The Hunting Lodge is a chic, modern-industrial venue set within a 60-hectare estate in West Auckland’s wine country. The centerpiece is the "Black Barn," a striking contemporary reception space with high ceilings and dark timber that offers a stylish alternative to traditional rustic venues. The estate features multiple ceremony spots, including a hilltop with views across the valley and a romantic forest glade. With a focus on "farm-to-fork" dining and estate-grown wines, the atmosphere is relaxed yet highly sophisticated. It is the perfect choice for couples who want a contemporary vineyard wedding with plenty of space for lawn games and outdoor social sessions.
"In summer, it can be scorching, so get married in the shade of the trees up behind the main ceremony space."
If The Hunting Lodge isn't quite right, here are a few other venues I love working at.
