Calling all food fans and rail enthusiasts! You're invited to hop aboard The Q Train for a three-hour degustation, touring along the historic Bellarine Railway from Drysdale to Queenscliff.

Coupling an appreciation of local produce with the nostalgia and romance of rail travel, the menu will be a combination of talents, led by Q Train chef Sean Street and joined by local legends Josh Smith and Caleb Fleet from Merne at Lighthouse. Together, they’ll create a menu that showcases the produce of Geelong, Bellarine, and the Otways matched with a selection of local wines from Bellarine Estate, Oakdene and McGlashan's Estate.

Hop off at Queenscliff Station for a break in proceedings with live music arranged by The Blues Train and tastings from FarmDog Brewing and Bellarine Distillery.
