djinta djinta Winery
About
Overview & Vibe
djinta djinta is a cool-climate winery at Kardella South in the rolling hills of South Gippsland, looking across its own cascading vineyard to the Strzelecki Ranges. Every wedding couple gets exclusive use of the estate as part of a personalised package.
Setting & Style
There are three ceremony settings and three ways to hold the reception. Vows happen at the lakefront rotunda reached along a lake boardwalk, under the wisteria of the Arbour in the private garden, or in front of a stone-stacked outdoor fireplace ringed by sandstone pillars and eucalypts — the fireplace doubling as the wet-weather alternative. Receptions run in deVine, the wood-panelled upstairs room in the original house with a vaulted ceiling, bay windows and a wrap-around verandah; in the large enclosed Marquee over the vineyard, heated by glass tube tornado heaters against the South Gippsland cold; or around the Merbau bar in The Grazing Room.
Ideal For
Couples who want a whole small winery to themselves, and who like having the ceremony, the reception and the wet-weather plan all within a few minutes' walk.
The Need-to-Knows
- Capacity depends heavily on which space you pick. The Marquee seats up to 130. deVine seats 50+ or takes 100 for a cocktail reception. Private functions start from 15 people.
- Exclusive use of the estate is included in the wedding package rather than being an upgrade.
- No pricing is published — no per-head rate, package price or minimum spend appears anywhere on the site. Packages are personalised and quoted on enquiry.
- The Marquee is heated, which matters here: the venue itself refers to “those cold South Gippsland nights”.
- deVine is upstairs, reached by the front staircase or a ramp.
- Holland House sits on 42 adjacent acres — three bedrooms, two of them with ensuites — and is booked separately.
Standout Feature
A rotunda at the end of a lake boardwalk with the vineyard and the Strzelecki Ranges behind it, on an estate you get to yourself.

The venue describes it as a blend of modern farmhouse and cottage with three generous bedrooms - the Champagne Suite with a king bed, retreat and ensuite, the Burgundy Room with a king bed, and the Rose Room with a queen bed and ensuite - plus a main bathroom and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opening onto a north-facing deck over the vineyard. It is booked separately from the wedding package and no rate is published.
Price Notes
- NOTE: djinta djinta Winery publishes no pricing of any kind on its own website - no per-head rate, no package price, no venue hire fee and no minimum spend - and there is no wedding brochure or PDF anywhere on the domain. All five relevant pages were checked. Enquiry is by the form on the weddings page, by phone on (03) 5658 1163 or by email to info@djintadjinta.com.au.
- What the venue does state about structure: 'At djinta djinta Winery, each wedding couple receives exclusive use of the estate as part of a personalised package for their special day.' Exclusive use is therefore part of the base offering rather than a paid upgrade. For non-wedding bookings the deVine page adds that 'Function packages are available, or one can be tailor made to suit', and that private functions of 15+ people can be booked on any day.
- Accommodation at Holland House is on the adjacent 42 acres and is booked separately through the venue's own booking link; no nightly rate is published on the site.
