Wineries

Geelong was the largest grape-growing region in Victoria in the 1800s, and it has undergone a renaissance in the last couple of decades as winemakers rediscover rich soils and a climate that is halfway between France’s Bordeaux and Burgundy.

The Geelong region, including the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast, has developed a enviable reputation as a producer of fine wines. To sample some of the local wines, we suggest you visit the following websites to plan which and how many of the Geelong Wine Region’s 44 wineries you can visit!
