Christmas Party Venues in the Canberra Wine District

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Murrumbateman has two Christmas options and Sutton, Bungendore and Gundaroo one each, ranging from a pizza lunch for a small team to a pavilion for a whole workforce. Set menu prices appear at three of the five, so the other two mean asking for a quote.

Where each village fits an end-of-year function:

Murrumbateman: Four Winds Vineyard hosts weekday lunches for up to 50 in its covered hay shed, with a pizza and grazing box package from $39 per person.
Murrumbateman: Shaw Estate's Estate Room seats up to 120 with in-house plated menus, and work groups can add a cocktail or pasta class.
Bungendore: Lerida Estate's café splits functions between a snug barrel room and a sunny courtyard, for 40 at tables or 80 mingling; its festive set menus are priced from $79 per person.
Sutton: Goolabri is dry hire, so a firm bringing its own caterer can use anything from the Garden Room for 80 seated to the Wedgetail Pavilion for 450.
Gundaroo: The Stone Room @ Grazing seats up to 110 for plated dinners or takes 200 for a cocktail-style party.

A team of 40 or fewer at the table: the café at Lerida Estate, or for 20 or under, one of Grazing's private dining rooms.
Around 50 for lunch: the hay shed at Four Winds Vineyard, on a weekday.
Around 100 to 120 seated: Shaw Estate, The Stone Room @ Grazing or The Wren at Goolabri.
Several hundred: Goolabri's permanent marquee, the Wedgetail Pavilion.

Menus and drinks packages by venue

Each Lerida Estate Christmas menu starts with a festive cocktail, a glass of wine or a beer, and estate wine packages can be added by the hour.
Four Winds Vineyard charges nothing for the space, and the bar can work by tab, by individual purchase or as a timed package.
Goolabri lets a group supply its own drinks if its own RSA-certified staff pour them; otherwise estate staff run the bar.
Grazing plates two or three course dinners from local, seasonal produce, or serves canapés for a standing party.
