TRANSCRIPT
SSttoonnyyrriiddggee WWeeddddiinngg PPaacckkaaggee Thank you for your inquiry regarding a wedding at Stonyridge. After reading through the package,
feel free to set up an appointment to meet with our wedding coordinator for a chance to view
the venue and look at some photos of Stonyridge Weddings.
The venue is suitable for any weather conditions; we can drop awnings and turn on gas
heaters to rapidly create a comfortable environment and can cater for up to 120 seated
guests.
The ceremony is usually held in the romantic beautiful setting of our olive grove or vines, with
the signing of the register upon a wine barrel, which is conveniently situated only a small
distance from our restaurant. Our veranda café is an ideal place for the reception for it is
intimate and open with a stunning lookout over the vineyard and olive grove.
I have enclosed a sample menu which will give you an indication of our cuisine style, wine list,
and a range of contact information to make planning your wedding here at Stonyridge a
stress free experience.
There are many fantastic photo opportunities on site, including the barrel cellar, rolling hillside vines,
ivory covered European style building and wrought iron entrance. If you wish to venture to one of
the beautiful beaches situated only five minutes away, we can pack a picnic basket for yourselves
and your bridal party with drinks and nibbles to take along!
A minimum spend is applicable to reserve exclusive use of the restaurant and vineyard grounds
area for your wedding. This ensures that the Restaurant is saved exclusively for your use that entire
day and evening which allows friends and contractors to set up equipment or decorations at any
time of the day. The minimum spend is based on normal turnover on an a la carte restaurant day.
All costs are listed under the ‘terms and conditions’ section.
Waiheke is very well set up to cater for your special day and has an excellent transportation
system whether you need to transport individuals or large groups.
There is also an excellent selection of accommodation, florists, musicians and all other associated
services. We are more than happy to help make recommendations or advise if you are finding
some aspects of planning difficult – especially those of you organising from overseas!
We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
The Team at Stonyridge

TThhee VVeennuuee Stonyridge is nestled in a sheltered North-facing valley of shimmering olive trees, rows of
colourful vines and picturesque vistas reminiscent of the South of France. It is not only the
vineyard site of one of the most sought after red wines in the country (Larose), but it also
has one of the most romantic and exotic venues in the greater Auckland area. It is an
ideal location for café dining, corporate functions and weddings.
Weddings are special to the team here at Stonyridge because we only do a limited
number each year. Just like our wine production, we are preoccupied by quality, not
quantity.
Our restaurant is open 7 days, all year round from 11.30am to 5.00pm with a selection of
stylish canapés, mains and desserts to choose from. Naturally we close the café off to the
public when weddings are booked. We specialise in Waiheke and organic wines by the
glass, not to mention our own products, which are often not available elsewhere.
We also offer tours of the vineyard and winery. Guests are taken on a guided stroll (the
emphasis is on stroll, bearing in mind guests are dressed for a wedding!) through the olive
grove, vineyard and then into the cellar. The tour is designed to be casual and friendly,
yet technically informative but most of all fun! The tour charge is normally $10 per person
but we can offer you the reduced price of $5 per person in conjunction with your
wedding reception, as it is a great way to add to the experience of a vineyard wedding.
Daily throughout summer, Stonyridge participates in the Fullers Winery Tour; this tour group
visits our vineyard from 12.15 to 1pm, every day of the year. We ensure that this group is
kept totally separate from where your wedding is being held, so there is no disruption to
your special day.
Please arrange a visit to our beautiful island so you can meet our wedding coordinator
and the rest of the team and enjoy what we have to offer.
"It overlooks the vines, olive grove and lavender field and serves delicious nibbles and one of the
country's best wines – Stonyridge Larose. This is one winery café that's everything you've always
wanted a winery café to be."
Joelle Thomson, NZ Herald
Hi David, gosh I don't know where to begin! Thank you and your team at Stonyridge so so
much for giving us the wedding day of our dreams! Everything was absolutely perfect - the
setting, the tables, the food, the wine, the service, and all your staff were just the best, and we
honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. I will be highly recommending Stonyridge to
everyone I know, because it was just the most perfect venue! All of our guests have
commented on how magical the day was. You truly have the best venue in New Zealand in
our opinion. Thank you so much. We will hopefully be visited again soon - maybe for our 1st
anniversary!
Thank you again, so much! We will treasure the day forever.

100% barrel fermented and aged in French Oak, with 25% being new. On the nose, ripe peach and nectarine

Stonyridge Cabernet Franc Merlot $55 Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot
Waiheke Island 2016
Grown in the Eastern Hills of Waiheke Island, this classic Cabernet Franc predominant right bank Bordeaux

cherry and Christmas cake aromas with subtle spice and vanilla notes. The palate is medium-bodied but
pure and elegant, with great finesse and length.
Stonyridge Syrah $65 Syrah

to promote freshness and brightness. Produced as an earlier drinking, fruit forward style of wine, the 2016
vintage displays ripe spicy fruit, with subtle French oak characters. On the palate, this Syrah has fine, soft
tannin, sweet generous fruit through the mid-palate with pleasing length and balance.

Waiheke Island 2016
On the nose, intense aromas of plum, red cherry and violets combine with well integrated French oak over a
complex spic bouquet. The freshness and vibrancy of the 2016 vintage is to the fore in the wine, but will benefit
from medium term cellaring. The palate at this youthful stage is tight and focussed, with lively acidity and a firm
structure. The mid-palate has generous fruit sweetness and breadth, and finishes with great length.
Stonyridge Luna Negra Sold Out Hillside Malbec
Waiheke Island 2016
On the nose, dark brambly fruit layered with chocolate and coffee are supported by a generous level of
quality tight grained French oak. The freshness and vibrancy of the 2016 vintage are to the fore in this wine,
and will benefit from medium to long term cellaring to knit the elements of this fine wine together. The palate is
taut and firm, with great tannin grip at this youthful stage of its development, and with the density of sweet fruit
through the palate, makes for generous mouth-filling wine.

Stonyridge Estate Wines Stonyridge Larose - Vintage availability Celebrating 31 vintages of Larose Glass $60 Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Carménère Waiheke Island
Gentle north facing slopes that are sheltered from the cool southerly winds by the ridge which gives Stonyridge
its name, providing the perfect climatic conditions for ripening the Bordeaux grape varietals. The 3rd vintage of
Larose, 1987, won the trophy for best Bordeaux style blend in New Zealand and was hailed as the greatest red
wine ever to be made in New Zealand, vindicating Stephen’s foresight and commitment to making the finest
wine in the nation.
We use hands-on, labour intensive viticultural techniques to chase perfection in each and every vintage. We
have the most experienced production team on Waiheke that pursue this goal with passion each and every
harvest. 31 vintages and counting, Larose is now considered to be the most collectable wine in New Zealand,
a reputation that is the envy of the country’s industry.
July 2011 - Stonyridge Larose 2006 has outclassed the world’s best-known and respected wines in a blind tasting of 387
Cabernet
Sauvignon blends held by Australia’s largest wine magazine Winestate. Our 2006 vintage was awarded 5 stars, first equal
ahead of big Bordeaux names such as Chateau Latour 2006, Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2006 & Chateau Lafite Rothschild
2007
2008 Larose 94 Points from Neal Martin for Robert Parker’s “The Wine Advocate”
2010 Larose 93+ Points from Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker’s “The Wine Advocate”
2013 Larose 94 Points from Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker’s “The Wine Advocate”
Stonyridge Larose has been named as the top Cabernet Merlot in Australia for 2013 in The Sydney Morning Herald and The
Age Annual Good Wine Guide by Nick Stock November 2012 with a score of 97!!
This is the highest equal score for any red wine in Australia and is higher than Grange or Torbreck wines . We have also just
been named the top Bordeaux Blend in NZ in the NZ Herald (January 2013).

Your WEDDING FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does the minimum spend include? Are there any hidden costs?
It includes all food and beverage, staff, organisation, activities on the day, tables and chairs, and
more importantly: exclusive use of the venue from 12:00pm to midnight. There are no ‘hidden

morning.
What can our guests do while we’re having photos?
We have facilities on our property for Petanque and a wine tour/tasting. These costs will be
included as part of the minimum spend.
You are also more than welcome to arrange Seg Wai to come to Stonyridge with their Segway's
for fun games on our front field. This is an additional expense, see the Events Manager for
associated costs.
What are the table sizes? How many fit on each table?
We use trestle tables, sized 0.76 x 2.4 metres. Each table comfortably sits 10, with 4 on each side
and 1 on each end. You may choose the location and size of the bridal table, so this
measurement will vary depending on each couple.
How do we arrange transportation and lodging for our guests? Where should we order our flowers
from? Who should we choose as our celebrant?
In the back of our wedding package we have a phone directory of every service provider we
recommend. Should you require further assistance, please contact the Events Manager.
Where is the ceremony held? May we have the ceremony elsewhere and have our reception at
Stonyridge?
Ceremonies may be held anywhere on the Stonyridge premises. Most popularly they are held in
the olive grove, on the yoga deck and inside the veranda café. You may hold your ceremony
elsewhere, such as on the beach or at a church then come to us for your reception.
May we bring a DJ or band?
You may bring any music you like. We have the facilities for an iPod and/or mp3 player. A DJ or
band must provide all of their own sound equipment. This cost (for the music and/or the sound
equipment) is not included in the minimum spend.
What happens if it’s raining?
Rain is a good omen on a wedding day! Should it rain, the ceremony (if not being held off the
premises) would be held inside the Veranda Café. The vineyard tour & tasting can still run out off
the wine cellar. The café can be completely enclosed from the rain. We also have indoor gas
heaters.
What is the staff to guest ratio?
We generally provide 1 staff person for every 13 guests. Therefore, if your wedding is for 100
people, we will provide approx. 7-8 staff. Please contact us with any special requests.

How is the food served?
Each wedding menu includes canapés to be served by our wait staff before dinner. Should you
choose the Eternity menu, grazing platters will be served once the guests are seated (an
opportune time for speeches).
Each table of 10 receives 2 large platters accompanied by sides of bread. These platters are not
included in the Devotion menu, in which it is platters of bread and olive oil.
Mains are catered to provide one piece of each meat per guest as chosen by you (i.e. one piece
of chicken, sirloin and fish). These are served to each guest individually. The sides are served on
large platters on each table for each guest to help themselves.
Desserts are also brought out as platters for each table. Should you bring a wedding cake, we are
happy to portion it and supply plates and cutlery.
What happens if we don’t reach the minimum spend?
The difference will be given to you in gift certificates and/or wine limited to a one year expiry date.
Do you have children’s options?
We have a child’s plate available for $20.00. It includes chicken, ham, bread, salad, aioli, fruit and
marshmallows (happy to cater to dietary requirements and special requests).
When is the last ferry back to downtown Auckland?
Monday to Saturdays – 12:30am | Sundays – 11:15pm
How do we order a bottle of vintage Stonyridge Larose to mark our wedding year?

Hi Rachel, I have been meaning to drop you line myself to thank you and your team for all your wonderful work
for our wedding day. Working with you has been nothing but a pleasure and I would highly recommend you as an event coordinator. In particular, your flexibility in accommodating our
culinary and stylistic requests was outstanding and much appreciated. On the day itself your calm demeanour meant that I too trusted I could pull off what was about to occur. Thank you for steading the ship. I can't wait until we gather and can print off the best of the photos to remind ourselves of
the magical day that did happen in real life!
Very best regards, Sara & Priti x February 2015
