A working farm and vineyard above Swan Bay, where expansive lawns, a rustic cottage and landscaped gardens look out toward Queenscliff and the sparkling bay beyond.
Basils Farm is a working farm and vineyard set on the Bellarine Peninsula at Swan Bay, with panoramic views across the bay to the village of Queenscliff beyond. The property brings together vineyards, expansive open lawns, a rustic cottage and landscaped cottage gardens, giving couples a genuinely rural setting within easy reach of Melbourne and the coast.
The kitchen builds its wedding menus around modern Australian, farm-fresh cuisine, using produce grown in the on-site gardens alongside trusted local suppliers. House-made dishes lead the offering, with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options available, and celebration cakes prepared through the farm's own pastry service. Drinks centre on estate wines under the Basils Farm Reserve and The Farmhouse labels, poured beside local boutique beers and non-alcoholic choices.
Ceremonies and photographs make the most of the setting, from the vines and open lawns to Basil's Cottage, a treed entrance and the sparkling ocean backdrop. Couples are welcome to make an appointment to view the location and taste the wines with the events team, who can be reached at [email protected] to talk through dates, spaces and package details.
