Dreaming of... Geelong
Discover the vibrant waterfront city of Geelong on the Bellarine Peninsula. Located just over an hour from Melbourne / Narrm and intersecting with the Great Ocean Road, its name is derived from Djilang in the language of the Wadawurrung People.
Here wine, art and regional cuisine intersect with long surf beaches on one side and calm bays on the other. Learn to surf at Ocean Grove, pick berries in the lush farmlands at Tuckerberry Hill Berry Farm or enjoy a guided cool climate wine tasting at Jack Rabbit Vineyard followed by their signature seafood-packed mussel masterclass. Complete your program with a gala dinner at the heritage-listed Provenance Wines on the Barwon River.
Recently welcoming a new Crowne Plaza Hotel, Geelong is an incentive destination worth dreaming about…
"Australia is truly a world-class destination for incentive groups - offering exceptional infrastructure, unique experiences you simply can’t find elsewhere, and an unmatched level of hospitality."
