Thursday 25th June, the Vine Room at Bendooley Estate transforms into something altogether extraordinary.

RARE BIRD ensemble returns with Love and Forgetting, the cabaret dining experience that captivated our guests earlier this year. But a winter night at Bendooley is a different thing entirely. The fires will be burning and the Vine Room takes on a warmth that only comes when the cold sets in outside.

From your seat at the table, a bartender becomes a storyteller, carrying you through stories, songs and tall tales that move between the banks of the Murrumbidgee and the heights of Manhattan. A beautifully crafted three course dinner alongside it, and somewhere along the way the line between audience and evening quietly disappears.

This is not simply a show you watch. It is an evening you become part of.

Thursday 25 June. 6pm. $145 per person. We would love to see you there.

This one is for the book lovers.

In partnership with Gathered Retreats, we are hosting our very first Readers Retreat from Friday 3 to Monday 6 July. Four days built entirely around reading, rest and really good food. The kind of long weekend most of us have been meaning to give ourselves for a very long time.

Stay in The Homestead, dine in The Book Barn, lose yourself in the historic streets of Berrima and spend your evenings by the fire with a glass of Bendooley Estate wine and the company of people who love books as much as you do.

If you know someone who needs this, tag them below.

Supplier Spotlight: Oberon Lane

There are suppliers who do a wonderful job, and then there are the ones who feel like part of the family. For us, Oberon Lane has always been the latter.

Elle May and her team have been bringing world class live music to Bendooley weddings for over ten years. Based in Bowral and deeply connected to the Southern Highlands wedding community, they specialise in curating bespoke music experiences that feel entirely personal to every couple they work with.

Acoustic soloists, string quartets, full bands, DJs, MCs and more, all handpicked from a carefully curated roster of Australia's finest performers.

Their most popular package at Bendooley flows beautifully from acoustic ceremony music right through to DJ reception, and if they suggest adding a saxophone, our advice is to say yes every time.

Ten years of extraordinary music at Bendooley. We could not be more grateful.

There is something about watching a dish come together that makes it taste even better.

At Leo's by Night, every plate is considered from the first element to the last. This week that includes our kingfish crudo with preserved lemon, fried capers, wasabi tobiko roe, ruby grapefruit and saffron emulsion, a beautifully prepared fish of the day and slow-roasted eggplant that is far more than the sum of its parts.

Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 6pm in our Cellar Door.

Reservations via our website.

On Friday 26 June our Cellar Door transforms into an intimate dining space for one very special night. Our Executive Chef has designed a seasonal set menu crafted entirely around the wines of the Bendooley cellar, and our winemaker Jonathan will be your guide throughout the evening, walking you through each match and sharing the stories behind every pour.

The evening includes canapes on arrival, a three course set menu, a cheese course to finish and matched wines throughout.

Supplier Spotlight: Live Wedding Painting

Some wedding details you remember forever. This is one of them.

Teresa and Bernadette, sisters and live wedding portrait painters, bring something to a wedding day that is truly unlike anything else. While the celebration unfolds around them, they paint a realistic portrait of the couple live on canvas for all the guests to watch. By the end of the reception, a finished, heirloom quality artwork is presented to the couple to take home and treasure for a lifetime.

After six years and four hundred weddings, their process is as seamless as it is stunning. Equal parts entertainment and art, and the kind of thing guests talk about long after the day is done.

We absolutely love having Teresa and Bernadette at Bendooley. Based in Sydney with no travel fees to Berrima, they are truly wonderful to work with.

Congratulations to Josh and Nikita, who were married at The Book Barn here at Bendooley Estate during the most beautiful stretch of autumn we have seen in a while.

Golden light, turning leaves and two people who made the whole day feel completely effortless. Hilary Cam Photography captured every moment of it beautifully, and we are so glad they did.

What an honour to have been part of your day. Congratulations you two.

The Cellar Door in winter might just be our favourite version of it.

A wood fire, winter light pouring through the doors and a glass of cool-climate estate wine in hand. Our team will guide you through each pour, sharing the story and craft behind every bottle. The kind of afternoon that has a way of stretching well beyond what you planned.

And if you find yourself not quite ready to leave when the sun goes down, you do not have to. Thursday through Saturday from 6:30pm, Leo's by Night takes over the space with a curated dinner menu that makes staying for the evening feel like the obvious choice.

Book a tasting or reserve your table at Leo's via the link in bio. We would love to see you this winter.

Supplier Spotlight: Bee Bright Fairy Lights

There is a moment at every Bendooley wedding when someone looks up and their breath catches just a little. More often than not, Kat is the reason why.

Bee Bright Fairy Lights has been weaving their magic across the ceilings of Bendooley since 2017, creating fairy light canopies that turn already beautiful spaces into something truly unforgettable. A starry sky overhead, the people you love around you, and a dance floor that feels like it was made for exactly this moment.

After seventeen years working weddings and events, Kat brings a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion to every single installation. Her approach has always been the same. A little extra sparkle, a touch of magic, and memories that last a lifetime.

We are so grateful to have her in our corner, and so are every couple who has ever looked up on their wedding night.
