Southern Highlands Event Planning, Compared

How to Choose an Event Planner

Planning an outing in the Highlands means pulling together transport, tastings and meals across villages that sit some way apart. A planner or tour operator handles the bookings and the timing so the group can just turn up.

What a Highlands event planner can arrange:

  • Private winery days with tastings paid in advance and platters on the coach
  • Coach charters for work teams heading to a country retreat or Christmas lunch
  • Guest shuttles for weddings, moving people between accommodation and the reception
  • Hens and bucks days built around cellar doors and a long lunch
  • Birthday outings for groups who want a set itinerary and no driving

Private winery days start at $144 per person. Groups planning a hens or bucks weekend can see hens party planners and bucks party planners, and work groups can look at corporate event ideas.

A good planner will also suggest a lunch stop and keep the day to a sensible pace, so the group is still enjoying it by late afternoon.
