The Terrace at Chalk Hill Wines

Set among the vines and crisp clear air of McLaren Vale, Chalk Hill Wines offers a wedding location with serious breathing room and a blank canvas big enough to dream on. While their cellar door is available for smaller, more intimate gatherings, the real heart of this venue is The Terrace: a vast open-air space designed for couples who want a big guest list and complete creative control over their day.

Wander down the gently sloping path from the Chalk Hill Wines cellar door and you will find The Terrace. Complete with a huge 450m² concrete pad, this space is purpose-built for marquee installations of all shapes and styles. From clear-roof structures to luxe stretch tents, tipis or bespoke builds, The Terrace is made to adapt. Surrounding it is an expansive turfed area that can comfortably host up to 600 guests, with panoramic vineyard views that shift beautifully from daylight to dusk. Sunset cocktails on The Terrace is really a sight to behold!

What sets The Terrace at Chalk Hill Wines apart is the freedom it gives you. Couples have access over 5 days (Thursday through to Monday) and can bring in the suppliers of their choosing to pair with their Chalk Hill Wines beverage packages. From caterers and food trucks, through to stylists, furniture hire, lighting, florals and more. There are no required vendors, and no limitations on how the space should look or feel. If you can imagine it, you can build it.

The scale of the space also allows for standout moments most venues simply can’t accommodate, including, yes, enough room for a helicopter landing! Whether you’re planning a statement entrance, an outdoor feast, a sprawling cocktail reception or a wedfest-style celebration, The Terrace makes it possible.

With McLaren Vale literally at their doorstep (only a quick Uber ride away), your guests will be spoilt for choice when it comes to luxurious accommodation options. And the team are only too happy to make recommendations for suppliers, including accommodation and catering.

Backed by the natural beauty of Fleurieu Peninsula’s famous McLaren Vale, along with the adaptability of a flexible site, The Terrace at Chalk Hill Wines offers couples something rare – total creative freedom on a spectacular canvas that’s yours to shape from the ground up.
