Birthday Party Venues in Richmond

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

A Richmond birthday at a vineyard can go two ways. Caledon Estate runs it as a catered function with wine poured for a fixed three hours; Every Man & His Dog Vineyard, where the family also makes Federation Chocolate, leans towards a laid-back gathering with something to do.

Matching the birthday to the Richmond vineyard:

A seated group of 20 to 28 fits Caledon's Southern Wing on its own furniture, and hired tables lift that to 32.
Standing, that wing takes 50; a bigger crowd can have all of Caledon Estate, which manages up to 100 mingling or 64 at tables.
Caledon prices packages From $143 per person, with the estate's wine poured for three hours, bar staff on hand and parking for cars and coaches.
Every Man & His Dog Vineyard takes milestone birthdays of any scale, from a handful of friends to a larger group.
Guests there can pour chocolate into moulds, match chocolate with wine or join a group tasting.

A functions chef runs Caledon's kitchen: canapé selections, or a plated lunch of two or three courses served alternately, with optional bowl meals and a grazing table.
At Every Man & His Dog the spread is seasonal platters and local fare, with wine packages from the estate's small batches, the rare Siegerrebe and Ehrenfelser among them.
Chocolate pouring gives a crowd something to do besides sit and talk.
Dogs that behave are welcome at Every Man & His Dog, so the family pet needn't miss the party.
