Christmas Party Venues in Southern Barossa

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year parties in Southern Barossa come down to Lyndoch or Altona. Lyndoch's two venues cater in-house and split into separate rooms, while Altona's Rosado hands you an open site for a staff party you style and cater yourself.

How the two localities compare for a December function:

Lyndoch suits a team that wants the venue to run the food: 1837 Barossa and The Lord Lyndoch both write function menus.
Altona suits a party with its own caterer and theme: Rosado has lawns, rubble areas and pastel pink buildings, and tables can go anywhere.
For 150 guests under cover, 1837 Barossa's Colonel Light Plaza is the Lyndoch choice.
For a self-contained party with its own bar, The Lord Lyndoch's Cellar has a separate entrance.
Rosado lists Christmas parties among its eight-hour event hires, each carrying a minimum spend.

1837 Barossa's Club Room has a laser projector or mobile screen and videoconferencing, if the day includes a wrap-up talk.
The Lord Lyndoch can join its Bistro and Green Room for 70 seated or 90 standing.
Both Lyndoch venues tailor drinks packages, and The Lord Lyndoch also offers a bar tab.
Larger events at 1837 Barossa need council approval, so give numbers early.
