About

Overview & Vibe

An Adelaide Hills winery at Lobethal built around a sandstone Barn, with manicured gardens, vineyards, ancient gum trees and rolling hills around it. It has been running weddings since 2002, which is longer than most venues in this database.

Setting & Style

The Barn does double duty — it holds the tasting room, described as “contemporary-meets-rustic”, and becomes the reception space, strung with paper lanterns and fairy lights over long bentwood-chaired tables. Ceremonies and photographs happen out in the gardens and among the gums.

Ideal For

Couples who want an established Hills winery with the ceremony, the photography and the reception all in one place, and who are relaxed about pricing arriving by email rather than off the website.

The Need-to-Knows

No capacity is published for weddings — and the 60-guest minimum on the site applies to private celebrations, not weddings. An elopement package is advertised separately, so the range is genuinely open. Ask.
No pricing is published. The full wedding package is sent only after an enquiry form.
There is an elopement package as well as full weddings, so the venue works at both ends.
The venue declines 18th and 21st evening celebrations — not a wedding restriction, but it shapes what else can be booked around the weekend.
It is a working cellar door with a restaurant (Ginkgo) and a tasting room in the same Barn.

Price Notes

Pricing is provided on enquiry: "Please fill out our enquiry form as below and we can get back to you with our full Wedding Package." No per-head rate, venue hire, minimum spend or package figure is published.
Let us host your next special celebration here at our beautiful Western Branch Vineyard venue. Note: We can only host private events with a minimum of 60 guests.
An elopement package exists and is referred to, but its details are not currently reachable — ask about size, inclusions and price when you enquire.
The venue has run weddings since 2002: "We have been hosting beautiful weddings at Golding Wines since 2002, and have built an experienced team who are there to help you in the planning of your big day."
It declines some event types: 'We do not offer 18th or 21st evening celebrations.' Not a wedding restriction, but worth knowing when planning surrounding events.
It is a working cellar door, not a dedicated wedding venue. The site carries a tasting room inside the same Barn, the Ginkgo Restaurant, a wine club, and a programme of public experiences - the NIDO Experience, Wine Safari, Hamper in the Hills, Pallet Picnic, Ascend, Wine Odyssey - plus Friday Night Braai evenings and periodic barn sales. Worth asking how public trade interacts with a wedding booking.
The venue is at 52 Western Branch Road, Lobethal SA 5241.
