Howard Vineyard
About
Overview & Vibe
Howard Vineyard folds rolling vines, towering gums and terraced lawns around a heritage stone barn at Nairne — a family-owned Hills winery crowned ABIA ‘Best Wedding Reception Venue’ two years running.
Setting & Style
The majestic oak in the middle of the gardens is the signature aisle, standing over the vineyard for vows, with multiple ceremony corners across the all-season gardens. Formalities and dining move into the heritage stone barn under festoon light, with the moody Dark Cellar Door and lighter barn spaces flexing between styles. Menus run choice, alternate-drop, shared platter or cocktail — bespoke food-and-beverage packages paired with the estate’s award-winning wines — and the wedding team, a decade deep in experience, handles every setup and pack-down.
