Christmas Party Venues in Murrumbateman

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Matching your Christmas group to a Murrumbateman winery:

Four Winds Vineyard sets aside a section of its hay shed for weekday groups of up to 50, though the area stays open to other visitors.
Its package for 20 or more opens with grazing boxes, then rolls the wood-fired pizza range across the tables, from $39 per person.
Shaw Estate's Estate Room seats up to 120 for a sit-down Christmas function, with a terrace and lawn for drinks beforehand.
Smaller teams at Shaw Estate can book the Private Cellar or the private dining room rather than the full function centre.
A work group's day at Shaw Estate can take in a hosted tasting of six wines, a cocktail class for beginners or a hands-on pasta session.

At Four Winds Vineyard there are three drinks routes: everyone buys their own, the organiser opens a bar tab and squares it up on the day, or the table takes a timed package.
Four Winds packages last two or three hours and take in most of its wine range plus local beer, cider and soft drinks.
Shaw Estate lists drink packages alongside its in-house function catering and plated menus.
Shaw Estate's seated tastings run as a flight of four or six wines, a lighter option for a team than a full drinks package.

Booking terms for a Murrumbateman end-of-year lunch

Final numbers go to Four Winds two weeks out, and groups over 20 pay a small per-person deposit, refundable until three weeks before.
Larger Four Winds bookings are weekday only; on weekends, groups are kept to 10.
At Shaw Estate, groups of five or more book tastings ahead, and a private tasting space for 10 or more may cost extra.
