Play: The QTrain experience

For a fun and different experience on your visit to Queenscliff, get your team aboard the QTrain. This collection of restored 1950s railway carriages is literally a moveable feast with passengers served a three-course degustation menu as the train travels from Drysdale Railway Station to Queenscliff, with a stop at Suma Park Historic Homestead, and returns four hours later.

Featuring three dining carriages, and two bars along with a dedicated kitchen carriage, the QTrain exclusively serves local, independent wines, beers and ciders from the Bellarine and across Geelong and the Otways, so this is a great chance to spoil your team and sample the best the region has to offer. Guests can meander through the trains carriages to admire the restoration, gather for a tipple in the Club Loco Bar Ca or stay seated and take in gorgeous water views of Swan Bay.
