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.

    Staff were exceptionally good. Very knowledgable and friendly. You very rarely get service like this which is testament to the management.

    We arrived when the whiskery opened with a large group and were greeted with the amazing staff. The location and outdoor setting is beautiful. The gin is delicious and staff very knowledgeable about their products. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tasting experience or just a casual drink

    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.
