The Whiskery is the cellar door for Bellarine Distillery. The Whiskery is an 18 years plus only venue .Babies under 12 months are an exception. The original farm shed has been renovated and is a rustic and inviting space to have a yarn over a cocktail, gin or whisky with friends.
During warmer days the gardens and decks provide a relaxing environment and during the colder months a spot beside the fire is most enticing.
Primarily our own Gins are on offer for consumption and sale, with the Whisky being available in due course - STAY TUNED. We also have a wider selection of whiskies also available for tasting. For those who wish to have an alternative to Gin or Whisky ( why? ) we do have a few of the local wines , beers and ciders available plus some soft options for the drivers.
We have a limited food menu which includes a couple of simple pizzas and cheese & produce platters .
Please note bookings are for 2 hr blocks.

    Gorgeous venue, the staff knew the products well, and everything tasted delicious. Couldn't resist picking up a few things from the shop while I was there to take home with me.

    We had a great afternoon tasting gin and whiskey and also enjoyed the cocktails. We dined on lobster rolls, calamari & the pumpkin, kale & pinenut pizza - all were so delicious. Merryn our waitress was very friendly, attentive and informative, we all enjoyed the whole experience! We will be back 😁
