How to Plan Your Proposal and that Big Moment

You want to make the moment perfect for the person you love, but that’s a lot of pressure! Your special someone will be happy no matter how you propose, but you definitely want your engagement to be a romantic and unforgettable experience that writes an epic page in your love story.
The trick to creating the perfect moment for your marriage proposal is to combine an amazing experience with the best proposal spot in Melbourne that is planned well in advance.
The more you plan ahead, the more at-ease you’ll feel in the moment (and you don’t want anything else adding to the emotions you will feel when you get down on one knee to ask your partner to marry you).

After landing, winery staff will whisk you away to a private table that has been set up just for you two, overlooking the vineyard and with two glasses of champagne — the perfect setting for you to get on one knee and pop the big question.
