About Quiddity Place

Quiddity Place is a winery, restaurant and art property at 27 Banks Road, Mannerim, on the Bellarine Peninsula. It brings together the second Oakdene Wines cellar door, the Hidden Frog Restaurant, two art galleries (Tin Liz and Little Tin) and Lighthouse olive oil. The grounds are planted with gardens, vines and olive trees, and a giant frog sculpture greets diners at the restaurant. Hidden Frog's dining room has wide windows over the vineyard, and a covered deck looks out across the lawn. For birthdays, family celebrations and work lunches, the restaurant takes larger groups and can set a menu so the day runs simply. Seasonal modern Australian food with some European touches is paired with Oakdene wines from the estate. For something more exclusive, private functions can include sole use of the property's spaces. These carry a minimum spend that depends on the occasion and what is needed, and the team works through the options with each host. The restaurant's five-course chef's menu, served to the whole table, is $110 per person. Guests can also visit the galleries, which hold a private collection of Indigenous art and rotating work by local artists. The property opens Wednesday to Sunday from 11am, with dinner on Friday and Saturday nights. As a working vineyard and farm it doesn't allow pets, though registered service dogs are welcome.

5 star hospitality in a beautiful location. We enjoyed a fantastic birthday lunch and recommend Quiddity Place to everyone. A note to drivers - road signage is yet to come but definitely worth the drive.
