The Whiskery is the cellar door for Bellarine Distillery.
It is the original farm shed that has been fully renovated, which basically means the whole thing was pulled apart and put back together! The end result 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.
Our own Gins are on offer for consumption and sale, with limited amount of our 2nd Whisky Release “Sister Sunday” available for tastings purchase. 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.
The Whiskery is an 18+years only venue which operates primarily as cellar door and we specialise in offering the small group experience ( max 10 per group) promoting the sale of our products as well as providing cocktails and other drinks for the adult consumer.
Being a cellar door our food options are limited, they include a couple of simple pizzas and cheese & produce platters . There is a variety of seating consisting of tables , couches and chairs on the lawn. If you have a preferred seating option pls make contact with us , otherwise your booking will be allocated according to availability.
Bookings can be made for 2 hr time limits and can be made via the bookings tab on this website
Simple home style food to go with a gin or whisky.
