Clare Valley winery weddings among vineyards and native bushland

Set in the heart of the Clare Valley between Auburn and Clare, Skillogalee is a working wine estate surrounded by vineyards, native bushland and open valley views.

Weddings at Skillogalee bring together ceremony spaces among the vines, receptions in the Barrel House overlooking the vineyard and accommodation across the property. With everything in one place, couples and their guests can settle in and enjoy the day at a relaxed Clare Valley pace.

A Clare Valley wine estate for weddings

Skillogalee has been part of the Clare Valley landscape for more than fifty years. Today the property combines vineyards, historic buildings and contemporary hospitality spaces within a single setting.

For weddings, this allows the ceremony, reception and accommodation to come together naturally. Guests arrive, settle in and remain on the property as the celebration unfolds across the day and into the evening.

Many couples choose to turn their wedding into a full Clare Valley weekend, giving family and friends time to explore the region and spend time together.

Ceremony, reception and celebration

Ceremonies are held outdoors on the estate lawns or among the surrounding vineyards, framed by native gums and views across the valley.

Receptions follow in the Barrel House, a warm and light-filled space overlooking the vineyard. The venue connects to an outdoor terrace, creating an easy flow between indoor dining and open air gathering.

With ceremony locations, reception space and accommodation all within walking distance, weddings at Skillogalee remain centred on the property from beginning to end.

Food, wine and the Clare Valley

Food and wine sit at the centre of every gathering at Skillogalee. Wedding menus reflect the season and the region, drawing on local produce and paired with wines grown on the estate. Whether the celebration is a shared feast, long lunch or cocktail-style reception, the focus remains on generous hospitality and the character of the Clare Valley.

Wedding Accommodation on the estate

One of the advantages of celebrating at Skillogalee is the ability to keep guests close.

The Homestead and cottages across the property provide on-site accommodation for family and friends, allowing the celebration to continue without the need to travel elsewhere.

Additional accommodation is also available nearby in Auburn and across the Clare Valley.
