About Us |
|
|
|
Blue Gum Country Estate is a 5 star lodge hidden in an undiscovered valley that ascends towards the small town of Stanford, just outside Hermanus.
The Estate is a working wine farm and developing vineyard. This magnificent 130 acre piece of paradise is perfect for those seeking an alternative route and destination to the garden route or a relaxing break from the city. It is also the perfect place for your wineland wedding.
The delightful estate, nestled among ancient Blue Gum trees, overlooks the leafy banks of the Klein Rivier and encourages guests to relax in tranquil beauty and endless luxury.

Your Wedding |
|



|
|
Blue Gum is the perfect venue for weddings anytime of year.
Venue options on the estate: Summer/ Spring: A favourite amongst our wedding parties is to be married outdoors, under the Blue Gum tree overlooking the pond and vineyards.
Winter/ Autumn: A cosy, heart-warming wedding indoors by the fireside.
Venue option on neighbouring farm: WitBlits Chapel: A quaint and charming chapel on our neighbouring farm overlooking rolling lawns. It is only a 8 minute walk from the Blue Gum restaurant and reception area.
The Blue Gum ceremony areas can be decorated, within reason, to the brides preferences in terms of colours, flower arrangements, hanging crystals, candles etc. The Chapel decorations may be more limited. Should chairs/ arbors etc be required Blue Gum can suggest hiring companies in the area – this will be for the bridal party to co-ordinate. All décor, chairs, arbors etc are the wedding party’s responsibility to setup and remove the day after the wedding.
Blue Gum can hold up to 120 wedding guests in the dining area, depending on the dance floor size preferred by the wedding party. A Marquee can be hired to seamlessly extend the restaurant area into the gardens if required.
The wedding party are welcome to use our tables and chairs, however any additional items such as cutlery, glassware, linen, etc must be hired at an additional cost. We can co-ordinate this for you.
