About this venue
Lake George Winery, a family-owned and operated establishment nestled along the shores of the enigmatic Lake George in the Canberra region wine district, conveniently located within a scenic 30-minute drive from both Canberra and Goulburn.
The Canberra region has a rich history in winemaking, dating back to the 1840s when the first vines were planted. It was not until the 1970s that the cool-climate wineries experienced a renaissance, thanks to the efforts of CSIRO scientists who conducted extensive research on vineyard locations, grape selection, and traditional winemaking methods. Over the past 50 years, the Canberra region has flourished, now boasting three distinct wine regions across Murrumbateman, Yass, Canberra, Hall, Bungendore, Wamboin, Gundaroo, Lake George, and Collector.
Our winery venue offers a breathtaking setting for weddings, special events, and unforgettable celebrations. Our stunning dining room exudes elegance, featuring captivating elements such as an inviting open fireplace, polished rustic floor boards, and a spacious verandah that affords picturesque views of our estate. Moreover, our cellar showcases a stunning stone feature wall, perfectly complementing the unique charm of our wine museum.
Our dining room has the capacity to seat 120 people in a formal capacity, or up to 300 people for a standing cocktail-style reception. A team of dedicated experts, including our esteemed Restaurant Manager and Head Chef, stands ready to assist you in creating an unforgettable winery wedding experience. Beyond weddings, our versatile venue is the perfect backdrop for conferences, tasting workshops, art collections, swing dance festivals, music events, and proposal ceremonies.
