FUNCTIONS AT FIVE OAKS



Five Oaks is an idyllic setting to enjoy a private event, wedding, personal wine tasting or corporate function. We have the ability to tailor an experience to represent the needs of the client or organization.

Events can range from a simple do-it-yourself BBQ, Wally's pancakes, or tutored wine tastings in the winery to something more formal involving a marquee.


PICNIC



Why not consider packing a hamper of goodies or order a picnic hamper and have a good old-fashioned picnic with friends under our oak trees or covered veranda!!

PICNIC HAMPERS NOW AVAILABLE AT FIVE OAKS
