Christmas Party Venues on the Bellarine Peninsula

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year functions across the Bellarine split neatly by town. Drysdale and Curlewis offer winery estates with function rooms and lawns, Queenscliff has three options from a pub garden to restaurants on the water, and Barwon Heads and Wallington each add one more.

How Bellarine towns compare for an end-of-year function:

Queenscliff for big headcounts: a cocktail event at TARRA Queenscliff can run from 30 up to 300, and 360Q fits 250 on its upper level.
Drysdale for a winery day: Scotchmans Hill can set up a projector and sound for a business session, and Bennetts on Bellarine runs packages from $40 per person for 25 or more.
Curlewis for a vineyard estate: Leura Park Estate serves grazing or à la carte menus for Christmas functions and pours its own sparkling.
Barwon Heads for a mid-sized team: At The Heads takes Christmas work groups of 20 to 80, seated or stand-up with roving food.
Wallington for a big crowd on a lawn: Flying Brick Cider Co holds 400 standing and runs a two-course group menu from $54 per person.

In Queenscliff, the casual pub choice is the Beer Garden behind The Esplanade Hotel, with drinks packages from $48 per person for two hours.
