Birthday Party Venues in Drysdale

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Drysdale birthdays can go four ways: the local pub, a large winery estate, a small family winery or a farm you dress and cater yourself. Start by deciding how much organising you want to take on, then let the guest list narrow it down.

Four Drysdale options for a birthday:

The Drysdale Hotel: a family-owned local with a bistro, a TV-lined bar and pool tables outdoors, and shared dining from $47 per person.
Scotchmans Hill: The Residence, a French provincial-style room with open fires, seats 95 for a banquet.
Bennetts on Bellarine: estate wines with wood-fired pizza, from $40 per person for groups of 25 or more.
Tuckerberry Hill Events: a family farm you take over, supplying your own food, drinks and music.
The Tuckerberry Hall arrives set with crossback chairs, big tables, rolling bars and a sound system.

Pub packages are shared over two or three courses, with dishes like a cold seafood platter, schnitzel or churros.
Scotchmans Hill cooks seasonal menus as long-table feasts, plated meals or cocktail food.
Bennetts on Bellarine sells its wine, beer, cider and soft drinks in two- or four-hour packages.
At Tuckerberry Hill you choose a caterer or food truck, or use the commercial kitchen yourself.
