Rachel & Joseph - Josef Chromy Wines Wedding, Relbia

Josef Chromy Wines is a winery estate at Relbia, about ten minutes south of Launceston in Tasmania’s Tamar Valley. The cellar door is in an 1880s homestead, opened in 2006, with the winery finished in 2007 and the restaurant added in 2012. Sixty-one hectares of vines run over the slopes around a lake, and a century-old garden sits between the homestead and the water. Josef Chromy founded the estate in 2007 at the age of 76, having arrived in Australia from Czechoslovakia in 1950.

Ceremonies are held at the lakeside pavilion, which seats around fifty with room for more standing, and the couple then walks up through the garden to the restaurant, which seats 150 for dinner or takes 350 for a cocktail reception. Veri photographed a full day here, with the bride getting ready at a hotel in Launceston and the ceremony and reception both on the estate.
