Celebration Of Life
Saying goodbye to a loved one is never easy, but at Riverlea Winery Estate, we understand the importance of a unique end-of-life celebration that honours the memory of your loved one.
We are pleased to offer our beautiful venue of Celebration of Life events, providing a serene, versatile and uplifting setting to honour and remember loved ones.
Service Locations
The Apple Blossom
For intimate services, the Apple Blossom provides a picturesque backdrop to honour your loved one. Positioned before the black marble fountain and the ivy-clad Juliet balcony, this area offers versatility, opening on pleasant days and providing shelter during inclement weather.
For larger gatherings, the Apple Blossom transforms into a space for post-service refreshments, where friends and family can gather to reminisce and share stories.
The Melva Room
Connected to the Apple Blossom room, The Melva Room offers ample space for friends, family, and the community to gather for your loved one’s service with capacity of 350 chairs plus standing room.
The expansive skylight bathes the room in natural light, enhancing the atmosphere during the service. Additionally, multiple screens ensure that everyone has a clear view of tribute videos, while surround sound ensures that every moment is heard and felt.
Private Family Spaces
The Retreat
The Homestead
Rubens Lounge
These three spaces serve as private retreats for you, your family, and close friends before the service.
Away from the main areas, they offer a peaceful and private environment for reflection before guests arrive.
Refreshments
Each of the featured spaces grants access to the Apple Blossom Room, where refreshment packages or bar tabs can be arranged.
Savouring refreshments allows for continued reminiscing and sharing of memories after bidding your final farewells to your friend or family member.
