TRENTS VINEYARD WEDDING GUIDE

Trent’s Vineyard Restaurant was formerly Trent’s Chicory Kilns, 135 years old, historic rated and sensitively restored to create a venue with unique rustic ambience, set amidst grapevines, paddocks and mature trees, close to the city boundary.

The whitewashed Mediterranean style building and expansive lawns with fountain, Victorian Gazebo, white doves and swan on the lily pond form an idyllic setting lending itself perfectly to weddings.

Trent’s has become renowned as a superb Wedding Venue, averaging over 60 weddings each season from September to April.

She is always available to discuss any queries.
