Christmas Party Venues around Red Hill & Western Port

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year parties here range from a pub room near the Western Port shore to a hinterland property your team has to itself. Five venues take Christmas bookings, and headcount narrows the choice quickly.

A team of 20 has more options than a crowd of 150, so start with numbers and then decide how the day should run.

Five ways to wrap up the year:

The Cambium on Arthurs Seat Road in Red Hill is booked by one group at a time, with Manna Hall for up to 25, music on the lawns and a personal chef for a private dinner
The Peninsula Room @ Flinders Hotel holds 200 for drinks or 120 at tables, with set menus and drinks packages in three tiers
The Barn @ The Peacock Estate in Tyabb names Christmas parties among its events, with a dance floor for 120 and a bar tab or pay-as-you-go drinks
Montalto in Red Hill South seats 90 in a glass-walled restaurant facing the vines and gardens, from a $1,000 minimum spend
Polperro Winery gives a company its whole restaurant, deck and lawn for daytime use midweek, from a $10,000 minimum spend, with an events manager assigned

When you enquire, mention the date, the headcount and whether the party runs by day or into the night.

Red Hill & Western Port Christmas Party Venues

The Cambium can add team activities such as a cooking masterclass, archery, yoga or a guided walk with Aboriginal cultural educators before the party
Ten guest suites at The Cambium mean a team can stay the night after the end-of-year dinner
For a small team on a weekday, Montalto's Alto room pairs a cellar door tasting with share plates and seats 25
Polperro Winery's dining room has a fireplace for cooler weather and doors that fold back onto the deck in summer, so a December lunch can open out to the vineyard

Pubs, barns and the bar tab

Drinks at Flinders Hotel come in three package levels lasting two to four hours, with a welcome cocktail as an extra
The Peninsula Room divides into two sections for around 30 to 40, so a department party doesn't feel sparse
At The Peacock Estate a food truck or grazing table feeds the crowd, and the estate's bar pours local wines, craft beers and cocktails
Montalto can run drinks as one of three packages or simply charge for what the table orders

Venues for Christmas Parties: Your Questions Answered

Can our team have a whole property to ourselves for Christmas?

Yes. The Cambium in Red Hill is booked by one group at a time, and a private event at Polperro Winery gives you its restaurant and grounds alone.

Which Christmas venue here suits more than 150 guests?

The Peninsula Room @ Flinders Hotel fits 200 standing. The Barn @ The Peacock Estate holds 120 standing, and Montalto 130.

Do these venues cater for vegan or vegetarian staff?

Flinders Hotel caters for vegetarian, vegan and low-gluten diners on its set menus. At The Cambium, catering runs through the venue's chef or its preferred partners, so raise dietary needs when you enquire.

What is the minimum spend for a winery Christmas lunch?

Montalto starts from a $1,000 minimum spend, and Polperro Winery's midweek daytime events from a $10,000 minimum spend.
