BBQ and Blues

Overview

Punters heading down the Bellarine Peninsula for a wintery weekender now have another cosy stop to add to their itinerary. Award-winning winery Bellarine Estate is kicking off a new regular series of Saturday sessions that'll team barbecue eats and blues tunes with their beloved signature vino.

Launching on May 20, with further dates locked in for June 10 and 24, July 15, August 5, September 9 and October 14, is BBQ & Blues.

Each session invites you to get acquainted with this family-run winery's standout cool-climate wines, while soaking up the sounds of a different local artist. The launch event will feature tunes from Alister Turrill, while Phil Para Duo takes the mic on June 10 and Don Fisher pops in to host musical trivia on June 24.

The estate's new Texan barbecue eatery will also be showing off the goods, serving up its signature menu of smoked meats and classic American sides — a hearty nod to co-owner Lizette Kenny's Texan roots.
