Carrajung Estate

Gippsland, Victoria Capacity: 40–120

About

Overview & Vibe

Carrajung Estate is a boutique vineyard on 100 acres at Willung South, in the hills between Traralgon and the coast. It runs a restaurant, a cellar door and four lodges as well as the wedding business, so a Carrajung wedding is built to be a weekend: ceremony in the vines, dinner in the restaurant, and everyone asleep on the property.

Setting & Style

Multiple ceremony sites across the estate — among the vineyards, under eucalypts, on the rolling hills. Sit-down receptions run in the restaurant, which extends onto a deck and lawn overlooking the vines; cocktail receptions run in a dedicated function room that doubles as the wet-weather ceremony space. Glass down the vineyard side, long tables, pendant lighting.

Ideal For

Couples in the 40–120 range who want food and wine at the centre of the day and a full weekend rather than an evening.

The Need-to-Knows

  • Ideal for 40 to 120 guests — the venue's own framing, and it shapes which room you use: the restaurant for seated, the function room for cocktail.
  • Packages are tailored and not published. Every route on the page ends in “Enquire to see packages”, and the enquiry form asks for an estimated budget. A private tour is the venue's suggested starting point.
  • A dedicated on-the-day coordinator is included in the wedding packages, managing details and vendors.
  • Catering is in-house, by chef Patrick Haney, built on heirloom vegetables from neighbouring growers, pasture-raised meat and estate-grown wines.
  • Accommodation sleeps 22 across four lodges, one to four bedrooms, with dog-friendly options. The Celebrate package includes two nights for the couple in The Nest, a one-bedroom cottage with an outdoor bath and a wood burner.
  • The estate trades publicly — wine tastings run Friday to Sunday at 11am, 3pm and 5pm — so a wedding is arranged around a working cellar door.

Standout Feature

A vineyard restaurant that opens onto a deck over the vines, with four lodges behind it so the whole party stays the weekend.

Price Notes

  • NO WEDDING PRICING IS PUBLISHED. Every call to action on the weddings page is 'Enquire to see packages' or 'Enquire now'; there is no per-head figure, package price, venue hire fee or minimum spend anywhere, and the only PDF on the site is a restaurant winter menu. The enquiry form asks for preferred date, number of guests and an 'Estimated Budget', and the venue's suggested first step is a private tour: 'We'd love to show you around. Book a private tour of Carrajung Estate.'
  • WHAT THE PACKAGES INCLUDE IS STATED WITHOUT PRICES: 'Tailored wedding packages include a dedicated on-the-day coordinator to ensure every detail is seamless.' The summary block lists 'Ideal for 40 to 120 guests; Indoor Outdoor spaces; Dedicated Coordinator; In-house Catering; On-site Accommodation.' A named 'Celebrate Package' includes 'two nights for the happy couple to enjoy in Carrajung Estate's luxurious and romantic accommodation, The Nest.'
  • CATERING IS IN-HOUSE AND NAMED: 'Crafted by Chef Patrick Haney; Estate-grown wines; Local, seasonal dining experience.' 'We specialise in highlighting the heirloom vegetables grown by our neighbours, pasture-raised meats and unforgettable artisanal desserts paired with award-winning estate-grown wines.' A Winter 2026 restaurant menu PDF is published, dated 26 March 2026, but it carries no wedding pricing and no dietary markings.
  • THE ONLY PUBLISHED PRICE ON THE SITE IS NOT A WEDDING ITEM: wine tastings run 'Fri - Sun @ 11am, 3pm or 5pm ($15pp)'. The estate trades publicly on those days, so a wedding shares the property with cellar-door visitors unless otherwise arranged.
  • ADDRESS AND PHONE COME FROM THE SITE'S OWN JSON-LD, not a maps lookup: '"streetAddress": "322 Lays Rd", "addressLocality": "Willung South", "addressRegion": "VIC", "postalCode": "3847"' and '"telephone": "03 5194 2215"'. Neither appears in the visible prose of the pages crawled.
