Gladstones to showcase Western Australia's best drops



Perth's Crown complex is to gain a new wine bar.

Construction is underway on Crown Perth’s latest venue - a premium wine bar celebrating Western Australia’s rich wine heritage.

The wine bar will be named as a tribute to Dr. John Gladstones AO, whose pioneering research identified Margaret River’s potential as one of the world’s great wine-producing regions.

Located between Crown Towers and Crown Metropol, Gladstones "will be an intimate and luxurious space for hotel guests, visitors and theatregoers, seating around 50 people".

The "carefully curated" wine list (aren't they alll?) will highlight Western Australia’s award-winning producers alongside a selection of glob wine choices.

Guests will also have the opportunity to treat themselves to a limited list of premium quality drops and outstanding vintages by the glass.

Crown Perth CEO Brian Pereira said the venue is both a fitting nod to the past, while celebrating the vibrancy and diversity of the state’s wine culture now.

“Gladstones will offer a truly exceptional experience for our guests, showcasing the best wines Western Australia and the world have to offer - while still being accessible to anyone celebrating a night out or a special occasion at Crown.”

Dr. Gladstones’ daughter, Helen Gladstones, said she was proud of her father’s legacy and to see his influence recognised.

“It’s lovely to see Crown recognising what he did - not loudly and not with fanfare - but with quiet conviction.

“That seed he planted changed the future of wine growing in our state, laying the groundwork for something much bigger than himself. I know he’d be quietly delighted to see how far it’s come.”
