Markovina Estate

Markovina Vineyard Estate does not offer accommodation directly on-site for overnight stays. ​However, because it is a popular wedding venue in Kumeū, there are several close-by accommodation options just a few minutes away for bridal parties and guests.

The wedding package at Markovina Vineyard Estate is thoughtfully designed to encompass all the desired features for couples and to guarantee that you and your guests will receive impeccable care throughout the day.

This is your special day, and our team will help customise each element to create the wedding of your dreams.

An additional unique service, which is extremely popular, is the inclusion of beverages (wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks) incorporated into an easy, per-person price.

Markovina Vineyard Estate in Kumeū offers plenty of dedicated on-site parking to accommodate large celebrations.

​Capacity: The private car park has dedicated space for up to 100 cars on-site.

​Overnight Parking: Guests are permitted to leave vehicles overnight if they plan to use alternative transport home, helping ensure everyone stays safe.

While the estate features expansive landscaped gardens, paths, and lawns, the main function spaces and key areas are designed to accommodate guests with mobility needs comfortably. If you have specific accessibility requirements for elderly guests or wheelchair users attending an event, it's always a good idea to chat directly with their events team to map out the smoothest pathways around the outdoor ponds and garden areas.

We are a dog-friendly venue. Couples are welcome to have their dogs join them for parts of their wedding day, such as walking down the aisle or participating in photos, making it a great option if you want your pet to be a part of the celebration.

Following your ceremony, guests are treated to a glass of bubbly or sparkling grape juice in the beautiful gardens, celebrating the newlyweds. As the wedding party takes photos, delightful canapés are served, with an open bar and garden games available for guest enjoyment.

The buffet menu offers extensive menu flexibility and table design freedom. Set in our own dedicated room, it's a popular choice, ensuring a fast-moving dining experience with diverse dish options for guests.

To provide the perfect finish to your wedding meal, a selection of individual sweet treats is served for your guests to indulge in. This is presented as a buffet, along with a fresh fruit platter and cheese selection. Freshly brewed coffee and a tea selection are also available for your guests throughout the day.

Because weddings and private functions here are booked exclusively for your event, families often find the private, secure estate environment very relaxed for little ones. The expansive outdoor gardens and open lawn spaces give children room to move around, though because the property features open water elements like ponds and a stream, parents will want to keep a close eye on younger children while exploring the grounds.

We have well-maintained, dedicated restroom facilities on-site to easily accommodate wedding guests throughout ceremonies and receptions.

There are expansive, beautifully landscaped grounds designed for guest relaxation. Throughout the gardens, meandering paths, lotus ponds, and creek areas, you'll find various outdoor spots and seating arrangements where guests can mingle, relax, and take in the scenery during a wedding.

While widely known as a wedding destination, the estate also hosts corporate events, retreats, family celebrations, and private parties, offering its indoor and outdoor spaces, catering, and expansive grounds for different types of gatherings.
