About Howard Vineyard

Howard Vineyard is a winery and cellar door on Bald Hills Road at Nairne in the Adelaide Hills. Its grounds take in vineyards, year-round gardens and a heritage stone barn, and the on-site restaurant is Clover and Stone. The winery offers two ways to celebrate. Group bookings suit 15 to 50 guests who want a set-aside area during normal opening hours, without needing the venue to themselves. Private functions give you exclusive use of the whole venue, with special opening hours if needed. Packages are built around the event and can add live music, a cocktail bar or a wine tasting. The team hosts work presentation nights, corporate strategy days, Christmas parties, birthdays, baby shower and christening gatherings, school formals and sports presentation nights. Food and drink packages are put together to match the guest list and style. Weddings have been part of the venue for more than ten years. Ceremonies take place beneath a large oak tree overlooking the vines, guests move into the gardens for canapes and estate wines, and the reception follows in the stone barn. Wedding menus can be choice mains, alternate drop, shared platters or cocktail-style, and the team handles set-up and pack down on the day.
