What Experiences and Venue Hire Options Does Silos Estate Offer?

Silos Estate, a working vineyard at Berry on the South Coast of NSW, offers seven distinct experiences under one property: cellar door tastings, dining, cottage accommodation, wedding and event hosting, alpaca visits and products, online shopping, and EV charging. You can combine several in a single visit — taste, eat, stay, and meet the alpacas — or book the venue for a private event. Tastings require a booking, and the cellar door is open 7 days a week, 11am–5pm, except Christmas Day.

Taste at the Cellar Door

The cellar door is the entry point for most visits. It pours the estate's own Silos Estate wines alongside Wileys Creek Wine, and serves plates of local produce.

• Opening hours: 11am–5pm daily, closed only on Christmas Day.
• Bookings: Tastings should be booked in advance through the site's booking link.
• Walk-ins: Accepted subject to availability, so a booking is the safer option on weekends and holidays.

Eat at Silos Kitchen

The on-site restaurant serves what the estate describes as award-winning local produce. It sits in the same location as the cellar door, which makes a tasting-plus-lunch visit straightforward. Note that the kitchen's own service hours are not stated on the page — only the cellar door hours are given — so confirm before planning a meal-only trip.

Stay in Vineyard Accommodation

Silos Estate offers cottage accommodation overlooking the vineyards, positioned for a weekend stay or longer. This is the option to choose if you want the cellar door and restaurant within walking distance rather than driving back to Berry or elsewhere after a tasting.

Host a Wedding, Corporate Event, or Shoot

The estate markets itself as a venue for:

• Weddings
• Corporate events
• Location shoots (film and photography)

The property describes the setting as "picture perfect," and the combination of vineyard, restaurant, and accommodation means a wedding party or corporate group can use one site for ceremony, catering, and lodging. Specific capacity, packages, and pricing are not published on the page — enquiries go through the site's contact or booking path.

See and Buy Alpaca Products

Silos Estate keeps alpacas and runs what it calls the largest alpaca outlet on the South Coast. You can see the animals and buy alpaca products, either on site or through the online shop.

Shop Online

The online store covers wine, gift cards, hampers, and alpaca products, delivered to your door. A checkout page exists on the site, so online ordering is an active function rather than a catalogue only. Prices, shipping costs, and delivery areas are not stated in the source material — check the checkout page for current terms.

Charge an EV

The estate hosts one of what it describes as the largest EV charging stations in Australia, using renewables. This makes it a practical stop on a South Coast drive: charge while you taste, eat, or stay.

Land by Air

The site lists a "Land" option — flying in to stay, wine, or dine. This is relevant if you are arriving by light aircraft rather than road; the page does not publish runway details or prior-permission requirements, so confirm directly before planning a fly-in visit.

Choosing Between Options

One practical note from the estate's own social posts: the cellar door is a working, animal-friendly property — its winery dog Suri was a long-standing greeter, and staff have been involved in local wildlife rescue. If you are visiting with pets or children, or expect a quiet tasting room, it is worth asking about the current setup when you book.
