About

Steeped in history and character, the recently-restored Rutherglen Convent was built in 1927 and is surrounded by the delightful wine-making township of Rutherglen. Located 3 hours from Melbourne our unique, family-owned property allows couples looking for freedom and beauty to plan a wedding that tells their own love story. Our couples have exclusive access to the entire convent building and grounds and can host a ceremony and cocktail reception of up to 100 guests (50 sit-down).

Due to the unique nature of the property there are a number of ceremony and reception options including the thoughtfully-restored Chapel with intricate lead-light windows, the grand front steps and landscaped front gardens under the shade of the giant oak tree, the ground floor original classroom
