BARWON PARK MANSION
Barwon Park Mansion is a grand 42-room bluestone residence in Winchelsea, just over an hour from Melbourne. Built in 1871, it is one of Victoria’s most significant rural heritage properties.

Perfectly Paired Hospitality Consultants is proud to be a long-standing partner collaborating with the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) to enhance the visitor experience across its remarkable collection of heritage venues. Our shared focus is on using hospitality as a platform to welcome new audiences, celebrate history and bring each venue’s story to life through
thoughtful food and memorable experiences.
For Barwon Park Mansion, we are leading the Catering Services Request for Tender (RFT) to identify a hospitality partner that can enhance visitation, activate events and celebrations and deliver a food and beverage experience that reflects the Mansion’s unique character.
