About this tour
Travel the Bellarine Peninsula aboard a restored heritage railway carriage where five locally-sourced courses unfold alongside vineyard views. The Q Train's private first-class compartment seats two diners who receive matched wine, beer, or mocktail pairings with each plate. The three-hour journey departs from Drysdale, winding between Drysdale and Queenscliff whilst you eat, drink, and watch the countryside glide past through the windows.

What to expect
You'll board at Drysdale Railway Station (arrive 30 minutes early). Once settled into your private compartment, the train departs and courses arrive progressively as the carriage rolls through Bellarine scenery. Each dish showcases local suppliers; wines and other drinks match the food. The journey takes three hours total, giving you time to savour without rushing. Onboard amenities include a restroom and air conditioning. Arrive hungry and dressed for a proper meal—this isn't casual dining.
