Hens Party Venues in Coldstream

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Two Coldstream wineries suit a hens day, and they feel quite different. Rochford Wines is a big estate with two restaurants and a lake, while Tokar Estate is a family-run winery where a group can take the whole restaurant.

Hens days appear on Rochford Wines' list of functions. Tokar Estate's group functions have no set sitting time, so a lunch there can carry on through the afternoon.

Picking the setting:

A private room upstairs – the Pinot Gallery at Rochford Wines can be reserved for the group
Pizza by the lake – Il Vigneto at Rochford Wines has a retractable roof and weekend music, and groups of 25 or more can gather under its mezzanine
The restaurant to yourselves – Tokar Estate books its restaurant exclusively for up to 80 seated, lunch or evening, seven days a week
Drinks on the deck – Tokar Estate adds canapés and welcome drinks on a deck looking across the vines to the ranges
A big bridal crowd – the terrace at Rochford Wines takes up to 80, and its Conservatory suits 50 or more

Send each winery an enquiry naming your date and headcount.

Rochford Wines sells drinks packages of two, three or four hours covering estate wines, beer, cider and soft drinks
Tokar Estate can cap the bar tab at a figure you set, or switch to a free-flowing package if the group would rather not count rounds
Cocktails and alcohol-free drinks are on Tokar Estate's list as well as the family's own wines
At Rochford Wines, a daytime hens lunch can run up to four hours and an evening party up to five
