Gather at Polperro: Spring & Summer Celebrations Among the Vines
It won’t be long before winter coats are swapped for linen, fireplaces give way to new buds on the vines, and glasses of red are replaced by something chilled in the afternoon sun.
Spring and summer bring a different rhythm to Polperro. The vineyard turns green again, the garden comes into bloom and long afternoons seem to stretch a little further. It’s a beautiful time of year to gather — for birthdays and milestones, long lunches, end-of-year celebrations or simply an excuse to bring your favourite people around the table.
If a celebration is on the horizon, now is the time to begin planning. Our most sought-after dates across spring and summer are already beginning to fill.
The Garden Party
For celebrations that call for something a little more relaxed, our Garden Party takes place on the Lawn and Deck, surrounded by Angophora gums and overlooking the rolling Talland Hill vineyard and valley beyond.
Designed for groups of 20–40 guests, the afternoon is yours to settle into at your own pace. At the centre is a generous grazing table laden with house-made bread and dips, slow-cooked lamb shoulder and seasonal sides from Polperro Farm, with the option to add freshly shucked oysters, artisan charcuterie or something sweet to finish.
Smaller tables dotted around the lawn give guests somewhere to sit with a glass of wine and take in the view, while our beverage packages feature cool-climate wines alongside beer, soft drinks and non-alcoholic options.
Relaxed, generous and made for a long afternoon in the sunshine.
20–40 guests | From $65 per person, with beverage packages from $75 per person
The Long Table
There is something wonderfully simple about gathering everyone around one beautifully set table.
Hosted undercover on the Deck or within the Dining Room, our Long Table experience is designed for intimate celebrations and gatherings of up to 30 guests.
Overlooking the Talland Hill vineyard as it comes alive for the warmer months, guests can settle in for a seasonal chef-led menu shaped by produce from Polperro Farm and local growers, accompanied by Polperro wines.
It’s an experience made for lingering — plates passed around the table, glasses refilled and nowhere else you need to be.
Up to 30 guests | From $160 per person
Wines can be selected for the table ahead of your arrival, or beverage packages are available from $80–$120 per person, with additional beverages available on consumption throughout the event.
The Estate
For something entirely your own, there is the possibility of having Polperro all to yourself.
Set within a working vineyard in Red Hill, the estate brings together our hatted restaurant, Cellar Door, boutique accommodation, organic farm, wellness studio and thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces.
Exclusive use gives you the freedom to move beyond a traditional event format and create an experience that unfolds across the property — perhaps beginning with a glass among the vines, gathering around the table for lunch or dinner, and staying on the estate long after the last bottle has been poured.
From corporate retreats and brand experiences to milestone celebrations and private gatherings, our team can work with you to shape each element around the occasion.
Just an hour from Melbourne, yet surrounded by vines, farmland and the quiet of Red Hill, Polperro offers somewhere to gather and stay awhile.
A season for gathering
However you choose to celebrate, food, wine and a sense of place sit at the heart of it.
Bring your people. We’ll take care of the rest.
