What to look for

Vineyard views. Melbourne weather.

01

Seasons change everything

Autumn colour, green spring vines and frosty winter mornings: visit at the time of year you plan to marry, and ask about heaters and cover.

02

Transport and accommodation

Most guests will drive from Melbourne. A shuttle and nearby accommodation make it easier for everyone to stay for the night.

03

Winery packages

Many venues bundle wine and catering. Check corkage, beverage packages and which outside suppliers you can bring.

How far is the Yarra Valley from Melbourne?+

Around an hour's drive from the CBD. Most couples organise a shuttle so guests can enjoy the day without driving home.

Autumn and spring Saturdays at popular wineries fill 12 to 18 months ahead. Winter weddings are often easier to book and feel cosy with fires and heaters.
