Basils delivers summer goods

Basils Farm has built a reputation as one of the best venues on the Bellarine to kick back, relax and enjoy a meal and glass of wine while taking in stunning Swan Bay views.

The family friendly venue has plenty of space for the kids to run around, play in the sandpit or visit the resident llamas and has once more embraced live music and extended hours this summer.

Basils Sunday music sessions have garnered a strong following, featuring talented local musicians, and is the perfect way to wind down the weekend in conjunction with their new pop up bar.

“We are extending our hours over summer to take advantage of the warmer days. In January Basils will be open seven days a week, with the addition of Saturday music sessions,” general manager Kim Dema said.

“Guests can book a table or lay out a picnic blanket and relax to the sounds of live acoustic music.”

Every Saturday from 3.30-6.30pm and Sunday from 12.30-3.30pm, musicians will perform on the verandah with local favourites and for the first time, blues legend Wayne Jury.

Open Saturday until 7pm, the full café menu will be available until 5pm and charcuterie platters from 6pm;
Basils pop up bar is offering a delicious  selection of wine, beer and cocktails featuring Bellarine local Teddy & The Fox Gin.

Enjoy a Basils Ginsecco, Foxy Basil or Garden Picked Gin Mojito!

Basils Saturday music line-up over January features Alister Turrill on the 12th, Kristy Wilson on the 19th, and Della on the 26th; Sunday’s acts include Live Cartledge on the 13th, Ian Zierk “Southern Light” on the 20th, and Wayne Jury on the 27th.

It’s a summer of fun at Basils Farm. Bookings are highly recommended.
