Poachers Pantry

Murrumbateman / Canberra District, New South Wales From: From $215 p/head

About

Overview & Vibe

Poachers Pantry sits on Nanima Road at Springrange, thirty minutes from Canberra — a smokehouse, restaurant, cellar door and vineyard run by the Bruce family on open country land.

Setting & Style

The whole day happens in one place. The ceremony is on the Homestead lawn, often under the golden elm; drinks and canapes follow in the Marquee Gardens while the couple are photographed through the gardens and grounds; then the reception runs either in the restaurant or the Garden Marquee. The menu is built around the region's produce and the smokehouse's own smoked meats, paired with estate-grown Poachers Vineyard wine. Exclusive use of the grounds runs six and a half hours, and packages are priced as complete evenings rather than à la carte.

Ideal For

Couples wanting a genuine country wedding with the food and wine made on the property.
