About

Overview & Vibe

Sinclair’s Gully hides a candlebark forest twenty minutes from Adelaide — a family-owned, multi-award-winning sustainable winery inside a 20-acre nature sanctuary at Norton Summit, where weddings happen beneath towering gums with published, honest pricing.

Setting & Style

Vows exchange beneath the candlebarks with kangaroo grass underfoot, the cellar door, undercover patio, deck and lawns standing by as weather cover. The formula is refreshingly simple: six-hour venue hire at $3,950 seven days a week, 16 ceremony chairs, signing table and wine barrels included, with a $1,400 pop-up celebrant-and-photography package for the paperwork-and-pictures. Catering is yours to bring or book from a trusted mobile network, while the licensed bar pours the estate’s own wines (no BYO alcohol). Up to 100 guests fit the forest.

Ideal For

Couples wanting a true forest wedding with transparent costs — eco-credentials, kombi-van roads and gum-filtered light.
