Bellarine Estate 

Peter and Lizette Kenny established Bellarine Estate in 1996, and have created a reputation their premium quality wines, mouth-watering cuisine and an outstanding weddings venue. The 100-acre property occupies the northern slopes of the hills between Drysdale and Portarlington overlooking Corio Bay.

Bellarine Estate’s cellar door facilities include a tasting room and a Fine Dining restaurant where you can enjoy our premium wine and gourmet food at your leisure, looking out at spectacular views of the vineyard and Corio Bay. We can also recommend our facilities as an ideal function and wedding venue.

Bellarine Estate is planted to Savignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and Merlot. Since the first Vintage in 1999 all our wines have won high acclaim in Australia and overseas. Most recently Bellarine Estate Shiraz 2000 took the silver medal at the San Francisco International Wine Show.

In addition, during the meal, wines are available by the glass as well as by the bottle so that diners can savour a wine of their choice with each dish.
