About Sinclair's Gully

Sinclair's Gully is a small family winery on Colonial Drive at Norton Summit in the Adelaide Hills. The vineyard and cellar door sit inside a private 20-acre nature sanctuary of candlebark gums, and the owners have run it since 1997. Weddings here are small and relaxed. Couples marry on the deck or among the trees, then hold the reception around the cellar door, the covered patio, the pergola and the lawn. The five-hour micro wedding hire gives exclusive use of the forest setting, cellar door, patio, deck and lawn for up to 60 guests, any day of the week. A six-hour ceremony and reception hire, a three-hour ceremony hire and two-hour elopements are also offered, and all-inclusive pop-up packages run up to 80 guests. Couples can book their own caterer or use the mobile caterers the venue refers, from spit roasts and paella to grazing tables, cocktail food and sit-down meals. Ceremony chairs, a signing barrel and three toilets are provided, while barrels, an arbour, festoon lighting, a PA and a marquee can be hired. Sinclair's Gully holds a liquor licence and pours its own sparkling, white and red wines plus beer and soft drinks, with no BYO alcohol. Bar service can run on a tab or be charged on consumption, and venue and bar staff are an extra cost.
