Birthday Party Venues in Dromana

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Birthday groups in Dromana have a pair of wineries to weigh up, both at the foot of Red Hill where the hinterland's cellar doors begin. Crittenden Wines suits a lakeside lunch, while The Marquee @ Trofeo Estate is built for a big crowd.

One is a family winery's restaurant; the other a climate-controlled marquee beside a converted 1930s passionfruit cannery.

Matching the birthday to the winery:

A long lunch with a view – Crittenden Wines' restaurant and covered deck look over the lake, and groups over eight share a set menu at $110 per person.
A milestone for 150 or more – The Marquee @ Trofeo Estate has tables for 200, plus its own bar and a timber dance floor.
Tasting first – many Crittenden guests start at the cellar door before taking their seats.
A smaller group at Trofeo – the cannery restaurant or the wine garden takes groups, with group dining starting at 16 guests.
Any season – the marquee is temperature-controlled, and its sides open on warm days.

Both kitchens are in-house, and Crittenden's modern Australian menu changes with local produce. Send an enquiry to either winery through Party Hero.

Crittenden Wines: the shared menu is modern Australian and moves with the seasons, so expect the line-up on the day to vary.
Crittenden's list: built mostly on bottles the family grows and makes on site.
Trofeo Estate: the in-house chef builds a package around each event.
Trofeo's bottles: wines matured in terracotta, made on the estate.

Which Dromana space fits the party

Up to 200 seated: the Trofeo marquee, with a dance floor and its own bar.

Exposed brick and high ceilings: the cannery restaurant at Trofeo Estate for a smaller lunch.
One contact: a Sales and Events Manager handles Crittenden birthdays from first enquiry to the day.
