Gambellara is a town in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, Italy. It is north west of European route E70.

Gambellara is a small town known for its wine production. The area has two DOC classified wines, Gambellara classico and Recioto de Gambellara. The Recioto is also often made in a sparkling, vat-fermented, version,.

The vineyards are dominated by Garganega grapes pruned in the traditional "Veronese pergola" system, though a few producers have recently changed to more modern systems. Most wineyards are cultivated on steep hills with terraces.
