Balgownie deck, lawn, or marquee, each offering magical vineyard and Yarra Valley views just metres from your reception space
The centrepiece of your classic winery wedding reception is our Melba room, flooded with natural light, bifold glass doors for alfresco entertaining, and romantic views of our Pinot Noir vineyard and the Yarra Valley beyond.
A beautiful Balgownie Wedding comes packed with gorgeous photo opportunities on site; here are our Top 7!
1 – The Edge, perched on the North Western peak of our walking trail and less than a 10min stroll from either end of the resort, this lookout features uninterrupted YV views and is also close by the beauty of our Chardonnay vineyards which slope towards a backdrop of rolling hills. A clever photographer could make it look like you’re on a cliffs edge here. Windy at times, and we recommend wearing flats for the stroll that is steep at points.
2 – Picnic point, just a 5min uphill stroll from the Marquee you’ll reach a picnic table at one of our lookout vantage points featuring magical Yarra Valley and resort views. Depending on the season, explore endless opportunities for those photos amongst long grass, or epic group shots with your wedding party on the grassy slopes. Weather permitting, capture the changing colours of the sky across the horizon.
3 – The Deck showcases our best backdrop of Pino Noir Vineyards against a horizon of mountains. Our most popular ceremony hot spot by far, and when the sun begins to set and guests have retreated inside your reception, sneak out to pose on the balustrading against an orange, pink and purple sky reflecting off the restaurant windows – also a fantastic spot your photographer can capture group shots of your guests gathered below.
4 – Tunnel of love, is a staircase nestled between our Decastella and Gardiner resort buildings. During our peak wedding season this staircase is encased in a canopy of leaves. Extra lucky couples may even capture a rare sighting of pink blossoms in full bloom here. Ideal for cheeky reveals, angelic silhouettes or timeless romantic kisses in the light at the end of the tunnel.
5 – Stone archway, located outside of Natskin Day Spa and the resort pool entrance, the rendered walls set the scene for beautiful black and white photos. Hand in hand or embracing one another. And just 30m from the restaurant entrance.
6 – Rose garden, located outside our Gardiner resort building with a natural leafy green wall, and during peak wedding season surrounded in red roses. So much potential for winning newlywed, bridal party, or prized shots with close family and friends.
7 – Sunset highway – Gulf road fronts our restaurant where nothing beats the blurred white lines, dusty edges, and grassy nature strips against a backdrop of setting sun, and neighbouring vineyard properties. Clever couples snap the golden sunshine strategically positioned between them in the heat of a newly-wed fairy-tale kiss.
