The Best Winery Wedding Venues in Victoria: Mornington Peninsula & Yarra Valley

The Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley have long been two of Victoria's favourite wedding regions, each offering their own take on a destination-style celebration close to Melbourne. Some venues lean coastal and contemporary, while others embrace rustic charm and long-table dining amongst the vines. If you're still figuring out which setting feels most like you, these are a few winery wedding venues we'd have at the top of our list.

SUNNYSIDE ESTATE, MORNINGTON PENINSULA

Sunnyside manages to feel polished without losing that relaxed Mornington Peninsula charm. Set in Mount Eliza, the estate combines grand heritage touches with a fresh, Mediterranean-inspired feel. The gardens are beautifully maintained, with topiary lined paths, a vine covered pergola, vineyard rows and glimpses of Port Phillip Bay creating endless pockets of beauty throughout the property.

One of the biggest drawcards is how seamlessly everything can happen in one place. From your ceremony to cocktails and the reception, guests can settle in and enjoy the celebration without needing to move between venues. It feels elegant, light-filled and easy in all the right ways.

Perfect for: Couples wanting a refined celebration with a relaxed coastal feel.

JACKALOPE HOTEL, MORNINGTON PENINSULA

If you're after something a little less traditional, Jackalope is hard to look past. Known for its bold design and striking architecture, this working winery and boutique hotel offers a completely different take on the classic vineyard wedding. Contemporary spaces sit alongside sweeping vineyard views, creating a setting that feels modern, creative and considered.

There's also something incredibly appealing about making a weekend of it. Guests can stay on-site, enjoy exceptional food and wine, and really settle into the experience rather than treating it as a one-day event. Despite its reputation as one of Victoria's most luxurious venues, Jackalope still feels welcoming and fun rather than overly formal.

Perfect for: Couples who love great design and want a wedding that feels modern and memorable.

PT. LEO ESTATE, MORNINGTON PENINSULA

Pt. Leo Estate is the definition of understated luxury. Perched above the vines with sweeping views across Western Port, it combines world class dining with contemporary architecture and one of Australia's most impressive outdoor sculpture parks.

The setting does a lot of the heavy lifting here. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding landscape, while the sculpture gardens provide a unique backdrop for guests to explore throughout the day. It feels sophisticated without being over the top, the kind of venue where thoughtful details speak for themselves.

Perfect for: Couples who appreciate beautiful design, incredible food and a more refined approach to entertaining.

LANCEMORE LINDENDERRY RED HILL, MORNINGTON PENINSULA

Lindenderry has a warmth to it that instantly puts people at ease. Surrounded by vineyards and established gardens, the boutique hotel feels more like a European country retreat than a traditional wedding venue. Guests can stay on-site, wander the grounds and settle in for the weekend, creating a celebration that feels relaxed and unhurried.

The ceremony settings are particularly beautiful, whether you're drawn to the vineyard, the lakeside gardens or one of the intimate indoor spaces. It's timeless, welcoming and incredibly versatile.

Perfect for: Couples wanting a romantic weekend away with their favourite people.

HUBERT ESTATE, YARRA VELLEY

Hubert Estate has quickly become one of the Yarra Valley's most sought-after wedding venues, and it's easy to see why. Modern and light-filled, the spaces have been thoughtfully designed to showcase the surrounding vineyards without competing with them. Large windows, natural finishes and clean architectural lines create a setting that feels contemporary while still being warm and inviting.

It strikes a lovely balance between elevated and approachable. Whether you're planning a larger celebration or something more intimate, Hubert allows the details of the day to take centre stage.

Perfect for: Modern couples wanting a stylish winery wedding without the fuss.

ZONZO ESTATE, YARRA VALLEY

Zonzo has become a favourite for couples who want their wedding to feel warm, relaxed and centred around good food. The atmosphere here is hard to beat. Vineyard views stretch out across the property, guests move easily between the ceremony and reception spaces, and the energy throughout the day is pure happiness.

It's also well known for its generous Italian-style approach to hospitality. Think shared meals, handmade pasta, wood-fired pizza and plenty of opportunities to raise a glass with the people you love. The whole experience feels less formal and more like one big celebration.

Perfect for: Couples who care just as much about the guest experience as they do the styling.

THE FARM YARRA VALLEY

The Farm feels a little more laid-back than some of the larger winery venues, which is exactly why so many couples love it. Set amongst rolling paddocks and established trees, it offers a beautiful mix of country charm and thoughtful design. Ceremonies can take place beneath oak trees overlooking the water, while receptions unfold within the welcoming farmhouse and adjoining spaces.

There's an honesty to this venue that people are naturally drawn to. It doesn't feel overly polished or overly rustic. Instead, it offers a relaxed setting that encourages everyone to settle in, connect and enjoy the celebration as it unfolds. It's simple, beautiful and full of heart.

Perfect for: Couples looking for an elevated country wedding that still feels relaxed and personal.

The Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley may both be known for their vineyards, but each venue brings something different to the table. You might be drawn to coastal views and Mediterranean-inspired gardens, contemporary architecture and boutique accommodation, Italian-style hospitality or a more relaxed country setting surrounded by nature. The best venue is the one that feels most like you and the kind of experience you want to create for your guests.
