Riverlea Estate

Set on 14 picturesque acres in Warrandyte, at the gateway to the Yarra Valley and under an hour from Melbourne’s CBD, Riverlea Estate is a luxury wedding and event venue with its own vineyard, cellar door and onsite 1912 Restaurant. Its blend of historic charm and contemporary design makes it one of the largest and most sought-after wedding venues in the area.

Originally an apple and pear orchard, the estate has been lovingly transformed by local brothers Greg and Karl Bell into a premier destination for weddings, corporate events and celebrations. Today, guests can enjoy everything onsite, from ceremony and reception to estate-grown wines and seasonal dining.

Riverlea Estate can host the following events:

• Outdoor and chapel wedding ceremonies
• Wedding receptions for up to 350 guests
• Engagement parties and milestone birthdays
• Conferences, training sessions and boardroom meetings
• Product launches and team-building retreats
• Awards nights, fundraisers and end-of-year celebrations
• Celebrations of life

What you’ll love about Riverlea Estate as your Melbourne event venue:

• Three beautiful ceremony locations. Exchange vows on The Green among manicured gardens, in the elegant Marquee Chapel, or beneath the vine-covered Arbour overlooking the estate, perfect for intimate weddings.
• Grand reception spaces. The Melva Room, named after the founders’ late mother, seats up to 350 guests beneath a lofted ceiling, a sparkling Aurora chandelier and a skylight above the dance floor. For smaller celebrations, the Apple Blossom Room offers historic charm under the original homestead’s atrium roof.
• Private bridal party retreats. Brides prepare in a light-filled Bridal Suite with vineyard and bush views, while the groom’s party relaxes in the stone Homestead Cellar with leather couches, a pool table and original Riverlea wines.
• A destination beyond the boardroom. From U-shaped training setups to large conferences and product launches, Riverlea has the technology and flexible spaces to run corporate events smoothly, with interconnected undercover spaces leading to the 1912 Restaurant for breaks and lunches.
• Estate wines and in-house dining. Finish your event with a team wine tasting at the Cellar Door, nestled beneath red maple trees, or treat guests to seasonal menus from the 1912 Restaurant.
