One of the most requested spaces on the property for a ceremony is ‘The Lawns’.

This couple chose the lush lawn of "Vine Lodge" for their ceremony. 

A versatile space which can accommodate an intimate party of loved ones or crowds of friends and family to come together to witness your union.

You have the opportunity to take your wedding party and photographer into the underground cellars, the winery itself for an industrial aesthetic as well as a pine plantation on the property.
