Gladstone Vineyard

Gladstone Vineyard is one of the most beautiful vineyards in New Zealand, situated on the old riverbed terrace of the Ruamahanga River. The Gladstone district in the Wairarapa is a fast growing wine area, as winemakers realise the potential of soil and climate that produce low yielding rich concentrated grapes.

Established in 1986, Gladstone Vineyard has been owner operated by Christine and David Kernohan since February 1996. Both born in Glasgow, Scotland, they emigrated to New Zealand nearly 30 years ago. Christine is Chief Winemaker and Managing Director while David is an Architect, running his own business, Architecture Diagnostics, from the vineyard.

There are 10 acres of vines on the home blocks. A further 25 acres of vines planted at nearby Dakins Road in 2001 started producing in 2004.

Since its inception, Gladstone Vineyard has been a member of the New Zealand Sustainable Winegrowing programme, focusing on best practice environmental practices in winegrape production. Gladstone is an accredited vineyard and winery.
