About Mount Duneed Estate
Set across a sprawling estate of rolling hills, working vineyards, olive groves and established gardens near Geelong, Mount Duneed Estate offers couples a genuine winery-wedding setting on Victoria's Surf Coast doorstep. The property brings ceremony, reception, cellar door and accommodation together in one place, so a whole celebration can unfold without guests needing to travel between sites.
Ceremonies are typically held among the olive trees, with an indoor option and a clear marquee close to the main venue as a weather-proof alternative. Receptions move into the Barrel Hall, an industrial space lined with wine and cider barrels, overhead lighting and a generous dancefloor, while the adjoining Vineyard Room offers a smaller setting with views over the vines.
Mount Duneed Estate runs all-inclusive wedding packages covering menu customisation — cocktail, sit-down or shared dining — alongside a five-hour beverage package featuring the estate's own wines. With eight one-bedroom vineyard pods on-site and a cellar door open to guests, couples and their party can settle in and celebrate across the day and night. Explore more wedding venues in Victoria.
