The Yarra Valley (near Melbourne) and the Hunter Valley (near Sydney) have the most winery wedding venues and accommodation. The Swan Valley suits Perth couples, the Barossa and McLaren Vale suit Adelaide, and the Tamar Valley suits a Tasmanian wedding.
Most winery venues sell per-head packages with food, wine and venue hire. Expect roughly $120 to $250 or more per guest, plus a ceremony fee, with higher minimums on peak-season Saturdays. Prices vary a lot, so ask each venue for its current packages.
Autumn, from March to May, brings golden vines and mild weather, and spring is green and fresh. Summer can be very hot inland; winter is cheaper and suits indoor receptions by an open fire.
Book a coach or minibus from the nearest town or city so guests don't drive after drinking. Many venues can recommend local transport companies.
Some can. Chateau Yering has hotel suites on the estate, and the Hunter Valley, Yarra Valley and Barossa have plenty of nearby accommodation for guests.
