Brand’s Laira

Sitting proudly amongst the vines and terra rossa soil of the world-renowned Coonawarra wine region, Brand’s Laira is a stunning winery wedding venue that captures the spirit of timeless romance.

Dating back to 1893, the estate’s rich history creates a captivating backdrop for private events and celebrations of love. Here, heritage meets contemporary style, offering couples the best of both worlds for a wedding that feels classic yet effortlessly modern.

At the heart of the Brand’s Laira cellar door is Eric’s Cellar, a century-old treasure that has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully integrated into the winery’s contemporary design. The rustic wine cellar creates a dramatic and unique “room within a room,” surrounded by sleek, modern architecture. This clever design pays homage to the estate’s past while embracing today’s refined style and is the perfect setting for an intimate candlelit dinner for up to 16 guests, or even as a quiet retreat during your celebration.

From the heritage cellar, the spaces flow naturally onto the modern cellar door where wide glass windows frame the sweeping vineyard views. Featuring a striking hardwood timber ceiling and modern lighting fixtures, polished concrete floors, a relaxing lounge area and fireplace, this large space can comfortably accommodatie 80 guests seated, or up to 150 guests for a cocktail style function.

Guests can spill out onto their spacious alfresco deck, taking in the crisp country air, before wandering across manicured lawns that stretch into the vines. This seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces allows couples to design a wedding that feels welcoming and immersed in the landscape. Whether it’s a sunlit ceremony framed by vines or a twilight toast beneath the stars, Brand’s Laira offers spaces that adapt beautifully to your style and vision.

Brand’s Laira also offers flexible catering options, giving couples the freedom to tailor their menu to their tastes, budget and type of celebration. Whether you’re dreaming of shared grazing tables or a fine dining experience, the choice is totally yours! Pair your feast with the estate’s award-winning wines for a reception that is both indulgent and unforgettable.

Located just 8 minutes from the heritage town of Penola, your guests won’t have far to travel for amenities as well as the many accommodation options available in both Coonawarra and Penola.

What sets Brand’s Laira apart is its rare blend of heritage and hospitality. It is more than a wedding venue; it is a destination where every detail reflects a legacy of winemaking excellence and a commitment to making your day uniquely yours.
