An absolutely magical place is Trofeo Estate. As soon as I arrived I fell in love with its rustic, yet elegant charm. It has everything you could want in a Mornington Peninsula Wedding Venue. As soon as you enter the 50 acre property, you are greeted by a beautifully tree lined driveway which sweeps you down past the vineyard nestled to the foothills of Red Hill .You carry on into the gorgeous exposed brick buildings which exude their long standing history. Firstly a passion fruit cannery circa 1930, a vineyard in the 50’s until a bush fire destroyed the first vines. After the fire it was used as a pasture and then vines were replanted in 1998.
The beauty of this charming wedding venue is it looks equally as pretty in Summer as it does in Winter. There are multiple outdoor areas to hold your ceremony. Under the shade of the trees to the back of the restaurant, or out a little further with the lake as the backdrop. The delightful restaurant offers an absolutely stunning and spacious plan B ceremony location in case of rain. With its high ceilings, large windows over looking the property and timeless exposed bricks, you couldn’t ask for a more beautiful indoor setting.
Trofeo Estate’s food and wine is heavenly, so they’ve got foodies covered. Boasting the Southern Hemisphere’s largest producer of Terracotta Wine title, they are passionate about producing wine in its purest form through organic and viticulture principles.
