About Acacia Ridge Winery

Acacia Ridge is a family-run vineyard on Gulf Road in Yarra Glen, with views over the vines towards the Great Dividing Range. Its wines are made under contract by local specialist winemakers, and the property is set up for weddings from ceremony to last dance. Ceremonies take place at the end of a long brick aisle facing the vineyard, or inside the Vine Room when the weather turns. The Vine Room has floor-to-ceiling glass and climate control, and it becomes the dance floor once the reception is under way. Receptions are held in a permanent marquee with a clear roof, chandeliers, fairy lights and flowers all year round. It seats up to 200 guests or holds 280 for a cocktail-style wedding, and a rustic barn with an open fireplace greets guests as they arrive. The wedding party has the 1850s Miners Hut to themselves for the event, fitted out with timber, couches, climate control and a bathroom. It is a place to rest between photos rather than somewhere to stay overnight. Packages cover six hours of venue hire with a five-hour drinks package, and couples choose a cocktail, shared feasting or two-course plated menu. Multicultural weddings are welcome, including Kosher and Indian celebrations, and cultural weddings can bring in specialist caterers for a kitchen fee. An event manager coordinates the day, and suppliers can usually get in from midday. Send an enquiry to check dates and arrange a look around.
