TO QUEENSCLIFF & POINT LONSDALE

The Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale area is the ideal destination for your next business event.

Queenscliff and its twin coastal village Point Lonsdale are nestled at the tip of the Bellarine Peninsula, only a 90-minute drive from Melbourne or 40-minute ferry ride from Sorrento.

Point Lonsdale is de-stress central – teeming with laidback charm, coastal walks, rock pools, specialty shops, much-loved beaches and water-side dining.

A variety of flexible conference and meeting spaces in Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale provide a setting with a difference that is guaranteed to inspire great work.

Accommodation ranges from well-appointed heritage hotels and boutique B&Bs, to self-contained guesthouses and seaside cabins, mostly walkable from conference venues, beaches and shopping and dining precincts.

Amazing Bellarine produce and fresh seafood dominate local menus. Enjoy an espresso at a local café, an apéritif at a wine bar, fish and chips on the foreshore or dance the night away on The Blues Train. Watch seals and dolphins at play, stroll along the beach, brew your own beer or book a round of golf at one of the exceptional sand belt golf courses.

• Get back on track: Indulge your team with a unique heritage rail trip. The Blues Train is a fun night out with a mix of live music, dining and dancing.

Meanwhile the Q Train offers a gastronomical journey like no other showcasing local food, wine, beer and cider.

• Safe harbour: Tuck into just-caught seafood at alfresco tables overlooking Queenscliff’s ultra-modern marina or Point Lonsdale’s seafront promenade.

• Bird’s eye view: Scale the staircase or ride the lift to the top of the 42-metre high, 360-degree observation tower at Queenscliff.

PROV E N A N CE W I N ES DESCRIPTION

We are conveniently positioned on the outskirts of Geelong: just 2 kilometres from the Geelong Ring Road (Princes Freeway) and 12 minutes from Geelong’s CBD and waterfront.

An extensive renovation to the heritage-listed 1870s bluestone building has resulted in a modern venue full of historic integrity and charm. The building boasts views of Buckley Falls and a functioning winery where award-winning Provenance wine is made.

We are thrilled to announce our kitchen is now operational. Head Chef Will Manning is creating dishes of the highest quality, dishes that celebrate Geelong and the Surf Coast’s local produce.

Will’s use of these fine ingredients resulting in flavoursome, wholesome dishes is a perfect match to our valued wines.

Antipasto platters and flatbreads provide a more social style of dining, whilst a full à la carte menu is available. Provenance Wines now has the full wine and dine experience. Guests are encouraged to join us at the bar for a tutored wine tasting before sitting at their tables among the barrels.

The Whiskery is the cellar door for Bellarine Distillery.

It was the original farm shed that has been fully renovated, the end result being 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.

The Whiskery is the home to the multiple award-winning “Teddy & the Fox – Bellarine Gin” and our latest release “Rosey & the Rabbits – aged Gin”.

Primarily our own gins are on offer for consumption and sale with our own whisky being available in due course – approximately 2021.

We have a wide selection of other whiskies available for tasting and also showcase local wines, beers and ciders.

We offer cheese and fresh produce platters using as much locally sourced produce as possible and a selection of simple pizzas.

The cellar door can be accessed off Scotchmans Road (corner of Portarlington Road and Scotchmans Road) with plenty of car parking on the property and space to throw down a picnic rug and take in the surrounds.
