A restored Yarra Valley barn with its own chapel and two on-site places for guests to sleep.
The Setting
Stones of the Yarra Valley sits in Coldstream, in the Yarra Valley wine region outside Melbourne. The land was once part of the historic St Huberts vineyard, and the estate is now owned by the Napoleone family, long-time Yarra Valley farmers whose vineyards also grow for Punt Road Wines.
The venue grew from an old barn left idle for generations, restored as The Barn, with The Chapel beside it and The Stables added later. Today the estate also takes in Meletos, The Providore and two places to stay, so the whole weekend can happen in one place.
The day itself
Ceremonies can be held outdoors or in The Chapel, a non-denominational space seating 160 to 180, and if rain spoils an outdoor plan the ceremony moves into The Chapel at no extra cost. The Barn Restaurant, The Stables and Meletos give you other spaces to work with, and flowers can be done by the in-house florist.
The team has hosted weddings and celebrations here for two decades. The Barn takes 65 to 200 guests, The Stables up to 63 on exclusive hire and The Warehouse at Meletos 40 to 80. Lunch packages run four hours and dinner five. Dinner weddings finish by 11pm during daylight saving and by 10pm the rest of the year.
Where your guests stay
There are two places to sleep on the estate. The Farmhouse is a two-storey Tuscan-style building with 23 rooms, including the Tuscan Suite for the newlyweds, and The Villa has five ensuite bedrooms around a courtyard, including the Cortona Suite. For bigger lists, ask the team about other Yarra Valley stays nearby.
Guests can make a day of the valley's wineries, starting with Punt Road. Coldstream is about an hour's drive from Melbourne, so ask the team about transfers for guests.
Book The Villa for the wedding party. Five ensuite bedrooms around a courtyard give you a private base for getting ready, a short distance from The Chapel.
