Quiddity Place: Opening 19th November 2025 ✨
We can't wait to welcome you to Quiddity Place - a new Bellarine destination from the family behind Oakdene that weaves food, wine, art and landscape into an experience like no other.
Quiddity means ‘the whatness’ - the elusive essence that makes something unmistakably itself. At Quiddity Place, it’s found in the details, the stories...the unique character of this place. It really stays with you.
After 9 years in the making, it's nearly ready! With 60 acres of vines and more than 6,000 olive trees producing Lighthouse Extra Virgin Olive Oil, it's pure Bellarine.
Here you can explore:
- Hidden Frog restaurant, led by chef Dwayne Bourke
- Oakdene Wines Cellar Door (all wine is exclusively made from the two vineyards - Quiddity Place and Oakdene in Wallington)
- Tin Liz Gallery, a vibrant celebration of Indigenous Australian art
- Little Tin Gallery, dedicated to local artists
- Stunning accommodation overlooking the vineyards and Swan Bay
We're counting down the days to open the gates and share it with you...we hope to see you very soon!
