Darlington Estate
About
Overview & Vibe
Darlington Estate is the Perth Hills' wedding icon — a winery restaurant folded into the bush above the Darlington valley, hosting weddings for more than thirty years. Towering gums, twinkling lights through glass and WA Wedding Industry Awards' #1 venue honours back-to-back.
Setting & Style
Ceremonies run indoors or out — bushland clearings for sunny days, the fully enclosed reception room with floor-to-ceiling windows when the hills mist over — before award-winning restaurant catering takes the long tables under hanging florals. There's a dance floor inside beside the bar and another under the trees, and yours is the only wedding on the estate that day.
Ideal For
Couples wanting hills-bushland romance with serious food and wine — exclusive use, a complimentary planner and a winery's cellar behind the bar.
