John Gehrig Wines Turns 50

The John Gehrig Wines 50th Birthday Celebration marks a significant milestone for one of the King Valley’s long-standing family wineries, bringing together friends, customers and the wider community to honour five decades of winemaking tradition. Held on Saturday 23 May 2026 at their Gooramadda vineyard in Gooramadda, the evening event runs from 6:00 pm to 10:30 pm and offers a refined yet relaxed setting to celebrate this special occasion in the heart of the High Country.

Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated three-course dinner by Pinchos Catering Wodonga, paired with the winery’s selection of wines that reflect their journey since their beginnings in 1976 in the King Valley. The celebration highlights the story of a family business that has grown over generations, now operating two cellar doors and continuing to build on its legacy. With a semi-formal dress code, the event brings a touch of elegance while maintaining the warm, welcoming atmosphere that has always been central to the winery’s identity.

More than just a dinner, the 50th birthday celebration is an opportunity to reflect on the people, partnerships and loyal supporters who have contributed to the winery’s success over the years. It is a fitting tribute to a proud history of craftsmanship, community and connection in the Victorian wine region.
