Celebrate day of love on the Bellarine

TODAY is the international day of love, and whether you are a lover or a hater of Valentine’s Day, Bellarine wineries, restaurants and cafes are calling on all romantics to come and dine with them.

Jack Rabbit Restaurant has date night written all over it.

Epic views, meat eaters to vegans, wine to order (because yes) and a side of love songs.

No good meal is complete without dessert and there’s nothing like a sweet treat as a finishing touch.

Check out this one-day-only dessert (pictured) – raspberry jube, spun sugar and blood orange sherbet, chocolate ganache mousse with ruby chocolate pistachio praline, and hibiscus and white chocolate almond cake served with Jack Rabbit Audacia sorbet. It’s sure to be met with a chorus of “oohs” and “ahhs” when it arrives at the table.

Or, treat your beloved to a special Valentine’s Day dinner at Basils Farm.

Watch the sun go down over Swan Bay as you sip on a glass of wine or a cocktail, and dine on a three-course meal created by their chefs.

This Valentine’s Day enjoy a unique and memorable night with the one you love at Marty @ Oakdene.

Spoil that special someone with the chef’s signature “shared” dining experience.

Over a progression of three shared courses, diners can sample and enjoy some menu favourites plus a few special Valentine’s Day offerings.

Queenscliff Brewhouse have the perfect lovers’ dinner all sorted starting with two complimentary glasses of bubbles, followed by their seafood platter and to finish a dessert platter for two.

Not a lover of seafood, their full a la carte menu is available on the night.

The Q Train has taken care of Valentine’s Day for you, and created a unique and romantic evening for you and your partner.

Arriving at Drysdale Station for lunch or dinner, you and your loved one will be greeted by friendly staff and have your photo taken on the red carpet.

As an exclusive treat for Valentine’s Day, you will receive a copy of the photo as a souvenir of your evening on board The Q Train.

You’ll be treated to a delicious six-course degustation featuring local produce, while enjoying the changing views of Swan Bay and the Bellarine.

It’s been scientifically proven that France and romance go together like champagne and oysters and cafés and croissants; so, if you’re looking to outdo yourself this Valentine’s Day look no further than this French dinner and music event at Bouchon at Bellarine Estate Winery. They are planning a romantic Valentine’s dinner to remember with an evening of French music by musician Monsieur Jean Francois. Say no more, mon amour.

And finally, there really is no better place on the Peninsula to celebrate Valentine’s Day than right on the gorgeous Queenscliff Harbour at 360Q.

Show the one you love just how much you love them by treating them to this special Valentine’s Day experience.
