Aravina Estate hosts weddings, conferences, team-building days, corporate dinners and private celebrations across several rooms and gardens, with a dedicated wedding and event manager. The estate is a working winery at 61 Thornton Road, Yallingup, in the Margaret River wine region of Western Australia, and it has 21 cabins for guests who stay overnight.
Seminars and company events
For business groups, the estate offers the Chardonnay Room, the Barrel Room and the Terrace for conferences, team days and corporate dinners, with a corporate brochure and group menus available from the events team. Smaller teams can also book tables on the lawn for a relaxed lunch. Christmas parties and birthday functions use the same spaces, and the Taphouse can be taken for private events.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremonies take place in the Wedding Gardens, with an arbour, lawns and views over the vines. Receptions can follow in the Chardonnay Room, on the Terrace for a smaller group, or in a marquee set on the grass for an evening party. A bridal suite is available to the couple, and the wedding and event manager coordinates the day with the kitchen and the venue team.
Rooms and capacities
The named event spaces are the Chardonnay Room, the Barrel Room, the Terrace, the Taphouse and the Wedding Gardens, with a marquee site on the lawn. The estate does not publish seated or standing figures for any of them, so confirm the capacity of each room for your format with the event manager before choosing.
Accommodation
Aravina Escapes is a group of 21 self-contained cabins on Wildwood Ridge, beyond the lake. Each measures 38 m² and comes with a kitchenette, bathroom, barbecue and air conditioning. King cabins sleep three, twin cabins sleep four in two bedrooms, two accessible cabins have ramp access, and a honeymoon cabin sleeps two. A wedding party or a team on a retreat can therefore stay on the estate.
Catering
The Terrace restaurant serves lunch with views across the vineyard, and group menus are prepared for functions. The estate's own wines, made on site from its single vineyard, are poured at events. During the two-week summer festival, a pizza bar and tastings in the Taphouse are added.
History and setting
The first vines on the property were planted in 1986, and new plantings followed in 2013. The estate covers 180 acres, 69 of them under vine with 12 grape varieties, and it makes three tiers of wine. Beyond the winery and restaurant, the estate keeps a surf gallery, and a solar unit was installed in 2022. The grounds combine vineyard, lake and gardens.
Getting there
The estate is about 10 minutes by car from Dunsborough and Yallingup, in the northern part of the Margaret River region. Busselton Margaret River Airport is the closest airport, and Perth lies roughly three hours north by road.
