Stones of the Yarra Valley

Set among rolling vineyards and centuries-old oak and elm trees in Coldstream, in the heart of the Yarra Valley, Stones of the Yarra Valley is one of Victoria’s most celebrated wedding and event venues. Its rustic, beautifully restored farm buildings date back to the 1860s, when the property was part of the historic St Huberts vineyard estate.

In 2005, Steve and Vonnie Frazer set out to transform the weather-worn stables and blacksmith’s workshop into a place for celebration, and in 2006 Stones opened its doors. Today, under the stewardship of the Napoleone family, who have farmed in the Yarra Valley since 1948, Stones has hosted thousands of weddings and two decades of private and corporate events.

Stones of the Yarra Valley can host the following events:

  • Chapel and garden wedding ceremonies
  • Wedding receptions in a restored heritage barn
  • Engagement parties and milestone celebrations
  • Conferences and corporate retreats
  • Product launches and gala dinners
  • Corporate dinners and team events
  • Film and photo shoots

What you’ll love about Stones of the Yarra Valley as your event venue:

  • Historic, rustic charm. Stone walls, timber beams and vineyard views give every celebration a warm, timeless character. Exchange vows in The Chapel, then celebrate in The Barn, with the surrounding gardens, trees and vines providing endless backdrops for wedding photography.
  • A collection of unique spaces. Over the years, Stones has grown to include The Stables, The Dairy, The Warehouse, The Day Room and Meletos, offering flexible settings for intimate gatherings, large-scale celebrations and conferences alike.
  • Everything in one place. Couples and guests can stay onsite at The Farmhouse and The Villa, while in-house floristry by Styled by The Providore makes it easy to bring your wedding vision together without juggling multiple suppliers.
  • Seasonal food and Yarra Valley wine. Menus move with the seasons and are paired with carefully selected wines, reflecting the estate’s deep winemaking roots and its close ties to Punt Road Wines.
  • An experienced, caring team. After 20 years of weddings and events, the Stones team knows how to make planning feel calm and organised, guiding you from your first tour through to the final farewell.
