There is a range of options at Oakdene, but we recommend the Manor House Wine Bar, particularly on a Sunday afternoon. Relaxed atmosphere, delicious Asian inspired tapas, and chilled live music. They have a courtesy bus $10 pp and will pick up or drop off in Barwon Heads. Oh…and the Wine Bar is 18+ only, so if you have kids or dogs with you, try the main restaurant area just near the cellar door instead.
