Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Main Ridge offers two very different receptions: an Italian-style long table at a family winery, or a party in an English country pub.

Red Hill Estate on Mornington-Flinders Road has made cool-climate wine since 1989 and runs ceremonies and receptions on the same estate. The Pig & Whistle, a British-themed pub, hosts wedding functions in its restaurant, cellar bar and converted shed.

Main Ridge reception options at a glance:

  • Up to 45 beside the vines – the Conservatory at Red Hill Estate is bright and looks over the vineyard.
  • Up to 60 by the fire – the Dining Room at Red Hill Estate has timber finishes, a fireplace and a garden outlook.
  • Dinner and dancing for 120 – The Marquee at Red Hill Estate is open-plan and backed by the vineyard.
  • A 90-seat pub dinner – The Restaurant at The Pig & Whistle serves hearty British classics.
  • Music in the shed – The Pig & Whistle's Shed Theatre seats 45 at tables and hosts live music most weeks.
