A High Country Wedding Among Vineyards and Mountains
RealWeddings Guide
Set at the base of the Alpine National Park in Victoria's King Valley, Lancemore Milawa is a genuine vineyard wedding venue — a boutique 40-room countryhouse hotel surrounded by working vines and minutes from renowned wine producer Brown Brothers.
A multi-million-dollar renovation, recognised with the 2023 AHEAD Award for Best Hotel Renovation, brought fashion-forward interiors by The Stella Collective to the property, connecting its refined design to the surrounding vineyard landscape.
Couples can marry among the vines or beside three garden fish ponds, before moving to the light-filled Restaurant Merlot for a reception of up to 130 seated guests or 200 cocktail-style. Catering is entirely in-house, drawing on King Valley's artisan food and wine producers, with seasonal Winter Wedding packages adding mulled wine, s'mores and fireside warmth from May to September.
With 40 boutique rooms, including a dedicated bridal suite, couples and guests can extend the celebration into a full wedding weekend — a genuine winery-estate experience reflected in the venue's warm reviews and design
