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 had a great time at the Whiskery but were disappointed that they had run out of all the pates and the duck roulette. We had a lovely spot in the corner as we had to take the dog at the last minute and they went out of the way to make sure she was happy outside. And excellent pizza!!

First time visitors to The Whiskery. Our table for 2 became 3 when our friend joined us...no problem for staff. Seated outside in beautiful weather. First drinks came in good time. Pizzas were awesome. Whiskey paddle delicious. Why haven't we visited sooner, our new favorite place on the Bellarine.

We had a fabulous lunch for my friends 91st birthday. The service was first class and they even game the birthday girl a free cocktail. Such a stunning location under the huge Paulownia tree.

Had a great gone tasting and lunch experience at The Whiskery. The team were super friendly, knowledgeable and very willing to share stories which was great. The gin was delicious and a cheese board and a couple of pizzas washed down with some rose was divine. Also sensational value for money.
