Eyeing New Year’s Eve

Welcome 2018 at Terindah

Chime in the New Year at one of the Bellarine’s most beautiful vineyards, Terindah Estate, taking in the spectacular views across Port Phillip, while sipping on the estate’s award-winning wines. Guests are invited to arrive from 8pm, greeted with a glass of sparkling before settling in on the open lawns to listen to a live DJ. Canapés will be flowing throughout the evening, and will include freshly shucked oysters as well as a selection of seasonally inspired hot and cold dishes. All of the estate’s wines will be available for purchase. At midnight, a live fireworks display will span across the bay and provide the perfect backdrop to celebrate the arrival of 2018. Tickets are $100, to book phone 5251 5536 or email [email protected]. Terindah is located at 90 McAdams Lane, Bellarine.
