Olive Trees and Champagne Dreams
Your Dream Destination Wedding Venue
Just over an hour from Melbourne and only 15 minutes from Geelong and the Surf Coast, Mount Duneed Estate is a breathtaking setting for your dream wedding. Renowned for exceptional, personalised celebrations, our venue blends experience, creativity and meticulous attention to detail to deliver weddings that are truly unforgettable.
A Venue for Every Wedding Style
With a range of versatile spaces, Mount Duneed Estate can host weddings of all sizes – from intimate celebrations of 50 guests to grand seated receptions for up to 500 guests.
Whether your vision is relaxed and romantic or elegant and formal, our venue provides the perfect canvas to help bring your dream day to life.
Exchange vows in The Olive Grove, a stunning outdoor ceremony space framed by olive trees and manicured lawns. Elevate the experience with welcome drinks for your guests, from sparkling wine to beer or cocktails.
For an elegant indoor option, our clear marquee offers a light-filled alternative just steps from the main building, complete with sheer white draping and views across the olive grove.
On select dates, couples can opt for the rustic charm of The Barrel Hall, where towering wine vats and warm timber tones set the scene for a moody exchange of vows — perfect for those seeking something truly unique.
Tailored Packages and Exceptional Flexibility
No two weddings at Mount Duneed Estate are the same.
Our team works closely with you to design a bespoke package that reflects your style and priorities.
Choose from flexible dining options including seated or wandering entrées (to create more of a relaxed feel) and generous shared or plated main courses. Your wedding cake plated and impressively served with berry coulis and cream by our Chefs
at no charge.
All wedding packages include five hours of unlimited beverages, with our license extending until midnight so the celebration can continue long into the evening if you really want to kick on!
Spaces for Every Moment
Enjoy pre-dinner drinks and canapés in The Garden Bar, Vineyard Room or across our front lawns – each offering a distinct atmosphere, from laid-back to refined.
