WITH 360 degree views of the Yackandandah Valley, Annie’s Retreat, Vineyard, Orchard & Outdoor Event Centre sits atop a small hillock which offers guests the perfect backdrop for their wedding photos.
Although the property is nestled near the snowfields, they rarely receive snow, instead, you will be treated to gorgeous sunset views, beautiful gardens and a working vineyard.
To take advantage of the best weather, event bookings are between September and March each year.
Husband and wife team Anthony Muhlebach and Anne Taylor are your hosts at Annie’s Retreat and delight in working with couples to organise an affordable and unique wedding day at their venue.
Trained wait staff can be organised to assist your chosen caterer or supplier and there are two areas available - one for ceremonies and one for the reception with photo opportunities in the vineyard or five acres of landscaped gardens including a beautiful rose arbour.
There are Angus cattle which are fantastic for real ‘country-themed’ wedding parties.
When they are not taking care of guests at weddings and events, Anne and Anthony are hard at work in the vineyard and have produced two vintages so far - a Sparkling Shiraz bottled in 2018 and the Muhlebach Series Shiraz in 2021.
Part of their farmhouse is also available to rent on AirBnB with many visitors choosing to make their base at Annie’s and exploring the nearby snowfields, historic towns and bike trails each day of their stay.
Small wedding parties can also be accommodated at the farmhouse.
So when you are considering where to have your wedding or your next event, make Annie’s Retreat, Vineyard, Orchard & Outdoor Event Centre the top of your list.
