Special Occasions
Set high amongst the rolling hills of Red Hill, Frogs Pond offers a setting of rare beauty for life's most meaningful occasions. Surrounded by thirty-year-old vines, olive groves and stone courtyards, the estate overlooks Port Phillip Bay and the distant Melbourne skyline, evoking the timeless character of the Tuscan countryside.
Private, secluded and available only for a select number of celebrations each year, Frogs Pond provides an unforgettable backdrop for weddings, elopements and engagements. Whether shared amongst family and friends or experienced as an intimate moment between two, each occasion unfolds within a landscape defined by beauty, privacy and quiet refinement.
From intimate ceremonies amongst the vines to elegant celebrations extending across an entire weekend, Frogs Pond offers a rare opportunity to experience a private vineyard estate as your own. Guests can gather within the courtyards, wander the gardens and enjoy uninterrupted views across the vineyard and bay beyond, while onsite accommodation allows the occasion to continue long after the formalities have ended.
Every celebration is approached with care and consideration, ensuring the natural beauty and character of the estate remain at the heart of the experience.

ELOPEMENTS
Some ceremonies are not intended for an audience. At Frogs Pond, elopements are shaped by privacy, stillness and a landscape that asks nothing but presence.
For those seeking a more private expression, the estate offers an environment defined by discretion.
Elopements are hosted within select areas of the property, where the scale becomes intimate and the surroundings more personal. Among the vines or along the shaded edges of the pond, each setting is chosen for its sense of calm and permanence
.
An antique table prepared for signing, restrained styling and thoughtful touches ensure everything is in place without excess. The experience is measured, refined and deeply personal. Nothing feels added. Nothing feels missing -
PROPOSALS
There is a certain significance in the moment before everything changes. Frogs Pond holds space for this quietly, without spectacle, within a setting that feels both removed and deeply present.
Frogs Pond accommodates a limited number of private engagements each year.
These moments are approached with subtlety and care. A proposal within the vineyard, or a secluded picnic arranged in advance, set against the landscape and its shifting light.
With access to private areas of the estate and its accommodation, the experience extends beyond the moment itself. It is not something performed, but something felt. Quietly considered, and long remembered. -
WEDDINGS
There are very few occasions held at Frogs Pond, and fewer still of this scale. Each wedding is granted the estate in its entirety, a setting of rare privacy where Tuscan landscape, architecture and atmosphere come together with quiet authority.
Frogs Pond is made available for a highly limited number of weddings each year. One, at most two.
With a capacity of up to 100 guests, the estate lends itself to gatherings that feel considered rather than expansive. In partnership with White Top Weddings, every detail is carefully resolved. Planning, styling, food and wine are approached as a complete experience, allowing the day to unfold with quiet confidence.
The setting is both refined and enduring. Stone walls, open courtyards, vineyard rows and olive groves create a sense of place that feels established rather than constructed. With luxe accommodation onsite, celebrations extend across days rather than hours. Guests arrive, settle and remain. The pace is unhurried. The experience, entirely held.
