Wandin Valley Estate

About

Overview & Vibe

Wandin Valley Estate spreads 123 acres of Lovedale vines around its own cricket oval — a classic Hunter wedding estate, now run by Doltone House, where the whole weekend from vows to recovery stays inside the gates.

Setting & Style

Five ceremony settings cover every mood: the Eucalypt Grove by the cricket oval (scoreboard personalised to the couple), the timber Pontoon over the dam for waterside vows, Vineyard Hill above the pool with Brokenback views, the secluded Valley View Tree, and The Barn — oak barrels and a crystal chandelier — when weather calls. Receptions fill the Cricketer’s Pavilion: Wandin NV Cuvée and canapés on the pitch, then high ceilings, chandeliers, exposed timber and floor-to-ceiling glass over the vines for a three-course feast with estate wines. Accommodation, photo locations and pre- and post-wedding celebrations all live on the property.
