basil's farm winery, swan bay (bellarine peninsula)
/6 years ago Mamma stumbled across this heavenly gem and it has been a favourite ever since - I mean, how can it not. Upon entering the property you walk through the entry gardens only to discover the amazing water views. The white tables and umbrellas make it feel like you're in the south of France but nope - you are in Swan Bay. Between the restaurant and the water is a lovely garden with veggie patch (with produce that ends up on your plate) and some grape vines that you can wander through at your leisure.
The restaurant serves amazing food, and of course wines and cocktails. Mamma loves the rosè…. Oh and for the kids, a great kids menu....and aside from a frolick in the grassy hill and gardens there is also a sandpit AND you can grab some feed to hand feed the resident Llama whilst you kick back and enjoy! INCREDIBLE.
Mamma's special mention: Another amazing Bellarine winery with water views to try is Jack Rabbit!
