About St Francis Winery
St Francis Winery sits on five acres in Old Reynella, in Adelaide's south, built around a winery building that dates from about 1852. The grounds look over Lake Carew Reynell, and the property also has guest rooms, an indoor pool and Walter's Bistro. The Main Vines Room is the main function space, a self-contained hall with high timber-beamed ceilings, original arched windows, a fireplace, a lounge area, its own bar and a dance floor. It seats up to 120 guests or holds 180 for a cocktail event. The Cellar Room sits at the centre of the building, with pendant lighting, exposed beams and a private bar, and suits 80 seated or 120 standing. Outdoors, the Pavilion seats 60 under open rafters, and the lawns beside the lake take marquees, garden cocktail parties and ceremonies. Across all spaces, the venue can host events of up to 250 people. Weddings are its main trade, with ceremony set-ups on the lawn or by the pond, and the historic rooms are also booked for conferences and corporate functions. The kitchen offers alternate drop set menus, shared banquets and cocktail platters, and drinks run on timed packages, a bar tab or a cash bar. Wedding packages bundle canapés, courses, the cake served as dessert and a drinks package.
