Yum, yum, Cinnabuns! Make your way down to this amazing French bakery in Albion and grab yourself one of their delicate, fluffy buns surrounding big bombs of either Nutella or vanilla custard. Mamma also loves their cinnamon and coffee scrolls! Like all good bakeries in Melbourne’s West, these guys sell out like hot cakes so set your alarm so you don’t miss out! Enjoy your fresh French bakery items and coffee in their beautiful courtyard shaded by a grape vine, or out the front where a couple of Parisian-esc table and chairs for two sit on the footpath.

Scotchmans Hill Winery in the Bellarine Peninsula is a STUNNING bistro with an outdoor space to enjoy a delicious meal too. This winery is less kid friendly than some others on the Bellarine - only because there is no kids menu, so it’s more suited to older kids and teenagers - otherwise ideal for a date day or time with friends. There is plenty of outdoor grassy space to relax and enjoy, with a charcuterie board and a glass of wine.
