Let her know she doesn’t need to worry about anything.
It’s the little things that add up to make it a great day. Carry her wine and belongings for her, play her favourite songs, don’t let her buy a drink at all. Let the wineries know that it is her special day so they can make a big deal out of her.

With many different circles of friends and family attending, it’s great to get them mingling early; and a wine tour is perfect for this. For example, go out of your way to introduce the groom’s family to the bride’s friends, play some ice-breaker games (some ideas later in the article), and take every opportunity to talk to people you don’t know.

While a little bit of information on the wines is always welcome, you don’t want to be lectured on every single vintage and wine-making technique. The best stops are in pretty locations that are relaxed and fun, with plenty of chances to mingle and socialise.
​
Laughs are the key to a good day, so some fun wineries always go down well. 

Make a playlist of great songs that will bring back memories and get the party started. Having a rocking bus on the way home is one of the most fun parts of the day!

All wine regions are 1 hour plus from Melbourne CBD, so there is time to play a game or two on the way down.

From experience, 1 or 2 games is generally enough as the wine tour is an event in itself; plus people get a bit annoyed if you keep interrupting their wine and conversation.
​
Some of our favourite bus games include (you can Google them for full rules and explanation):

MEMORY LANE
Everyone writes down a memory they have with the bride-to-be. One of the bridesmaids then reads out each memory and the bride must guess who wrote them.

DID YOU KNOW?
Get the groom to pre-answer a series of questions. The bride-to-be must answer the same questions to see how they match. Example, ‘Where was your first kiss?’

PASS THE PARCEL
Not just for kids anymore! Played on the bus, add naughty or useful gifts under each layer; music is played and when the music stops, a layer is unwrapped and a prize revealed.

PEG GAME
Great fun, and very social. Versions include ‘forbidden words’ or ‘stripper names’. This can be set-up on the bus on the way down, but lasts the whole day. It’s a good way to get people laughing and socialising.

REASON #1
Instead of being one group in a crowded restaurant, you and your friends are the most important guests on our list. A private chef is there to serve you and you will have their undivided attention from start to finish.  ​

REASON #2
Everything happens in the comfort of your own venue; meaning you have maximum privacy. Therefore, unlike restaurant venues, you don’t have to worry what the next table is going to think about your crazy laugh, your friends’ jokes or your fun games!

REASON #3
You want the hen to have a special night as the day of her wedding approaches. Help her feel as special as she is by giving her a memorable night she will always remember!

REASON #4
A Personal Chef comes to you; which means there’s no need for a cab, no corking fees and no babysitter... that’s a no brainer.

REASON #5
How does amazing restaurant quality food made with the freshest, local ingredients sound? Every food item is hand-picked by your private Chef, lovingly prepared for your party and plated for your table to impress!

REASON #6
All menus are customised to your preferences and dietary requirements. Your personal, gourmet Chef will make sure that everyone in the group has a delicious meal, no matter what their dietary needs are. Preparing a delicious meal is half the fun!

REASON #7
No travel time, no waiting for a table, and when dinner is done you can go right back to enjoying the company of your guests and getting started with your next activity!

REASON #8
Whether a sit down meal suits the event, a mouth-watering degustation or a more casual canapé style menu will suit best with the other activities planner; your Personal Chef will have all bases covered (including optional wait staff and event styling).

REASON #9
These experiences can be interactive; enjoy getting a glimpse of your Chef at home in action as the food is being prepared and plated right in your kitchen.

REASON #10
Last, but not least, you don’t have to do any cleaning up! This may be the best reason. Your Personal Chef keeps the kitchen tidy as the courses go out; and in the end when all of the dishes are done, the kitchen is left cleaner than when your Chef arrived.

It’s like going to a restaurant but in the comfort of your own home; leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the night’s activities!
​
For your Hen’s Night with a difference, hiring your own Personal Chef sounds like just the thing!

WINE. GLORIOUS WINE.
A wine tasting covers activities and drinks all in one. What a clever hen friend you would be organising such an event.
​
It shouldn’t be pretentious and stuffy (that wouldn’t be very hensy now, would it?); and it should match the tastes of your hen and her friends. It could be:

• Champagne and sparkling wine tasting
• A tour of Rosé from home and away
• A sweet and stylish tasting for the bride that is sweet as

A WINE TASTING WITH A DIFFERENCE
For a bridal shower with a difference, a cellar party where guests’ bring a bottle to kick start the newly married couple’s collection could be a winner. Combine this with a wine tasting and you could have the perfect event!

A good wine presenter is also desirable; and they should be able to match the tasting to meet your hen’s wine preferences, whilst being entertaining for all of her guests.
