Don't believe we got everything stated on the website.
Enjoyed the wine tasting at Scotchmans Hill but didn’t think much of the beer tasting and then the cider tasting at flying brick. No food with tastings which I believe it states on the website. Could have been so much better so a little disappointed with the whole experience.
Review for Bellarine Food & Wine Taste Trail
Awesome day out and about adventuring around Phillip Island
Awesome day out thanks to Chris the very knowledgeable guide. His knowledge and hints and tips ensured that everyone got the most out of the day especially for great photos and enjoying each of the spectacular places we visited. This tour is a must do.
