A Texan BBQ at a winery? Of course!
We love a delicious feast from the smoker, and when it’s paired with a Bellarine wine then that is even better!
The Bellarine Estate in Portarlington is where the wine labels Bellarine Estate and Portarlington Ridge are created as well as their gin – Thirty Acres Distillery. It sits amongst the vines and just near Corio Bay.

The bistro is serving up some delicious Texan BBQ from Thursday to Sunday with a great menu - we had the Texas BBQ board for two and the kiddos chose from the kids menu, with some sides - there are PLENTY of options all round!

You can choose to sit inside, or outside under the peppercorn tree out front, or round the back - there is a large chess board and plenty of room for the kids to run around!

Mamma says the wines here are delicious (Pinot Noir is a fave) - so if you are inclined, pop into the cellar door too!
