Farm Vigano

Set on 16 acres overlooking the Plenty Valley Gorge in South Morang, just 25km from Melbourne’s CBD, Farm Vigano is a historic Italian restaurant and one of Melbourne’s most picturesque wedding and event venues. With panoramic views, lush gardens and fruit orchards, the property feels like a slice of the Italian countryside on Melbourne’s doorstep.

The estate was once the farm of Mario and Maria Teresa Viganò, the pioneering family behind the famous Mario’s restaurant on Exhibition Street. Today, their original family home has been transformed into a light-filled dining room, and the property continues their legacy of authentic Italian food, culture and hospitality through weddings, private celebrations and corporate events.

Farm Vigano can host the following events:

• Wedding ceremonies and receptions
• Engagement parties and birthday celebrations
• Bridal and baby showers
• Christenings, baptisms, communions and confirmations
• Corporate events, meetings and strategy sessions
• Team-building days and Christmas parties
• EOFY events, fundraisers and networking functions

What you’ll love about Farm Vigano as your Melbourne event venue:

• Everything in one breathtaking location. Say “I do” on the ceremony lawns, enjoy canapés on La Terrazza as the sun sets over the gorge, then celebrate in the light-filled main dining room with its floor-to-ceiling windows. The whole property is available for wedding photography.
• Flexible event spaces. Choose exclusive venue hire for up to 160 guests, the Italian-inspired La Terrazza, the Garden Room with its own private bar and garden, or the more intimate Sun Room and Alcove for smaller gatherings.
• Abundant Italian sharing menus. Seasonal, plentiful dishes are made with produce from the estate’s reclaimed orchards and vegetable and herb gardens, paired with an extensive drinks list. Couples can even add an on-site gelato cart for a sweet finishing touch.
• Corporate events with a difference. Take your team out of the boardroom for meetings, learning and development sessions or Christmas parties for 20 to 140 guests, from morning espresso and pastries to long-table lunches and cocktail celebrations.
• Dedicated, personal service. A wedding coordinator guides you from start to finish, and furry family members are even welcome at your ceremony.
