So to help you plan your perfect event, we’ve compiled answers to the underground dining questions we’re asked most often. This way, you can book with total confidence, knowing exactly what to expect.
Yes, we offer a courtesy bus service within Great Western at no cost. We can arrange transport to Stawell, Halls Gap, Ararat, or Horsham for a small fee. Simply mention your transport needs when booking, and our Events Team will reach out to coordinate the details.
Absolutely. Whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or have any other dietary preferences, we’ve got you covered. Simply note your requirements when booking, and we’ll follow up to ensure your menu is perfectly tailored.
Private dining requires a minimum of 12 guests. While there isn’t a set maximum, the largest event we’ve hosted underground welcomed around 150 guests. If you’re planning a particularly large gathering, please get in touch, and we’ll do everything we can to make your event happen.
Our menu changes seasonally to showcase the best local produce, but here’s a sample menu from one of our more recent events . Private bookings allow you to customise your dining experience with an expanded chef’s selection, each course thoughtfully paired with wine.

For camping enthusiasts, the Great Western Recreation Reserve offers both free and budget-friendly options, just a short walk from Seppelt Great Western. Powered sites are available for just $10 a night, making it an excellent choice for affordable accommodation in the heart of the Grampians food and wine village.
Yes, you can. While our ticketed events are adults-only, if you’re planning a private dining experience and prefer to keep everyone involved, children are welcome to join in. No need to find a babysitter!
No worries! We offer a range of options beyond wine, including beer, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages. We’ll ensure that everyone in your group will be well taken care of.
Yes, we aim to make our underground dining experience as accessible as possible. There are accessible entry options, although as our drives were dug in the 1860s, it can be a bit of an adventure and we may take an alternate route to the main tour group. Please let us know your specific mobility needs when booking, and our team will work to ensure a comfortable experience for all.
Due to the unique setting of the underground cellars, pets are not permitted, with the exception of certified service animals. If you’re bringing a service animal, please let us know ahead of time so we can make any necessary arrangements to ensure your experience is seamless.
