Weddings at Jack Rabbit Vineyard – Your Guide to a Bay-View & Vines Classic (Bellarine Peninsula)
Chasing that Bellarine Peninsula vibe — panoramic bay views, vineyards and a smooth all-in-one run-sheet? A Jack Rabbit Vineyard wedding nails it: an epic ceremony location, effortless portraits among the vines, and a reception in one of two beautiful spaces — Jack Rabbit Restaurant or the House of Jack Rabbit. Views stretch across the bay to the You Yangs and even the Melbourne skyline, so the backdrop is doing half the work for your photos. Amazing golden hour location (as you'll see in the photos below!).
Ceremony options (two great looks)
1) Lawn with panoramic bay views
This is the epic ceremony space that Jack Rabbit Vineyard is known for. Has to be the prettiest ceremony space backdrop in Victoria, right? Say your vows with sweeping water + vineyard vistas. It’s spacious for guests and perfect for group photos right after the kiss.
2) Deck or undercover pivot
If the weather turns, shift to a covered deck or inside without losing the outlook or the timeline. The venue’s ceremony locations are designed to keep everything close.
Reception: choose your room & vibe
- Jack Rabbit Restaurant – French-provincial, contemporary styling with an expansive deck and those hero bay views; ideal for classic seated dining and a lively dancefloor.
- House of Jack Rabbit – cool, industrial-chic space with a sun-drenched deck and fireplace: great for cocktail style or smaller, modern receptions. (Ask about micro-wedding options if you’re keeping it intimate.)
Capacity & timings (guide only): many third-party guides list around 140 seated / 200 cocktail and a 5-hour base event window; always confirm your layout and run time with the events team.
Best photo spots
- The ceremony space also doubles as a great portrait option (and is perfect for family photos etc.), with the ocean in the background.
- Vineyard rows immediately following the ceremony for that back-lit vibe.
- Head over to the rolling hill for sunset silhouettes before you head inside.
