We had a blast on our road trip (despite the hail storm) and we got to see our entire “A” list but didn’t have the chance to see the “B” list venues.
Notes & photos of each venue to help narrow down the one!
Tamburlaine - No
Atmosphere: **
Style: Gentleman’s lodge, space was big but very “function room” looking
Size: 200 max
Comments: Not a great deal of character except for the lake. Disabled access/facilities were very average and the mixed eclectic artwork that filled the blue walls was very taste specific.
Hungerford Hill – Possibility
Atmosphere: **
Style: Clean, very contemporary
Size: 130 max
Comments: A little to contemporary & formal, so doesn’t fit with the style I was hoping for, however it can accommodate a larger group.
Event manager/planner did not show for our meeting !
The Vintage - Possibility
Atmosphere: **
Style: Mixed & slapdash, building is an odd awkward shape at the edge of the property.
Size: 120 max
Comments: Dance floor area is at the side of a building with no cover and can’t be used if it rains?? Event planner was quite short, inflexible and seemed uninterested. On the whole the overall feeling was not a very positive one.
Peterson’s champagne House – Possibility
Atmosphere: ****
Style: Classic, old sandstone building with modern amenities - lots of character
Size: 106 max
Comment: We both loved the atmosphere & décor at Peterson’s, lots of character & charm. Very similar to the barrel room, stone building, vineyards and lake. Size could be an issue, however if all else fails they do have an area in the middle of the vineyard where we could have a marquee if REALLY needed.
