About Tatachilla Estate

Tatachilla Estate is a restored heritage winery on Tatachilla Road in McLaren Vale. The old stone buildings of the Tatachilla winery, more than a century old, now host weddings, private parties, corporate functions and community events. The grounds give plenty of choice outdoors, with ceremony spots beneath century-old pines, rose gardens and open lawns. A styled marquee is an option, and the JG Kelly Residence on the estate doubles as a place to get ready before a wedding. Indoors, the historic halls take events of every size, from 50 guests up to 750 for large showcase events. Keystone Hall is the reception room for weddings, and the main hall is regularly dressed with festoon lights, long tables and a dance floor for birthdays and presentation nights. Catering can be grazing tables, cocktail-style canapés, shared feasts or plated dining, and couples can pick from recommended suppliers. Wedding receptions start with the Heritage package of canapés or grazing tables with bar service, while the Estate package moves to seated dining with pre-dinner canapés. DJs, acoustic acts and curated playlists are all welcome within standard noise limits. There is parking on site for cars and buses, and indoor spaces cover a wet-weather backup for outdoor plans.
