BEHIND THE IVORY

Generations of experience, brought together

CHALK HILL WINES

Six generations shaped by the land

The Chalk Hill story reaches back to 1839, when John Harvey first arrived in South Australia. Six generations later, the family’s connection to the land continues through its vineyards, wines and enduring presence in McLaren Vale.

At The Ivory, this heritage becomes part of the wedding experience—from the landscape surrounding the celebration to the wines shared around the table.

More than 185 years of family history, continued through a new chapter at The Ivory.

BLANCO HORNER HOSPITALITY

More than 40 years around the table

For more than four decades, Blanco Horner has created restaurants, events and weddings shaped by exceptional food, thoughtful service and warm hospitality. That experience brings a restaurant sensibility to every wedding at The Ivory. Rather than approaching the menu and service as conventional event catering, our team creates a bespoke restaurant for the occasion - considering the food, wine, pacing and hospitality as one complete experience, shaped entirely around the couple.

From the first conversation through to the final service, experienced chefs, event managers and hospitality professionals work together to bring every detail to life.

TOGETHER AT THE IVORY

A restaurant created for your occasion

The Ivory brings together a remarkable setting, generations of winemaking and decades of hospitality experience to create a wedding that feels entirely personal.

From the ceremony and reception to the wine, menu and way the day unfolds, every element is considered together giving couples the freedom to create a celebration with the warmth, detail and individuality of a restaurant designed entirely around them.
