Thorn-Clarke Wines was THE most perfect venue for our wedding. After our first viewing, we fell in love - the venue speaks for itself! We were initially shown around by Brooke who was lovely and informative for their offerings and packages, and willing to help with any enquiries. We then dealt with the Events Manager Sharyn who was incredibly devoted, supportive and so knowledgeable to help us plan forward and sort everything out for the day. The most incredible support to us for our wedding day, honestly everything and more we could have asked for at our venue! It has the most spectacular view and what we loved the most was the flexibility with such a large outdoor area and the space we had to really create and tailor our day to exactly how we wanted. Thank you Thorn-Clarke, and we look forward to sharing our anniversaries here!

Great space for small weddings, beautiful outdoor area and inside space for reception. Very accomodating and helpful for sourcing musicians, hair and makeup and caterers in the area.

Sharyn (Thorn Clarke Wine Cellar Door Manager) was an absolute legend throughout our entire wedding process. Nothing was too hard despite us organising our wedding from interstate & it being on Easter. Her attention to detail was spot on & our night was SO amazing. Thorn Clarke’s speculator garden didn't need any decorations, but we bought in Milos from (Bulb Lighting) to enhance the beautiful garden & light up the wooden barrels & picnic tables. Sharyn & Milos arranged a video call & can NOT fault their work, creating an orange ambiance. Perrie Thomas Photography duo were amazing, blending easily into the wedding party creating some natural & jaw dropping, evening photos. Shakermaker Foods (Josh & Jenna) had to pick our menu for us as we couldn’t decide because EVERYTHING on the menu looked delicious. Guests commented all night on their variety of meals & the taste!

Do venues charges more for New Year's Eve weddings?

Wondering if there are surcharges for weddings on special dates like this. We're thinking of a NYE wedding.

Thorn-Clarke Wines

Not necessarily. Any surcharges are going to be around your numbers on site more so than the "special" date.

Best vegan menu ideas for our wedding

Hello, we have a few guests with vegan dietary requirements coming to our wedding. What are some plant based menu ideas that are a hit? Canapes, main and dessert please. Thank you!

Thorn-Clarke Wines

Essentially catering for Vegen dietary requirements should be simple and delicious. Your choices would come back to who you decide to use as your caterer. The Barossa Valley has many caterers that cater perfectly for dietary requiremnts.
