Chateau Elan at The Vintage

Chateau Elan is situated on The Vintage golf course and is a bit of a luxury travel destination in itself. Lavish accommodation, a collection of indoor and outdoor wedding venues, an award-winning spa and an 18-hole golf course designed by golf champion Greg Norman combine to set the ideal backdrop for a long, relaxing wedding weekend.

From the sandstone chapel to the elegant dining spaces, Chateau Elan offers a range of beautiful wedding venues overlooking Hunter Valley. You can, of course, host both your ceremony and reception on the grounds, but you might also opt to host a welcome party the day before or a farewell brunch following your wedding day. As far as the size of your gathering, Chateau Elan welcomes intimate weddings of just 20 guests or up to 330 guests, or if you'd like to bring in a marquee on the lawns, your guest size can scale accordingly.

Location:

Ideally positioned in the stunning Hunter Valley wine region's Rothbury, Chateau Elan at The Vintage is two hours' drive north of Sydney or 45-minutes from the Newcastle airport.

Top three things you'll love about your Chateau Elan wedding:
