12 Dreamy McLaren Vale Wedding Venues That Will Have You at Hello!

Ahhh McLaren Vale, the beautiful wine region and beating heart of the Fleurieu Peninsula. No doubt you have spent the occasional weekend sipping the day away at one of the great wineries, breweries, distilleries or restaurants on offer in McLaren Vale, but have you also considered the Vale for your wedding?

With its Mediterranean climate, vineyards, orchards, pretty pink Almond blossoms in the spring, and glorious views of the lush green hills that border this famous wine region, McLaren Vale is the ideal place to have your nuptials. With literally hundreds of wineries and potential locations, the task may seem a little daunting.

With VENYU, it’s a walk in the vineyard (see what we did there?). We’ll help you to pick the best McLaren Vale venue for you. After all, that is how we came about – if you didn’t know the history of our little company, feel free to have a read.

We’ve compiled our list of top McLaren Vale venues for your wedding, whether that’s for a ceremony, luxe reception, or both all in one location! Including venues that can cater for intimate gatherings right through to large guest lists, and some with accommodation on site. There are venues that offer stress-free beverage packages and catering on-site, through to dry-hire venues where you can bring in all of your own favourite suppliers (we know you wine buffs have your favourites, tell us we’re wrong…).

We can guarantee you’ll find your perfect McLaren Vale wedding venue, whether that’s in the form of a winery restaurant, rustic shed space, private garden or unique cellar door.

14. Fleurieu Cherries

McLaren Vale may be famous for its wineries and award-winning drops, but we think if there was a wedding award category for the best selection of wedding venues in SA, McLaren Vale would surely come out on top. But that could just be the wine talking…

Don’t take our word for it, you be the judge – or get your friends to!
