Winehouse is an exclusive-hire wedding and event venue in Gibbston Valley, about 20 minutes from Queenstown Airport in Central Otago. It is built around a restored 1940s villa and grounds, with mountain views, an orchard, paddocks and a outlook towards the Kawarau River.
The main space is the Winehouse Pavilion, an indoor/outdoor structure with a choice of clear or canvas roofing. It holds 150 guests comfortably and can be extended to 250. The villa retains heritage features such as French doors, wooden panelling and a wooden dance floor, and there are terrace, lawn and orchard areas for mingling. The venue's website also mentions a Whisky Den and a helipad for scenic flights. Its site states it can host a cocktail function for 300 guests.
Catering is provided by Queenstown Catering, with seated or informal menus using local produce. The in-house team coordinates vendors and event logistics. With exclusive hire and no neighbouring buildings, the venue offers privacy.
Winehouse suits gala dinners, cocktail functions and team-building days for small to mid-sized groups wanting a vineyard-region setting outside town. Check transport and weather contingency (the pavilion roof helps) when planning. See more Queenstown venues.
