A private space exclusively for events & weddings
RYE AT TALLIS
Special Celebrations. Weddings. Corporate Functions. Private Events.
In 2023 Richard and Alice closed the cellar door and leased their building to Dookie locals Hannah and Luke Harmer.
Now independently operated and a separate business to Tallis Wine, the former cellar door building has been reimagined into a private event space, Rye at Tallis.
In May 2025, Rye at Tallis transitioned to focus exclusively on private events and weddings.
The space is no longer open on regular days for the general public, but is available for hire day or evening, Monday to Sunday, for bespoke event packages crafted by their events specialists for corporate events, weddings and special celebrations.
Rye at Tallis host monthly Twilight sessions, ticketed events and they open for select occasions and long weekends; so there will be opportunities to enjoy Tallis Wine, in the place where it was born.
Visit the Rye at Tallis website or follow their socials to stay in the loop.

In 2011 Richard and Alice realised they needed a cellar door. Opened in early 2012 the building was designed in collaboration with Richard’s brother, architect John Tallis.
The philosophy behind the building was to minimise the impact on the environment, maintain a connection with the landscape and provide a relaxed space to enjoy wine.
The building features an energy-efficient layout constructed from recycled materials and straw bales grown on the property and to many it looks like just another farm shed on top of a hill.
In 2023 Richard and Alice closed the cellar door and leased the building to Dookie locals Hannah and Luke Harmer. It is now home to ‘Rye at Tallis’ and has been reimagined into a private event space, a separate business to Tallis wine and independently operated.
A building designed with heart
