Its event team offers tailored packages, bespoke menus and flexible use of the venue, including full-restaurant hire for exclusive occasions.
The spaces are designed for different kinds of gatherings.

Saturday High Tea is Bacchus’s other signature experience, pairing handcrafted savouries, sweets, premium teas and sparkling wine in an elegant setting. It is a natural choice for birthdays, bridal showers, baby celebrations or an indulgent weekend gathering, although bookings are required. For wine enthusiasts, the venue also hosts tasting events, including a Seppeltsfield-focused experience with Barossa and Clare Valley wines, cheese and antipasto.
