You don’t book Milawa for one night; you enjoy it for a whole weekend: forty rooms, two bridal suites, vineyards in every direction, and a wine list that reads like a tour of North East Victoria’s best regions. King Valley prosecco for the welcome drinks, Beechworth chardonnay with dinner, Rutherglen fortified for the nightcap. This is a destination wedding venue set in one of Victoria’s great food-and-wine postcodes, and it shows.
Lancemore Milawa sits on eight acres of manicured gardens and vineyards with views across the rolling hills of the King Valley. Interiors by award-winning designers give it a polished, contemporary feel without losing the country estate warmth.
Indoor and outdoor ceremony options mean you’re covered across seasons, and the grounds shift beautifully through the year, from spring blossoms and luminous wattles through to the autumn foliage that lines the property’s three fish ponds. Two reception spaces flex to your numbers: Restaurant Merlot for up to 150 seated (200 cocktail), or the Buffalo View Room for more intimate celebrations of up to 70 seated (100 cocktail).
Your menu is built around the produce this region is known for, like Milawa chicken, High Country beef, and abundant seasonal ingredients sourced locally, served through Restaurant Merlot with an extensive wine list that showcases the North East’s best.
Wedding packages start from $195 per person.
Forty individually appointed guest rooms, including two bridal suites, mean your entire guest list can stay on-site. King beds, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows — no one needs to organise transport or leave early. A dedicated wedding coordinator manages the logistics from planning through to the day.
Cost: From $195pp
Capacity: 70–150 seated depending on space (up to 200 cocktail)
Ceremony options: Indoor and outdoor
Milawa suits couples who want a relaxed, destination weekend wedding where the food and wine of the King Valley are central to the experience, and where everyone stays under the same roof.
“Where do I start? What a beautiful, hidden gem in the valley that we were so lucky to have our wedding at. All made possible by the beautiful Olivia. The location is stunning, the hotel itself was so beautifully decorated and felt every bit premium. The meals were 10/10. I wish I could relive the day because it was incredible.”
