The Scene at Chateau Elan at The Vintage Hunter Valley

Located at The Vintage, a golf course designed by legend of the game, Greg Norman, Chateau Elan overlooks famous wineries that make the Hunter Valley wine region such a popular tourist destination. But a round of the 18-hole course isn’t all that’s in store for couples; prepare for your wedding by spending a day at the award-winning Hunter Valley Day Spa before retiring to your luxury Spa Suite, or one of the many other luxury hotel rooms.
Chateau Elan offers several wedding packages that include personalised wedding planning, a pre-reception garden party with lawn games to keep your guests entertained, and a chauffeur-driven golf cart to take the wedding party to photography locations across the property.
There are four reception spaces onsite; though all elegant, each evokes a different atmosphere. The Barrington and Founders Rooms command exquisite views of the golf course and surrounding countryside, and the Legends Grill Restaurant Conservatory sets a refined tone. Alternatively, Chateau Elan welcomes couples to set up marquees on the lawn overlooking the rolling hills.
Catering at Chateau Elan at The Vintage is expertly prepared by the onsite team. Expect menus inspired by international cuisines, using the best locally sourced ingredients. Included in your package and organised by your personal wedding coordinator is a food and beverage tasting session so you can approve the menu ahead of the day.

Venue Testimonials
We booked the whole venue and they have a gorgeous estate with accommodation. We were there for 6 nights and we had all our family there with us. We did a DIY style wedding and got married in the winery. We had a pre-built marquee and it was stunning.
Jenna C
The venue (Barrington Room) was so beautiful. We had our ceremony at the Chapel and all the guests walked from the ceremony to the reception - it was beautiful. All the guests stayed at the accommodation as well and it worked out so well. Would definately recommend.
Sarah M
I cant speak highly enough of the venue! The wedding co-ordinator was fantastic. We got married in the chapel and the reception was also on the venue. Everyone said the food was amazing! Nothing was an issue!
