Wineries & Casual Dining Venues

Guests pay the entry.
You pour the wine.

Zero upfront cost. Every dollar of food and wine stays with you.

Guests buy a $55 ticket to stargaze. You sell tickets through your own channels, run your dining and bar exactly as you normally would, and earn a negotiated share of ticket revenue on top of all F&B. We bring the telescope, the presenter and the wonder.

How It Works

A night that pays for
itself — then some

Guests buy a stargazing ticket. You run your dining and bar exactly as normal. We attend the event and handle everything telescope-related — your team doesn't lift a finger.

01

Zero cost, zero risk to your venue

No venue fee, no equipment cost, no presenter fee to pay upfront. If the event doesn't reach 20 guests minimum, it doesn't run — and you owe nothing.

02

You control the tickets and the guest relationship

Sell tickets through your own website, email list, phone or cellar door. Bundle with dining packages or wine club offers as you see fit — your guests, your relationship.

03

A dateable, marketable event every time

The Southern Sky Guide 2026–27 lets you choose dates that align with headline celestial events — Saturn at opposition, the Geminid meteor shower, Mars at its closest. Events your guests will book in advance.

04

Zero burden on your team

Allan manages the entire telescope experience independently. Your staff focus entirely on food, wine and hospitality — the event runs alongside your normal operation, not instead of it.

Wineries with Casual Dining

The model that already works

A proven format — guests buy a stargazing ticket, order from your menu, drink your wine. No fixed fee, no risk. Your venue earns on every glass poured.

Cellar Doors & Tasting Rooms

A compelling reason to stay longer

Barossa, Hunter Valley, Margaret River, McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley — a Stargazing Night gives guests a reason to book a full evening rather than drop in for a tasting.

Boutique Hotels & Resorts

Premium add-on, zero outlay

Offer stargazing as a ticketed evening experience for guests and the public alike. No capital investment, no commitment — book it when your calendar suits.
