Yarra Valley Weddings & Receptions

The Big Day

Ours is a space for all kinds of weddings, from the classically beautiful, to the whimsical and creative, the rustic, vintage or farm style bash. The setting is lyrical, the food is sophisticated yet wholesome, and always made with love … specially created to match a stunning wine list and the sound of a hundred clinking glasses.

The Barrel Room – A generous space surrounded by walls of beautiful oak barrels, underneath a ceiling of twinkly fairy lights, the ultimate in unique ceremony spaces.

The Sandstone Gazebo – Exchange your vows under the ancient vine covered gazebo, this beautiful outdoor space on the lawn boasts the vineyards as the backdrop.

The Forever Chapel – Known for it’s quaint exterior and romantic setting with traditional pews. Ideal for up to 70 seated, the chapel is steeped in history and ceremonial wisdom. A few steps away, a Secret Garden completes the picture, with a bridge over the gentle creek and flower draped pools.

The Barrel Room is pared back in it’s decor allowing you to add your own personal style to it, we can even suggest a few local trusted suppliers to help bring your vision to life. We’ll create a space for you to dance among walls lined with French Oak Barrels that create a wonderful smell and a unique backdrop for your choice of acoustics. Ideal for seated receptions for up to 60 with a dancefloor, or a cocktail style soiree for up to 100.

The Restaurant is perfect for larger receptions of up to 180 seated or 150 with a dancefloor, featuring cathedral ceilings, a show-stopping chandelier, huge windows over-looking the vineyards, and the radiant warmth of a large open fireplace.

For the perfect winery wedding reception, both the Barrel Room and Restaurant can accommodate traditional round tables, or family style feasting tables, depending on your style preferences.
