About Glen Ewin Estate

Exchange vows lakeside or host celebrations against a rustic stone backdrop at Glen Ewin Estate in Lower Hermitage. Couples rely on dedicated coordinators to handle everything from emergency dress bustles to sudden weather shifts without missing a beat. Reception spaces span the open lawns and wisteria around The Pulpshed to the warm setting of The Gatehouse. Beyond weddings, visitors wander the commercial fig orchard in season to fill boxes before cooling off with a house-made fig gin spritzer at the cellar door.

  • Dual Heritage Spaces: The Pulpshed lakefront setting and The Gatehouse offer distinct historic backdrops for ceremonies and receptions.
  • Hands-on Coordination: Dedicated planners oversee timelines and smoothly adapt arrangements when unexpected rain or weather strikes.
  • Orchard & Fig Spirits: Pick seasonal fruit across the orchard, followed by tastings of house-distilled fig gin and spritzers.

  • Orchard Harvest Experiences

    Guests explore expansive commercial fig orchards with family, gathering fresh fruit while viewing native wildlife across scenic estate grounds.

    We had fun picking some fig fruits and saw some wild group of kangaroos while walking through the orchards!

  • Estate Fig Gin Pairings

    Visitors indulge in estate-crafted fig spirits paired creatively across restaurant and dessert menus, such as specialty fig gin affogatos.

    The fig gin with affogato was my favourite - the gin was smooth and there was a little bit of sweetness to it that balanced out the bitterness of espresso and the sweetness of the ice cream.

Before you head over

Helpful planning advice for wedding celebrations, orchard harvesting, and estate visits

  • Plan Contingencies for Unpredictable Weather

    When organizing an outdoor lakefront ceremony at The Pulpshed or lawns, partner closely with the on-site coordinators to prepare seamless bad-weather transitions for unpredicted rain or hail.

  • Arrive Early for Fig Picking and Orchard Visits

    Arrive early when the orchards open at 8am to enjoy cooler fruit picking, spot local wildlife like kangaroos, and allocate 2 to 3 hours including weighing your harvest box.

  • Factor in Adelaide Hills Travel and On-Site Parking

    Allow extra travel time to navigate the 25 km trip from Adelaide into the Adelaide Hills, and take advantage of the ample on-site parking before tastings or scheduled celebrations.
