Alberta & Vincent - Rochford Wines Wedding, Coldstream

Rochford Wines is a large winery estate on the Maroondah Highway at Coldstream, at the front door of the Yarra Valley. It is as much an events property as a vineyard: a lake with a lawn beside it, Isabella’s Restaurant, a pizzeria on a deck over the water, and an outdoor stage that has hosted A Day on the Green since 2004. Couples marry on the Lawn, the covered Terrace or in the glass Conservatory, then move inside for up to 350 seated.

The estate is broad and flat, so the frames come from the water and the ranges rather than from height. Vine rows run beside the lake, and the view opens east to the Great Dividing Range. Veri photographs weddings across the Yarra Valley and is available at Rochford.
