Bellarine Estate

Bellarine Estate vineyard and winery is a family-owned and operated affair established in 1996 by the Kenny family. There are thirty acres of vines including Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc. These highly acclaimed wines are complex and elegant reflections of the cool maritime climate. The cellar door has views overlooking the vineyard and Corio Bay and offers tastings and sales of their single-vineyard Bellarine Estate range as well as the Portarlington Ridge label. Thirty Acres Distillery captures the essence of Bellarine Estate's vineyard by distilling the grapes to create Thirty Acres Gin - a world-class gin that is truly produced from field to flask. Adding to their spirits is a Shiraz and a Pino Gin as well as Vermouth and coming soon a Spiced Rum. Bellarine Estate now features a newly refurbished dining space, relax in the ambience of the family-run restaurant, and select from a charcuterie platter of house-made meats, local cheeses, olives, and bread or sample the house specialty of a Texas Barbeque board to share. Check and book for one of their delicious Thursday or Friday lunch specials including a glass of Portarlington Ridge wine, a cider or beer. Soft drinks are available.
