Best Outdoor Wedding Venues in Swan Valley: Top Scenic Locations for Your Dream Winery Wedding

So, you’re dreaming of saying “I do” surrounded by vineyards, under the open sky, with a light breeze rustling through gum trees and the soft clink of wine glasses in the background? Welcome to Swan Valley, one of Western Australia’s most enchanting outdoor wedding destinations. Just 25 minutes from Perth, it’s a place where timeless romance meets rustic charm—with a generous splash of Shiraz.

Let’s take a stroll through this sun-soaked paradise and explore the best Swan Valley wedding locations that will leave your hearts (and guestbooks) full.

Why Swan Valley is a Secret Wedding Wonder

Let’s get one thing clear: Swan Valley is criminally underrated. This region is all about lush vineyards, rolling hills, golden sunsets, and a wine list that could make your uncle forget he ever tried to sing ABBA at your engagement party.

More than just a pretty face, Swan Valley brings ease to wedding planning:

it’s close to Perth Airport (hello, destination weddings!)
loaded with incredible food, wine, and scenery
and packed with venues that cater to everything from intimate garden ceremonies to grand vineyard soirées.

Top Outdoor Wedding Venues in Swan Valley 🍷💍

1. Sittella Winery

Visit Site

This Mediterranean-inspired estate has “romantic sunset ceremony” written all over it. Think: earthy tones, sprawling vines, a gazebo overlooking a lake. The kind of place where vows echo with poetry and the photos are straight-up cinematic.
Bonus: their veranda is perfect for receptions under fairy lights and stars.

“We fell in love with Sittella at first sight. It felt like Tuscany… but with better rosé.” – Rachel & Marco, married March 2023

2. Sandalford Wines

Visit Site

If you’re going for that elegant winery wedding aesthetic (yes, we see you, Pinterest board), Sandalford delivers on every level. Vineyards? Check. Manicured lawns? Check. Exceptional wine and food? Triple check.

Their Merlot Lawn is a ceremony dreamscape, and receptions in the Oak Room feel like stepping into a wine-lovers’ fairy tale.

3. Brookleigh Estate

Visit Site

Imagine a French chateau plucked from the Loire Valley and dropped into the Aussie countryside—voilà, you’ve got Brookleigh. Horse stables, lakeside ceremony spots, and storybook gardens create the ideal canvas for your love story. Also, their on-site accommodation means no late-night Uber dramas.

4. Caversham House

Visit Site

If you’ve ever dreamed of walking down a petal-strewn aisle beside a waterfall (yes, an actual waterfall), this is your place. Caversham House combines heritage charm with modern elegance. Their Hidden Gardens are just magic—lush, intimate, and utterly unforgettable.

5. Oakover Grounds

Visit Site

Oakover is all about that laid-back, rustic romance. Picture it: you, your love, a lakeside ceremony, long tables under festoon lights, barefoot dancing on the lawn. The food? Farm-to-plate. The wine? Locally adored. The vibe? Effortlessly chill, forever stylish.

Practical Tips for Your Outdoor Swan Valley Wedding 🌿

☀️ Plan for the Weather
This is Australia, darling—sunshine one moment, surprise shower the next. Have a Plan B (like a marquee or indoor space) just in case. Most top venues offer flexible options.

🌸 Choose the Right Season
Spring (September–November) brings blooms and gentle warmth. Autumn (March–May) offers moody skies and rich vineyard colours—think burgundy leaves, golden light, and those photos.

📸 Hire a Local Photographer
Ahem—hi there! I’ve captured countless magical moments in Swan Valley. From light-drenched vineyards to moody sunsets over lakes, I know every dreamy angle and golden-hour trick in the book.

🍷 Feature Local Wine & Food
Swan Valley is home to some of Australia’s best boutique producers. Incorporating local wine, cheese boards, or grazing tables? Chef’s kiss.
