Bellarine Estate is a great 'twofer' stop when on a wine tasting adventure through the beautiful Bellarine region.
One - there's wine, of course. A decent selection of reds and whites, all solid in taste, and all pretty decently priced so the obligatory post-tasting buy wont break the budget - there's even a buy three get one free deal if you really get besotted by their vino.
The cellar door is trying something new, and now has taken on selling fresh vegetables and freshly baked breads. There's also cheeses and other delicious delights to-go, making this a great stop for picking up things for a platter to enjoy at home with the bottle/s you left with.
Then there's the second thing - beer. Next door in the restaurant/bar you can buy a tasting paddle for $15 and sample four of their beers - including an oyster beer if you dare. Their ginger and chocolate beers are the picks for mine.
They also do decent desserts there, making this a 'threefer' for those sweet-tooths among us. read more
