The only estate with Great Ocean Road views, Bellbrae Estate allows you to sip and soak in the stunning Surf Coast.
Planting their first vines back in 1999, on the world famous Great Ocean Road, and then establishing a business – these are real life goals. 25 years later and the brains behind Bellbrae Estate clearly know what they’re doing.
Focusing on premium cool climate wines with really strong varietal characters and an excellent flavour intensity, wine is what they do best!

Bellbrae Estate isn’t just a vineyard, you can head on down to the Estate for a sit down wine tasting, as their very friendly and knowledgeable staff walk and talk their way through the 12 core range wines on offer, and maybe even some of the estates exclusive museum range.
If wine and tasting and the Great Ocean Road wasn’t already doing it for you, then maybe the idea of a brand new charcuterie board will – showcasing some of the best local produce around. They also have some award winning wood-fired pizzas made from Pete’s Woodfired Pizzas on the weekends, with some perfect hot food pairing bites to accompany the wines – like their marble score 6 wagyu eye filets bites and wood charred halloumi – I really don’t think life gets better than this.
They make all of our wine on site with 7.5 hectares of vines and a 250 acres block. Where they can, they source their ingredients as locally as they can. They have produce from the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie, DK’s potato farm, Bellarine Brownies, Blackman’s Brewery, The Otway Kitchen and so much more. Bellbrae Estate also has soy candles used from our old Bellbrae Estate bottles thanks to a local winemaker, Michelle, from Misuki Candles. Throughout the cell door you will see amazing paintings and artwork from local artist Andrew (Drew) Middlehurst, which are also for sale here at Bellbrae Estate.
Head on down to Bellbrae Estate for a casual and relaxing dining experience, with a real focus on quality produce and wine – and it won’t break the bank.
If you go on a Sunday, you can look forward to some local acts, with life music going every weekend, from 1- 4pm.
So sit down, relax with a glass of wine in one hand and cheese in the other, and listen to some relaxing tunes, because that’s really what life is all about… right…?
