Mayfield Vineyard Unveils ‘The Grove’: A Striking New Event Space in the Heart of Orange Wine Country

Mayfield Vineyard, one of Orange’s premier wedding and event destinations, is proud to announce the official opening of The Grove, a brand-new event space designed to host unforgettable celebrations, from romantic weddings and social gatherings to bespoke corporate events. 

Opened last month, The Grove enhances the estate’s offerings, complementing the vineyard’s much-loved School House venue and historic Homestead.

Set amid rolling vineyards and tranquil countryside, The Grove (with a capacity of 150 seated and 180 cocktail) offers a contemporary, country setting that merges seamlessly with its vineyard surroundings. With expansive views, the new venue adds a fresh dimension to Mayfield’s already renowned event and accommodation offerings.

The Grove joins The School House and the Mayfield Homestead, a beautifully restored residence set within 3.6 hectares of established gardens and arboretum. The grounds are home to a rare and historic collection of Northern Hemisphere tree species, providing a breathtaking backdrop for ceremonies, photography, and relaxed garden gatherings.

“We’re excited to unveil The Grove as a new venue that expands the opportunities for our guests,” said Mayfield Vineyard’s owner Rebecca Eastham. “Whether it’s a wedding, milestone celebration, or corporate retreat, our guests now have the flexibility to host events across several unique, picturesque settings within one estate.”

Located just minutes from the heart of Orange, Mayfield Vineyard is a celebrated destination for those seeking stylish country elegance paired with premium cool-climate wines and heritage charm. With bookings now open for The Grove, Mayfield continues to set the standard for premium regional event experiences.

Mayfield Vineyard: The history of Mayfield dates to 1813 when William Charles Wentworth became one of the first Europeans to cross the Blue Mountains. He was granted the ‘Mayfield’ property as thanks from the Governor of NSW. The property grew and prospered under various custodians before the Thomas family purchased the property in 1998 and planted its first vineyard. In 2021 Mayfield was acquired by the Eastham family who later acquired the adjoining vineyard, reuniting the original Mayfield property. In 2023 the Mayfield ‘Block 14 Chardonnay was awarded the ‘Trophy, Best NSW/ACT Chardonnay’ at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards.
