Most couples marry outdoors on the rise above the vines, looking across the valley towards the sea.

Set the room for long tables or a standing reception that spills outside. There's a quiet room just off the reception space for the two of you to catch your breath. Music finishes at 11pm.

The rooms
Seven rooms, each with its own ensuite.
The residence
A chalet for the family or the wedding party
Three queen bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a full kitchen and a barbecue outside, looking through the gorge to the gulf.
Staying for an event
Breakfast together the morning after
Rooms go to the wedding party and event guests first. A cooked breakfast is part of the stay. In winter, there's an open fire to sit by.
Food and drink
Food people remember long after the party
Seasonal, local and generous, whether it's canapés on the terrace, shared plates down a long table or a sit-down dinner.

Cocktail
Roaming canapés and substantial bites, so guests can mingle inside and out.
Long table
Shared dishes passed down the table, the way a long lunch should be.
Sit-down dinner
Plated courses for a more formal evening.
The estate
A working vineyard on the edge of the gorge
Rows of vines run to the edge of the Onkaparinga Gorge, with the valley and Gulf St Vincent beyond. At the heart of the estate stands an ironstone chapel built in 1865.
