Avondale – Extraordinary venue for special events

Avondale is blessed with the backdrop of the Klein Drakenstein Mountains, and views across vineyards to Paarl and its famous granite outcrop, Paarl Rock. The estate boasts 300 hectares of vines, fields and beautiful gardens in which our stunning Cape vernacular-style house and cellar are set.  From the vine-covered terrace and gardens, to the amphitheatre and pond, Avondale never fails to enthrall as a summer venue for everything from corporate meetings to weddings.

But there is so much more that we have to offer, even in the depths of winter.

Our elegant Tasting Gallery, its walls lined with evocative artworks by Scats Esterhuyse, can be hired for formal lunches or dinners, private parties or music recitals. The long table, decorated with fresh flowers, candles and crisp linens, combined with a roaring fire in the huge hearth make a breathtaking setting.

Our Cellar, with its vaulted ceiling and oak barrels of maturing wine, makes an intimate and atmospheric venue for winter weddings, dinners or events.

If you’re looking for somewhere special to host a corporate event, we can plan a personalised event for your company.  Why not host your board meeting or conference in our boardroom, and combine it with a private tasting of our wines and a lunch or dinner.

If you’re looking for something different, how about wrapping up warm and taking your clients or guests on our Eco Wine Safari around our estate – each tour is individual and takes you on a journey around the vineyards, the cellar and concludes with a wine tasting in our Tasting Gallery.

And if the winter sun comes out, sit on the terrace or lawns and indulge in an Avondale Lunch Platter – designed to share, they make a perfect relaxed meal allowing you to unwind.

Choose Avondale, whatever the weather, to make your event extraordinary.
