Read MoreAlright, this used to be a little juicy secret but it’s just not anymore. Houston’s Barbecue is the hottest joint in Melbourne if you are looking for authentic Texan BBQ.

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.
