- FFoodie Files Melbourne16/08/2024Lovely Venue with Stunning VistasLovely Venue with Stunning VistasAttended a wedding here and the venue is absolutely lovely. Stunning vistas and definitely one of the most impressive spots in the Yarra Valley for me (I’ve been to many a winery wedding). Food wise the servings were incredibly generous to the point where we couldn’t even finish the mains but it’s possibly also because the canapés were so phenomenal that I was hovering by the servers double parking. Would definitely recommend if you were planning on an intimate wedding (it’s a small space)Attended a wedding here and the venue is absolutely lovely.

- MMegan16/08/2024Riverstone Estate: The Perfect Wedding Venue!Riverstone Estate: The Perfect Wedding Venue!We had our wedding at Riverstone Estate in March 2020 and it was the best day of our lives! We can't talk more highly of the Riverstone team that helped us organise and plan our big day and the service on the day/night was incredible. At the initial meeting we knew it was the perfect place, just driving up the driveway and seeing the views was something very special. Upon arrival we were given a detailed tour of the property which is when we fell in love even more with this venue.We had our wedding at Riverstone Estate in March 2020 and it was the best day of our lives!
