Just say 'I do' 

With views over lily-covered lakes, endless vines and green pastures and with Mt Arthur as a backdrop, Leaning Church vineyard is simply stunning. 

Our estate has endless picturesque corners and vistas, lending itself to both formal and informal photography, with ample settings for both. 

For that special day, it's an unrivaled all-in-one wedding venue. Our historic 'leaning' church carries all the character of its one hundred years and is pretty as a picture.  And our garden wedding service lawn has the most stunning views over the vineyard to towering Mt Arthur.

This, and our event management experience and venue capacity means you can spend the whole of your special day in one gorgeous location. 

Step from your car into the beautiful landscaped grounds, make your way to the church or an outdoor service to say 'I do' against a stunning backdrop, then on to the drinks lawn and marquee for your Tasmanian feast.
