Christmas Party Venues in the Adelaide Hills

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year venues in the Hills range from a tutored tasting room at Balhannah to pubs in Stirling and Mount Barker that take well over 100. The deciding factor is usually format: a seated tasting lunch, a team-building day at a winery or a stand-up party with a bar.

Matching the work Christmas to a town:

Balhannah's Shaw + Smith sets aside part of its Tasting Room for 10 to 60, with a tutored tasting at every event.
Hahndorf offers The Lane Vineyard's Valley Room, used for client lunches and Christmas parties, and Sidewood Estate's enclosed deck.
Stirling and Mount Barker have pubs with presentation gear: The Stirling Hotel's Terrace and The Barker Hotel's Lounge Bar with screens.
Verdun's Greenhouse @ Grünthal Brew lets the host cap the bar tab by total, price or type.
Macclesfield's Longview Vineyard and Nairne's Howard Vineyard both host corporate Christmas events.

The Lane Vineyard runs team activities such as a blend-your-own-wine competition, with Wi-Fi and AV hire.
Shaw + Smith builds a tutored tasting into every function, so the learning is part of the event.
For a straight party, The Barker Hotel's Lounge Bar holds 130 for cocktails with fireplaces and a cordless microphone.
Howard Vineyard can add live music, a cocktail bar or a wine tasting to a private function.
