The Bellarine Peninsula
The Bellarine Peninsula punches well above its weight, producing a raft of award-winning wines that are regularly listed in James Halliday’s ‘best of the best’ list.
The Bellarine is the heart of the Geelong wine region. It has a range of wineries and they vary based on their distance from the water, but generally, the maritime environment is favourable for producing cooler climate wines of consistent quality (you’ll also find some pretty great views to Port Phillip and Corio Bay).
It shares the same black basalt over limestone soils as the Moorabool Valley, but it’s home to more moderate conditions.
Here, you’ll find New World pinot noir, chardonnay, shiraz and sauvignon blanc with a hint of Old World charm. The quirkier wines you might find are albarino, zinfandel and picolit.
