The Gribble Green, known for its panoramic views that stretch from the valley to the foothills of Willunga, sets a beautiful backdrop for outdoor ceremonies, or evening receptions under the stars. This space can comfortably host up to 200 guests, making it perfect for larger celebrations.

For a more intimate gathering, Wheaton Pavilion, a beautifully restored historic barn, overlooks lush gardens and vineyards. Enclosed by old stone walls and clear blinds, it provides an elegant setting for seated receptions or dinners, or chic-cocktail-style functions. With space for up to 120 guests, it blends rustic charm with modern amenities.

While the Ridley Strip is a lush lawn area above the pavilion that features added flexibility. With a trellised vine and sunken slate-paved corner, it’s perfect for outdoor dance floors, a relaxed breakaway area with rugs and cushions, or fun lawn games to keep the celebrations lively.

Plus, Paxton Wines is located just 45 minutes from Adelaide, providing the opportunity for guests to either return to the city for continued celebrations, or to explore McLaren Vale’s accommodations and attractions. This close proximity ensures guests can enjoy the vineyard’s tranquility without missing out on the conveniences of Adelaide.

What sets Paxton Wines apart is its commitment to providing couples a personalised and seamless wedding experience that truly reflects their own individual style. Couples have the freedom to bring in their own choice decor, hire furniture and catering according to their preferences, all while enjoying exceptional wine and beverage options from Paxton’s own collection.

“My daughter had her wedding at Paxton’s and I cannot express my gratitude to your staff for the great night we all had. Such a professional and organised event was presented for the wedding party and guests. I have even been informed one of the male staff carried the flower girl through the rain to minimise her getting soaked. Would be happy to recommend you to anyone who is interested in having an event,” – Testimonial from Pat Penny.
