Is this for you?

Palmers Lane is for you if you...

Want the whole vineyard to yourselves

Sole use of the estate for the day. A dirt road, a century-old fig tree, vines planted in 1968 and the Brokenback Range behind it all. Nobody else’s wedding.

Want to choose your wines where they’re made

A complimentary tasting at the Bimbadgen cellar door to pick your wedding wines, then a five-hour package of them poured on the night.

Want your guests steps from the party, not a taxi away

Sixty studio rooms at The Lane Retreat on the estate, with discounted rates for your guests and a recovery brunch by the pool.

Want a plan for rain that isn’t a marquee

A purpose-built pergola with clear drop-down blinds, the all-weather option 365 days of the year.

Weddings, week in and week out

Bimbadgen has grown wine at Palmers Lane since the first Shiraz vines went in, in 1968. The weddings came when couples kept asking to marry among them, so we built a reception room with soaring beams at the end of the dirt road, then The Lane Retreat beside it so nobody would have to leave.

Your wedding coordinator is with you from planning to the last dance. The menu comes from the kitchen behind Esca, our restaurant at the winery, and the wines are ours: you pick them at the cellar door. On the day, the coordinator is on site from nine in the morning, and the bridal preparation suite at the Retreat is yours.

Pick a time below and we’ll call you: your date, your numbers, and which of the five ceremony spots suits you. Then come and walk the vines.
