Christmas in the Grove 2026

2026 DATES: Friday 4th December; Saturday 5th December; Friday 11th December; Saturday 12th December;
It’s that time of year where we gather with our friends, family and colleagues and celebrate the end of year festivities at Bunnyconnellen. Held across 4 nights in December, Bunnyconnellen will again host our annual Christmas In The Grove in 2026 – this time for it’s 8th year. A tradition that started from a small gathering sharing our family’s Christmas dishes in 2019, this year we are returning to our roots and will serving a 3 course dining experience in the olive grove hosted by the Bunnyconnellen family.

The event begins with a festive cocktail on arrival, followed by canapés on the lawns among the Fig Tree garden. Wander the grounds of Bunnyconnellen with a drink in hand, listening to local artists as the sun sets in our beautiful region. You will then be seated by your hosts in a social long table setting under the stars, where you will then enjoy a continual roving Christmas feast curated by our family of chefs, from a menu with a strong emphasis on heritage and local ingredients, complementing the Bunnyconnellen paddock-to-plate story.

Tickets include entry, a drink on arrival and a 3 course dinner.
