From Curlewis to St Leonards, the north side of The Bellarine combines the refreshing sea air you’d expect from a bayside holiday with fresh produce from makers and growers who have lovingly planted, picked and perfected the best things to eat and drink in these parts.
At down to earth, family run cellar doors in Drysdale and surrounds you’re likely to stumble upon the owner or winemaker (sometimes the same person) who can provide the best insights and commentary to their wine.
With uninterrupted bay views across to the You Yangs and, on a clear day, Melbourne, Portarlington is a beautiful bayside town with loads of local flavour. And just offshore the delicious Australian Blue Mussels are plucked fresh from the cool waters of Port Phillip.
The connection with the land and water here is peaceful, offering ways to unwind in, on or near Port Phillip as well as plenty of land-based activities to keep days full. Walk, ride, swim, paddle, pick berries, shop, eat, drink, listen, watch, explore – the agenda is as full as you make it.
