Do I need to book multiple tables or can I just attend one?

The choice is yours but all events are unique so you can and may wish to attend more than one event.

What makes each table unique?

Each venue partner has created their own special event for the day and they have also curated their own experience. All events will have tables of different sizes (a ‘long table’ may be 6 or it may be 50!). Menus and inclusions cater for all palates and all budgets, some are fine-dining and some are more rustic. Some have live music and special entertainment, others are centred around conversation. There is something for everyone so make sure you check out each option to find your perfect experience or experiences, we would love to welcome you to more than one event.

How do I make a reservation for Weekend Table?

Simply purchase a ticket for the Weekend Table event you'd like to attend! Be sure to select the correct venue and date, as there are eight dates on offer.

Can I book multiple meal times at different venues?

Yes! Each Weekend Table event has a set date and time, and these can be combined to create an itinerary of experiences on any one day or over the four day timeframe. Please ensure that you allow driving or travel time between all events as some are based out of town and in a number of directions. Make sure you plan ahead of purchasing your tickets.

Can I request to be seated with friends or will I be placed with strangers?

Ideally you and your friends will book together to ensure you are seated together as a part of your group but most likely there will be others at the table, or in some cases it is an ‘extra-long table’.

Can dietary requirements and allergies be accommodated?

Will I definitely be seated with people I don't know?

Sometimes and sometimes not, it depends on the venue and layout. We ask you to please arrive expecting that you will be seated with other people outside of your group as Weekend Table events are centred around ‘long tables’ to meet and share your experience with others.

What should I wear to these dining experiences?

Dress is smart casual to all events. Some events are outdoors – so please dress accordingly. Warm clothing and/or hats are suggested for outdoor and/or evening events and you may wish to consider wearing closed in and comfortable shoes for some events, if based in a paddock or vineyard.
