Corporate & Private Events · The Pavilion
Take the meeting to the vines.
[TBC]Seated, long tables
Indicative plan — confirmed with the events team
The pavilion, four ways
One room.
Four rooms.
Covered, open-sided and looking straight down the rows. Set it for a strategy day, a board dinner, a product launch or the whole company’s Christmas — and change it between sessions.
-
Four timber tables the length of the room. Working lunches, dinners, and the day that runs from a whiteboard into a long lunch without moving.
-
One table, everyone facing each other, the vineyard where the wall would be. Leadership off-sites and board meetings.
-
Rows facing the screen end, a centre aisle, the sides open. Conference sessions, launches, a talk before the tasting.
-
High tables, the bar along the wall, the lawn and the sculptures through the open side. Celebrations, awards nights, the end-of-year party.

The agenda, left to right.
Keep scrolling. The day moves sideways.
9am
The session
Boardroom or theatre, the screen at the end, the vineyard where the wall would be. Nobody looks at their phone.
12:30
Walk, then lunch
A loop through the rows and the sandstone sculptures, then a long lunch at the tables you left.
3pm
The tasting
Six estate wines with the people who made them, at the bar or back at the boardroom table.
7pm
Dinner, if you stay
Long tables again, the sides open to the night, a short walk to the cottage for whoever is sleeping on the estate.
Add wine to the agenda
Three ways to make it ours.
Each slots into a break, a lunch or the evening. Prices per person, confirmed on enquiry.

- Redeemable on bottles for the team
The winemaker’s table

- Five reserve wines and one museum release
- Winemaker hosted, subject to availability [TBC]
- Best as the last session of the day
The sculpture walk
Glass in hand · $[TBC] per personA guided loop past the eight sandstone pieces carved on the estate, out along the rows and back to the pavilion. The walking meeting, with better scenery.

The best off-site we have run. Nobody wanted to leave.
