Celebrate the deliciously plump Portarlington mussel on a curated foodie experience in Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula, less than two hours from Melbourne.

Departing from Portarlington Pier, the intimate bay tours are run by fourth generation mussel farmers Lance and Lizzie Wiffen, aboard the immaculately restored 40-year old Huon pine vessel ‘Valerie’.

The three-hour tours gives guests a front-row seat to the mussel farming process, following by a live cooking demonstration in an intimate 12-guest setting.

Guests will observe how mussels are cultivated, pick magnificent fresh molluscs off the lines and come away with two delicious mussel recipes.

Book your Bellarine Peninsula accommodation on Search and Stay and head to the Portarlington Mussel Tours website to discover the magic of the mussel.
