About Rippon

Rippon is a family-owned, biodynamic vineyard on the western shore of Lake Wānaka, farmed by the Mills family for four generations. Its wedding venue centres on The Rippon Hall and a marquee, both looking over the vines, the lake, Ruby Island and the Southern Alps.

A natural amphitheatre next to the hall is the popular outdoor ceremony spot. The hall seats 75 to 85 guests for a reception and doubles as an indoor option if the weather turns, and catering teams adapt to wet-weather calls on the morning.

Packages run from a two-person elopement and a 12-guest Vines and Vows day up to larger celebrations of 230 guests. There is a disabled access toilet in the main entrance foyer.

Rippon has no accommodation on the property, but the team can recommend places to stay nearby. Rated 4.5 from 340 Google reviews, 267 of them five stars.
