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.

    We hadn't been to The Whiskery for a while, but it was just as good or even better than ever. Olivia, our waitress looked after us and made our lunch feel very special by her personalised service. Our pizzas were as good as before. Thanks for a very relaxed afternoon.

    This is place to go with friends and family to have a fun time and feel completely relaxed. The staff were so warm and welcoming, the food is exactly what you want to graze on as you indulge in a gin cocktail, or two :) This is my new go to when I want to show off the Bellarine to visitors.

    Arrived mid afternoon on Australia Day, had a band playing in the garden which was lovely to listen too and still able to chat among the table. They, sadly, had runout of their wonderful Baked Brie so choose the cheese platter and for the $$ it fell abit short. Gin paddle is a must do, they all taste so very different.
