About
Overview & Vibe
Pikes is a winery, brewery and restaurant on the Polish Hill River Estate at Sevenhill in the Clare Valley, established in 1984 and now spanning 100 hectares. Catering comes from SLATE Restaurant, the estate’s own hatted kitchen, and the bar pours estate-grown wine alongside Pikes Beer Co craft beer.
Setting & Style
A wedding here moves through the property: vows on The Pikes Lawn, pre-dinner drinks in the Beer Co garden or on the Slate Deck, then the reception inside Slate Restaurant with its deck over the vineyards. There is also The Pruner’s Hut, a stone cottage on the hilltop with panoramic vineyard views, used for ceremonies of up to 20 or private dining.
Ideal For
Couples who want a Clare Valley winery wedding where the food is the restaurant’s own rather than a caterer’s, and who like the idea of the day moving between lawn, garden and deck.

- The ceremony package is $2,000, including 20 white Americana chairs and a garden arbour.
