J. P.

Wow. We came on the Hop on Hop off bus. We had the beer tasting platter each and our friends the wine tasting. These were amazing,great value. Going back today for cheese rolls. Went back for the cheese rolls the next day. Amazing. Obviously the owner served us again. Best service in the whole of Arrowtown. The other stores there could take a good look at themselves.

K. F. t. C. N.

Loved calling in after our morning doggy walks. Dog friendly in outside seating area, great coffee, cheese scones and the best cheese rolls 😍☕🧀

J. R.

Delicious 👌. We stopped here as part of the Hop on hop off beer evening tour. Highly recommend the wine or beer and cheese pairings. Thank you so much Kevin.

A. S.

Wish I was hungrier to try more of the menu but the cheese roll was delicious. Lovely friendly staff also.

E. W.

Nice place to stop for lunch. Nice cheeses and ok wine. Friendly service but was dissapointed with the food. Mac n cheese took ages to arrive and I found it to be a bit bland. Asked for salt and pepper, pepper arrived after 5-10 mintutes. No salt though as the one salt shaker they apparently had just been dropped and broken by the staff on route to me. So I got to eat a bland and underwhelming and cold Mac n cheese due to the wait and lack of seasoning. Shame.

I. J.

Gibbston Valley really knows their cheese. The platter was so very delicious. It's fun to try all of the tasty samples in the shop too!

M. M.

If you enjoy cheese and wine then this is a must do. The cheese selection is great and mouth watering (cheese lovers). The platters are large enough for 2-3 people.

t. p.

Gibbston Gold. Guessing it was 4 + months mature. Dry and not alot of taste. Would have attached picture but no option too

T. W.

No local cheese, has changed from when I visited last time. Just not the same

K.

Fabulous... where to start... friendly obliging people serving... a wonderful spot to wile away your time sipping Otago wine and sampling delicious platters from the menu or custom created... (they make platters to go too)... we love it ... oh and awesome coffee and home made bakery for breakkie... and we have just found out that they are now serving a locally made "bubbles" with breakfast, yep... heaven!

E. B.

We tried 5 cheeses' tasting platter. Although not all types of cheeses are our favourite, it was a good experience. Platter has plenty of bread and crackers to complement cheese tasting. Staff was friendly.

J. L.

The restaurant does amazing set menun at a every good price. Delicious!

T. B.

This place has moved from their old location out at Gibbston Valley winery, but still offers the same delicious cheese! We love getting the baked brie, which comes with rosemary and bread for dipping- so good!

A. C.

Absolutely delicious food, the best cheese scone and macaroni cheese I've ever had! Really friendly, helpful staff too. Excellent range of cheeses and good that you're allowed tasters. Well worth a visit.

n. m.

Fantastic place to visit specially if you love cheese and wine. Customer service is great.

J. D.

The roast brie, one of my best lunches in my life.

J.

Lovely service and yummy selection of wine and cheese.

A. H.

Great place to stop off - amazing cheese which can be ordered with matching wine or beer

M. P.

Was recommended to come here and I'm not surprised why. Amazing pairing with the wine and cheese. Great value for money!

R. A.

A great platter of various cheeses, warm bread, dip with a glass of wine. Very enjoyable.

P. M.

Awesome cheeses, value for money, nice location, and wine! Perfect!

R. K.

That 5 cheese platter is a WOW in my books. Absolutely loved every bite. I'm definitely not sharing with my wife next time. She can buy her own platter.

B. W.

Delicious tasting session. Don't miss this if you're passing through Arrowtown. 🧀 😋

L.

They do cheese tastings and have a couple of really nice cheese platters to share. The 5 cheese platter was super filling and would probably be enough for 3 - 4 people. Nice atmosphere, knowledgeable staff and a great selection of cheese. I just wish they also sold the cheese loose instead of in those plastic packages.

J. C.

Excellent selection of high quality cheeses and pastes for sale in the shop, complimented with friendly and knowledgeable staff. We stopped here on the way to Christchurch and got a platter for two with three cheeses, some fruits, dips, chorizo and more - it was delicious and more than enough to tie us over til dinner, and we had a great time sitting outside, breathing in some fresh air and taking our time. I'd recommend the blue brie and some guava paste if you're looking to bring something with you to have later, with some of the range of crisp breads they have in stock 👍

H.

Well worth stopping off on the way out from Gibbston Valley Winery! Wonderful cheeses and amazing chutney and relish on offer. Can't rate the Brie unfortunately, White Stone Cheesery around the corner won best brie in my books. The pinot soaked cheddar was interesting, but our favourite cheese here had to be the garlic and chive gouda! Yum!!

T. C.

Loved the five cheeses available to taste, very friendly. Also other things like chutney and dressings can be tasted from other local providers. Right next door to winery as well. Cannot comment on food from restaurant.

T. v. D.

I'm not sure where the cheeses come from, but this spot makes for a nice spot to rest, grab a wine, some cheese, crackers and (surprisingly) excellent chutney. Was delightful.

(Translated) When we arrived, the store had already equipped for a fight. Although there are customers in the store. We also want to order a comprehensive cheese tray to sit down and have a relaxing time. Unfortunately, the store insists on rest and does not order food. But you can try it. So we can only take a look at the furnishings and goods sold in the store. Finally, I bought a blue cheese. I heard that this requires two months of fermentation and then implanted a special strain to ferment the cheese into blue. In the United Kingdom, Rest is a very expensive and expensive food. So we can't help but want to try a small piece of b&b to get the stuff. Sure enough, the feeling of eating is like the stinky tofu in Taiwan. The taste and taste are very special. After eating the end rhyme will return to Gan. The environment is not elegantly furnished. (Original) 我們到的時候，店家已經裝備收攤打烊。雖然店內還有客人在消費。我們也想點一份綜合起司盤來悠閒的坐著品嚐一下輕鬆時光，可惜店家堅持要休息了不在提供點餐。 但可以試吃。 於是我們只能約略的參觀一下店內的擺設與所販賣的商品。最後有買了一個藍起司🧀️。聽說這個需要發酵二個月以後再植入特殊菌株才能發酵變成藍色的起司。在英國的卻思特是屬於很高級有價貴的食物。於是我們也免不了的想要嚐鮮的買了一小塊回 b&b 去開伙加料。果不其然，吃起來的感覺就好像我們台灣的臭豆腐一樣，味道與口感，都非常的特殊有感。吃完尾韻會回甘。 環境不大佈置優雅。

(Translated) Various cheeses can be sampled and it is very delicious. Especially cheese made from sheep milk is exquisite. Please try it. (Original) いろいろなチーズが試食も出来て、とても美味しいです。特にシープミルクから作られたチーズは絶品です。是非お試し下さい。

(Translated) If you stop, you chop. A nice little place near Queenstown where you get to try their cheeses, some very rich. If you are 15 'I recommend that you stop. (Original) Si paras, picas. Un sitio pequeño y agradable cerca de Queenstown donde te dan a probar sus quesos, algunos muy ricos. Si tienes 15' te recomiendo que pares.

(Translated) So good Various cheeses and wines, beer .. (Original) 너무 좋아요 다양한 치즈와 와인에 맥주까지..

(Translated) Good place to have some wines and a cheese board. Near the bungee jumping or you can get from Arrowtown by bike. (Original) Buen lugar para tomar unos vinos y una tabla de quesos. Cerca del puenting o puedes llegar desde Arrowtown en bici.
