Gibbston is a community in the Wakatipu Basin in the Otago region of the South Island, New Zealand.

The most visible aspect of the area are the vineyards and wineries next to SH 6 which form part of the Central Otago wine region.

This northerly aspect greatly assists vineyards to grow grapes because of increased sunlight and with a reduced possibility of frost, although this still poses a significant threat.

It was voted community of the year in 2011 due to the work on the Gibbston River Trail.

[2] Gibbston is part of the Outer Wakatipu statistical area, which covers 1,862.92 km2 (719.28 sq mi)[3] and surrounds but does not include Queenstown and Arrowtown.
