THE GROVE creates a stunning ceremony backdrop amongst the ornamental pear trees or the perfect setting for long table dining under the stars. The terraced lawn connects The Grove, Pavilion and Wine Cellar, and is ideal area for lawn games, canapés and pre-dinner drinks as the sun sets over the mountains.

CREEKSIDE ceremony locations are abundant at Stonehurst. Nestled amongst the casuarina trees, overlooking the stone causeway or on the edge of the riverbank in our new landscaped setting, the Creekside options provide a private and picturesque area for your vows.

THE COTTAGE VINEYARD is an unforgettable backdrop for ceremonies. Set on the edge of our Shiraz vineyards, this outdoor location overlooks the bush covered valley and soaring mountains of our 5th-generation estate.

THE PAVILION is a beautiful wet-weather ceremony location that also offers an open-air dining area. Purpose built, the Pavilion is set amongst the poplar trees and overlooks the flowing creek below.

THE WINE CELLAR offers an indoor, industrial-chic event space that can be styled to suit all celebrations. A converted warehouse, The Wine Cellar features 22-foot high ceilings with exposed steel beams, a barrel lined wall and handcrafted elephant doors, opening onto The Grove. From simple table vases to hanging floral installations, this is the perfect setting to create your beautifully personalised wedding.

The property’s seven private, self-contained vineyard cottages provide ideal accommodation for 28 guests, with many additional accommodation options in the area.

Each cottage is treated to a country breakfast hamper, complimentary port and chocolates, claw-foot or spa bath, wood fire and late check-out for all guests.

Stonehurst is a 5th generation farm, with Laura & Anthony the current custodians of the family property. On land granted to three Napoleonic War Veterans in the 1870s, we are incredibly proud of the estate we have cultivated over the years since our family took over the care of the land. Originally a cattle-grazing and fruit orchard farm, Stonehurst now includes organic vineyards, heritage-styled cottage accommodation, a sandstone Cellar Door and our indoor and outdoor wedding & event spaces.

We are so grateful this beautiful property has stayed within our family and that we can continue to share it’s beauty with you. With respect to the farm’s heritage, we have endless plans for Stonehurst in creating a unique and timeless venue to share for years to come.

We look forward to welcoming you!
