You lift off over Melbourne and the city shrinks: glass towers, the ribbon of the Yarra and the marina of Docklands sliding beneath the helicopter’s hush. At 1,500 feet the CBD is a pattern of blocks, then the plane of Port Phillip opens and the Bellarine Peninsula unfurls—green vineyard rows and ragged coastline drawing you toward Jack Rabbit.

History
The Bellarine Peninsula has a maritime and agricultural history; basalt flows and coastal sands attracted pastoralism and, more recently, boutique viticulture and tourism.
Conservation
Vineyards on the Bellarine increasingly practice reduced-chemical viticulture and water-sensitive management to protect coastal wetlands and bay health.
