About Rustic Shearing Shed @ Irvine Wines
Irvine Wines is a family winery with its cellar door on Valley Road in Angaston, on a home block where Shiraz was first planted in 1867. Its function space is a weathered shearing shed set among the family's vineyards in Eden Valley. Inside, the shed keeps its original timber panels, open rafters and wooden floor, with ceiling fans and a slow-combustion wood fire for cooler months. Outside there is a deck and an open gravel area framed by tall gum trees and rows of vines. The shed seats 50 guests or holds 100 for a standing event, so it suits a long-table lunch, a relaxed cocktail party or a small wedding. Modern restrooms sit just beside the building, and there is room for caterers to set up. There is no in-house kitchen, which leaves the food entirely up to you. Hosts book food trucks, a plated meal or canapés from a caterer they like, or look after the catering themselves. Drinks are just as flexible: bring your own, or put together a package from the estate's range, with a guided tasting for two to help you choose. Staff to pour can be arranged for an hourly charge. Hire runs as a four-day block, usually Friday to Monday, giving time to style the space and pack down afterwards. Furniture on site is limited, so chairs, trestle tables, umbrellas, glassware and a fire pit can be hired, and events wind up by midnight.

Frequently asked questions
How many guests does the shearing shed hold?
The shed seats up to 50 guests for a sit-down meal or holds around 100 for a standing, cocktail-style event. The outdoor deck and gravel area add space around the building.
Is there a minimum spend?
Yes. The hire guide sets a minimum spend of $1,650, plus a refundable breakage and damage bond of $550.
Can we bring our own caterer and drinks?
Yes. There is no on-site catering, so you can choose food trucks, a caterer for a seated meal or canapés, or cater the event yourself. You can also bring your own drinks, or build a wine package from the Irvine range by the bottle, with a guided tasting for two included to help you pick.
How long do we have the venue for?
Hire covers a four-day block, from 9am on the first day to 3pm on the fourth, typically Friday to Monday. That leaves time for deliveries, styling, rehearsals and pack-down, and other access times can be discussed with the venue manager.
What time do events have to finish?
Because there are homes nearby, events finish promptly at midnight, or music and noise must be brought right down by then.
