Our Pick of Winery Tours on the Mornington Peninsula

Whether you’re commemorating a big birthday, celebrating a milestone, or just looking to treat yourself and your friends to a memorable day, a winery tour is always a good idea. Open air, delicious fresh food, views of rolling hills and vineyards, good mates, and wine. What’s not to love? 

If you’re toying with the idea of a wine tour in Victoria, the Mornington Peninsula is the ultimate region to explore. Renowned for its stunning vineyards, incredible local produce, and world-class wines, the Mornington Peninsula is home to some of the best big-name and boutique wineries in the country. 

Not all winery tours are made equal, so we’ve collated a list of the best winery tours on the Mornington Peninsula. From private luxury experiences to cycling trips, this list has a tour for every palette. 

Winery and Lunch Tour with a Private Car

If you’re looking to go all out and splurge, the Winehop Winery and Lunch Tour with a Private Car is our top pick. 

Unlike other pre-arranged winery tours, with this tour you’ll get to choose the four wineries you visit. You’ll be chauffeured in your own private car too, which is why it’s a little pricier than the other options listed. The tour includes tastings at all four wineries, lunch, and a complimentary glass of wine. 

You’ll also be picked up and dropped off from your chosen location, so all you need to do is get dressed in your winery best! Pick up time is around 9:30am and drop off is around 5:00pm, meaning you’ll have plenty of time to leisurely roam around each of the venues. 

This tour requires a minimum of two people and a maximum of seven people, so it’s perfect for an anniversary surprise or a day out with friends. 

Cost: $285 per person ($220 deposit payable on booking)

Food and Wine Taste Trail 

If you’re not overly fussed about a private car, the Explore Australia Food and Wine Taste Trail offers a classic winery tour experience.

It’s slightly cheaper, at $189 per head, and you’ll be experiencing the best of the Peninsula. The day begins with a wine tasting at Point Leo Estate, straight into another tasting at the Rare Hare at Jackalope. 

Then, you’re off to Monalto for your third wine tasting and lunch, before making your way to St Andrews Beach Brewery for a taste paddle. 

The day concludes with stop offs at Murray’s Lookout and the Peninsula Bathing Boxes for some incredible views and insta-worthy pic opportunities. 

There are several pick-up and drop-off points, so head to the Mail Exchange Hotel, Her Majesty’s Theatre, the Regent Theatre, the Travelodge Hotel Southbank, or Geelong Fishermans Pier. 

In our humble opinion, this is the ideal wine tour experience for travellers and larger groups.

For Hen’s and Buck’s parties and birthday celebrations, the Tour Local Bottomless Brunch by the Bay is the perfect activity.

Your entertaining tour leader will take you on a journey through the Peninsula. You’ll begin by enjoying bottomless mimosas with brunch at The Cafe by the Bay, where you can wander the beautiful Mt Martha Foreshore.

In the afternoon, you’ll travel through Red Hill and relax at the stunning Pt Leo Estate, before returning to your designated drop-off location.

Peninsula Hidden Gems

While the big-time wineries are definitely must-sees, it’s the smaller, boutique wineries that deliver the most personal experience. 

The Grape Explorations ‘Peninsula Hidden Gems’ tour focuses on boutique, family-run wineries off the beaten track. 

On this tour, you’ll likely have the chance to meet the winemakers themselves and receive an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at all things wines and vines.

About the region

With red volcanic soils and hills rising 300m above sea level, the region’s climate is dominated by the strong winds that constantly sweep across the land from both Port Phillip Bay and the Bass Strait. While rainfall is usually reliable, supplementary irrigation is often required during the growing seasons. A prolonged and gentle autumn usually results in fully ripe grapes with outstanding fruit flavours, high natural acidity and fine tannins. The Mornington Peninsula district has a reputation built around excellent vintages of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; you will also find Shiraz, the greatest concentration of Pinot Gris in Australia, and even some Tempranillo.

The region has a history of agricultural production, supplying the Melbourne markets with fruit, berries, vegetables and herbs. The region is also an important recreation and tourist destination mainly servicing the Melbourne population who flock to the area on weekends and holidays. This is a modern wine region that has only recently been developed for viticulture. Commercial wine production dates back to the early 1970s. Today, there are more than 200 vineyards, of which over half are less than 5 acres and two thirds less than 10 acres in size. Commercial growth, however, is driving by the bigger players, with vineyards of more than 20 acres currently accounting for well over 40% of the total grape growing area planted.

We had a fantastic time on the wine tour of the Mornington Peninsula on Sunday! Trevor, our guide/driver, was lovely and very knowledgeable about the region and also all the different wines available. Wine Tours Victoria tailored our day very well to any requests, and really went the extra mile. Service was excellent, and nothing was too much trouble for Trevor, I would thoroughly recommend them to others !

We booked a weekday winetour and were picked up from the door of our hotel. It was a glooy, drizzly and comd winters day but John, our driver and tour guide was very good company and very knowledgeable of the area. Had a great day, tasted (and purchased) some great wine and had a fabulous lunch. Will definitely do another!

This was my second time ‘touring’ with Wine Tours Victoria and I think I preferred the Mornington Peninsula over the Yarra trip. Both had similar format but the wineries and the lunch were more to my liking on this tour.Our guide Melissa had just the right mix of professionalism and flexibility.We never felt rushed,nor did we feel we had too long at any of the wineries or the wonderful lunch at Merricks General Store.Fun company also made for a great day out….Thanks Melissa and Wine Tours Victoria.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our driver and guide for the day, Melissa. Firstly she was bang on time with our pick up. Had home baked biscuits to have with our morning tea stop. Melissa took us to four lovely boutique wineries with great wine, and we even got to taste a few premium wines not on the cellar door tasting list. Lunch at Merricks was devine, relaxed and with good food. Melissa even did a little detour to the Red Hill Bakery to pick up their specialty Duck pies. It was a perfect day. Melissa became a part of our group and was so accomodating. Thank you all for a perfect autumn day with great friends old and new.

Prior to making our trip to Australia in January we knew we wanted to take a wine tour and I reached out to three companies in October. Of the three companies I traded email with, only Wine Tours Victoria followed up two weeks later to ask if I had any more questions or if they could still assist. All three were highly rated so this one factor differentiated this company from the competition and is the reason I chose them over the others.

I booked the tour only a few weeks before our trip and was told they could accommodate, but we might have a tour of up to 11 people. When Trevor picked us up from the door of our hotel we learned our group of four were the only people on the van and we had a private tasting tour.

Trevor was excellent, we found him pleasant, knowledgeable, and unfiltered; Trevor would give us a front of mind answer to any question and I found this quite refreshing. His van was pristine, a very large Mercedes mini-van that was extremely comfortable.

We road for a little under an hour from Melbourne to Mornington Peninsula and stopped at a small park for a break. Trevor broke out tea, pressed fresh coffee, and offered a breakfast cake for everyone to enjoy. Then we packed up and headed off to our first tasting flight. Trevor seemed to know the winery staff well and we found them very enjoyable. The wines were very good as well. Next we headed to a combination tasting room, market, and restaurant. We had another flight of wine, and it was very interesting because as a market we tasted wines from many different wineries. Then we headed into the restaurant for our lunch reservation. There were about four lunch choices offered and we started with an antipasto plate. Everyone enjoyed the food. A glass of wine was included, and we purchased another glass with our meal. The lunch was a very good part of the tasting trip.

Next Trevor asked whether we would like to try one of his regular stops or venture out, roll the dice, and try a place he’s not visited before. We chose the new place and stopped in a very small boutique winery. It was beautiful, charming really. The owner was pouring wine and talking about her wines, which were made off-premises by someone else. It was really pleasant, although we really didn’t like her wines. I talked at lunch about my personal policy of buying a bottle of wine any time we tasted but I couldn’t bring myself to buy a bottle there. Still, I’m glad we saw the grounds, and I hope all the best for the owner.

Our final stop on the tour was my favorite winery. Again we approached a stunning landscape that reminded me a lot of our beautiful wine country in Oregon. The tasting room was large and we were attended to very well. The wines kept coming and getting better as we went through them. Coincidentally, the one wine we bought at the tasting at the store before lunch came from this winery. We picked up two more bottles here to round out the collection we would take home to share with friends.

We shared nice conversation again on the drive back and Trevor took us along a different route so we could explore new scenery.

It was a great day in total and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Trevor was attentive and the trip was well conceived. I would change not one thing; if we make it back to Melbourne we will tour with Trevor again, and I highly recommend Wine Tours Victoria for a wine tasting trip.

What a fabulous company, we can’t recommend them highly enough. From the ease of booking right through to being dropped back at our Melbourne hotel everything was fabulous. John our guide for the day could not have been more helpful and delightful. The selection of Yarra Valley wineries we visited was perfect and the morning tea & homemade fruit cake YUM! Will definitely be booking another tour with them to try out the wineries on the Mornington Peninsular. Thanks again Trevor & John, we shall be returning.

I went on a great tour of Mornington Peninsula wineries with wine tours Victoria today – highly recommended! I booked very last minute but it wasn’t a problem. John was a lovely guide – very friendly, knowledgeable and patient! The group was great and we took our time but John didn’t get stressed about us being late for bookings. The wineries were great – a nice mix and we had a lovely and substantial lunch. The morning tea stop was a nice touch as well, despite the weather! All in all, exactly what I hope for from a wine tour – small group, friendly guide and no stops at touristy cheese or chocolate factories!

Best Mornington Peninsula Wineries & Wine Tours for 2024

The wine region of Mornington Peninsula in Australia is the perfect destination for #Winetravelers who love the ocean, quality wine and luxury. Read on to see our list of the best recommended wineries to visit in the Mornington Peninsula, along with wine tour options from experts who have spent a significant amount of time on multiple trips to the region.

Just south of Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula is one of Australia’s few true maritime wine regions, surrounded by ocean on three sides. It is similar to Burgundy, France , or Oregon’s Willamette Valley in climate, soils, and wine produced. Due to the region’s cool climate, varietals like Chardonnay and Pinot Noir do well here. Vineyards grow from the gentle, undulating countryside of the north through the rich fertile wooded uplands tumbling down to the southern plains.

In this green and still very pastoral hinterland, the Mornington Peninsula wine renaissance started back in the 1970s. Today there are 200 vineyards, 60 wineries, and 50 cellar doors.

Mornington Peninsula embodies the concept of luxury more than any other wine region in Australia . Its world-class wines, gourmet restaurants, upscale accommodations, many of them oceanfront, and stunning scenery all combine to make it a premier wine destination.

Some of the views you can expect to see along the vineyards and the coast of Mornington Peninsula. Images courtesy Pam & Gary Baker .

Wines of Mornington Peninsula

Renowned worldwide for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but not limited to either varietal, the Mornington Peninsula offers a cool, Mediterranean maritime-influenced environment. This Victorian appellation has three distinct microclimates. The wine-growing zones experience subtle fluctuations caused, in varying degrees, by altitude, aspect, and wind, not to mention copious sunlight. The soil ranges from granitic sand to red clay. Due to these varying elevations and soil types throughout the region, it produces several different wines in unique styles and characteristics that reflect their respective terroirs.

Almost 50% of the plantings are Pinot Noir, and around 30% are Chardonnay. Pinot Gris , a grape recently introduced to this region, is the third most planted variety. Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc vie for fourth place in the plantings. A small percentage of Fiano , Riesling , and Cabernet Sauvignon also grows here.

The wines live up to the region’s reputation for luxury. Here, few wines sell for less than $30 AUD, and they display the elegance and character that gourmet travelers expect.

The History

Although the Mornington Peninsula began as a small but award-winning wine region in the late 1800s, by 1920, all the vineyards had been abandoned or torn out. Tough economic times and changing tastes drove its decline.

Over the years, there were a few attempts at viticulture, including a vineyard planted in Dromana by the head of the famous Barossa Seppelt family. But it wasn’t until 1980 that Main Ridge Estate released the region’s first commercial vintage. Soon after, the winery won gold medals at the Lilydale Wine Show. Others followed, and by the early 1990s, recognition of the region’s potential to produce quality wine caught the attention of the wine industry.

From its first commercial vintage in 1980, the Mornington Peninsula is now home to 200 vineyards and 60 wineries welcoming visitors with cellar doors, restaurants, and accommodations.

The Best Wineries in Mornington Peninsula

Every #Winetraveler has a preference when it comes to exploring a new wine region. Or, perhaps they’re looking for new experiences within a region they’ve already been. That being said, the Mornington Peninsula winery roundup below is broken into several categories, ranging from wineries in the region that offer lodging, to wineries that have restaurants on the property and/or unique grounds and settings. To be sure, there’s a wine tasting experience here for any kind of traveler.

Wineries with Accommodation

Many of the wineries in the Mornington Peninsula are destinations in themselves, offering a full-service restaurant, cellar door, accommodations, and sometimes a full bar. We list those wineries first that offer accommodation and other amenities.

Crittenden Estate

8 Olivers Road, McLaren Vale

+61 8 8323 7750

What Guests Like About It: Unique wines, the ability to choose which wines to taste, and the onsite restaurant

Garry Crittenden started the estate in 1982. Today, it is home to a modern wine center and lakeview villas. The estate is now managed by second-generation family members Rollo and Zoe. It also features an on-site restaurant owned and operated by Zac Poulier.

Gourmet Traveller awarded Crittenden the “Best Large Cellar Door on the Mornington Peninsula” in 2021 and 2022.

This estate has 20+ different wines made in several different styles. Upon arrival, guests are seated and asked which varietals they are most interested in tasting. With styles ranging from dry to sweet, white to rosé to red, groups will surely find a wine for each person.

Crittenden was the first estate to commercialize several Italian varietals in the region including Sangiovese, Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Arneis. They also have a couple of Savangin wines, Cri de Coeur- a Jura-style wine that has been aged biologically under flor and Zumma, a pure expression of the varietal with no Flor influence. This type of maturation, 100% naturally occurring in their winery, is rarely seen outside of Jura and Jerez. Made by “accident” in 2011, it has been received so well that the winery has continued to make it every year since in small quantities. 

The onsite restaurant, Stillwater, reflects the best seasonal produce, sourced locally and organic where possible. The modern interior is light and breezy with neutral tones. Lunch is available. Check for restaurant hours ahead of time.

The winery has three self-contained villas. Rates include breakfast and wine tasting. You can book any of these villas right here on Tripadvisor .

Open daily, 10:30 am – 4:30 pm. Reservations recommended. Tasting fees $15 (AUD) for the introductory flight. It includes six wines of your choosing. The Cri de Coeur Flight is $35 (AUD).

Sprawling vineyards surround a luxury hotel and cellar door where guests can taste some of the region’s best-regarded cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. For a more engaging wine-tasting experience, guests are welcome to sample a multi-course dinner at the on-site Doot Doot Doot Restaurant where a unique selection of limited-release, single-vineyard wines are paired with each course.

The winery’s luxury hotel features an infinity pool that overlooks the vineyards and a sauna. Breakfast is included. In-room dining, martini tasting, and cooking classes are available for hotel guests. You can book your stay right here on Tripadvisor .

What Guests Like About It: The luxe lodging

Polperro Winery , a modern winery started by winemaker Sam Coverdale in 2006, morphed from a winery to much more of a destination since its inception. It features a cellar door, a restaurant, and onsite accommodations.

The wines are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay focused. Their classic wines are labeled “Even Keel,” while their more site-specific range takes the name “Polperro,” which has single vineyard designations.

The bistro attached to the winery offers the most artfully composed dishes on the peninsula. The menu features a pre-fixe five-course lunch with an optional wine pairing.

The lodging at Polperro is very popular with visitors. Each private villa has a gigantic bath, fireplace, usable kitchen, and vineyard steps from the porch. Polperro also rents its farmhouse with three bedrooms and two baths for larger groups. You can book any of these accommodations right here on Tripadvisor .

Polperro provides breakfast and locally crafted coffee to enjoy in the morning, a complimentary wine tasting in their tasting room, and several dining packages as part of your stay. 

The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm. The cellar door is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. Tasting fee is $20 (AUD) per person, no reservation required for groups up to six.

Wineries in Mornington Peninsula with Restaurants

Foxeys Hangout

795 White Hill Road, Red Hill

+61 3 5989 2022

Main Ridge Estate

80 William Road, Red Hill

Main Ridge Estate is the oldest operational winery in the region, having produced Mornington’s first commercial vintage in 1980: a Pinot Noir, a Pinot Meunier, and a Cabernet Sauvignon. Nat and Rosalie White planted Pinot Noir and later Chardonnay along with other Burgundian varietals in 1975. Even through an ownership change in 2015, these varieties have emerged as the enduring wines of the estate.

In a small, rustic, yet personal cellar door, guests typically receive an authentic one-hour tasting experience, often involving the winemaker himself. Guests are seated at small tables mounted on top of the end of wine barrels.

The Larder Restaurant serves simple, seasonal, and generous sharing dishes, designed to complement Main Ridge Estate’s renowned wines. Wine pairings available. Lunch is also available in the winery on weekends.

Open daily from 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Tasting fee is $10 (AUD) per person. Reservations recommended.

33 Shoreham Road, Red Hill

+61 3 5989 8412

What Guests Like About It: A leisurely stroll through the vines along the Sculpture Trail after wine tasting

With a sculptured, walkable garden and a well-developed olive grove, guests enjoy one of Mornington’s most striking locations. The beauty of the site is matched by creative and elegant award-winning wines available for tasting in the cellar door. Seated, 45-minute tastings are hosted by experienced, knowledgeable staff. Guests can enjoy either a mixed, white, or red flight of three Montalto wines paired with local sourced, award-winning cheeses.

Montalto has two onsite dining choices – The Restaurant at Montalto and the Piazza. The Restaurant offers a curated collection of dishes in a modern setting with floor to ceiling views of the vineyard. The Piazza is a more casual option set in Wendy’s Garden with views of the vines and sculptures.

The Restaurant is open Friday – Monday for lunch. Reservations recommended. The Piazza is open daily from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. Kitchen closes at 4:00 pm. Walk-ins only.

Paringa Estate

44 Paringa Road, Red Hill

+61 3 5989 2669

What Guests Like About It: The Estate Pinot Noir and Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

Started in 1984 by Lindsay McCall, a geography teacher at the time, Paringa Estate is one of the premier food and wine destinations in the Mornington Peninsula. Its restaurant has earned Ten Chef Hats (like Michelin stars) since 2013. Its Cellar Door earned “Best Large Cellar Door” in the 2020 Gourmet Traveller Wine Awards.

Although McCall started with Shiraz plantings, he later expanded to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and other cool-climate varieties. Both the Estate Pinot Noir and the flagship wine, Single Vineyard Pinot Noir, are very popular with guests. The estate wines are produced from mature vines now in their third decade.

The Paringa Restaurant matches the quality of the estate’s wines and overlooks the home vineyard. Lunch is served Wednesday to Sunday from 12:00 pm. Dinner is on Saturday from 6:30 pm. Bookings essential.

The estate also offers Garden Dining for casual fare Wednesday to Sunday from 12:00 – 3:00 pm. Walk-ins only.

10 Shoreham Road, Shoreham

+61 3 5989 8848

Images courtesy Pier 10 Winery and Restaurant.

What Guests Like About It: The restaurant’s warm, relaxed ambiance and the Cellar Door’s attentive staff

Pier 10 offers an informative yet fun experience in wine tasting. Guests can taste house-made sparkling wines (all Methode Champenoise), followed by aromatic whites including Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. The tastings are matched cleverly to the seasons of the peninsula. For example, a new Rosé for the summer might be a unique blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. The hero of the peninsula, Pinot Noir, is also well showcased here.

Pier 10 sources fruit from other wine-growing areas of Australia so guests can also enjoy tasting a warmer climate Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. The Coutta Block Chardonnay Reserve, elegant and smooth with a lovely soft texture on the palate, is a favorite with visitors.

The restaurant’s a la carte menu specializes in modern Australian cuisine, delicious share platters and tapas. It’s open for lunch Thursday – Sunday from 12 Noon. Dinner is available on Friday and Saturday from 6:00 pm.  Reservations recommended.

The cellar door is open Thursday through Sunday from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. Walkins welcome and reservations are available.

Pt. Leo Estate

3649 Flinders Road, Merricks

+61 3 5989 9011

What Guests Like About It: Champagne, cocktail, and caviar menu on Saturdays; sculpture park

One of the most luxurious and popular wineries in the region, the stately Pt Leo Estate is a must-stop. Owned by the Gandel Family, known for their successful shopping center ventures, including Chadstone, one of Australia’s biggest shopping malls, no expense was spared on this jaw-dropping estate.

The private estate reopened in late 2017 as a public winery, architectural landmark, and dining destination. Since its reopening, the accolades have been pouring in, especially for the dining. There are not one but two “hatted” restaurants (a designation like a Michelin star) on site. Laura is a two-hat restaurant, and Pt Leo Restaurant is a single-hat restaurant. A third restaurant, the Wine Terrace, offers more casual dining.

The property also features a stunning sculpture park overlooking the ocean, with a separate admission fee. A walk around the park offers some of the best-curated sculptures in Australia.

Pt Leo Estate earned a five-star rating from Halliday Wine Companion in 2023. It produces elegant Chardonnay and sophisticated Pinot Noir, as well as other white and red varietals. The cellar door offers three tiers of wine tastings each with a flight of five wines, a standard wine tasting, a red wine tasting, and a premium wine tasting.

The tasting fee for the standard flight is $15 (AUD) per person, $20 (AUD) for the red wine tasting, and $25 (AUD) for the premium tasting. The cellar door is open daily from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. Walk-ins are welcome for groups up to six guests. Groups larger than six cannot be accommodated.

Hours and days vary for each restaurant. Reservations recommended.

Ten Minutes by Tractor

1333 Mornington-Flinders Road, Main Ridge

+61 3 5989 6455

What Guests Like About It: Cheese and wine pairings on weekends, the onsite restaurant

As the unusual name implies, Ten Minutes by Tractor is about time and distance as measured by farm equipment. The winery’s story began in 1997 with three family-owned vineyards in the stunning Main Ridge area of the peninsula, each 10 minutes apart by tractor. Over the years, the winery has grown to include three additional vineyards and produces some of the finest cool-climate wine in the region.

A visit to the cellar door leads guests through an in-depth tasting to discover wines that express the true character of the winery’s surrounding vineyards. The Wallis Chardonnay is popular with guests. But the Single Vineyard Pinot Noirs earn high praise from the Australian wine writing community.

Ten Minutes by Tractor also features an award-winning restaurant on-site. It offers a five-course seasonal tasting menu and optional wine pairings. Open Thursday – Sunday for lunch, Friday and Saturday for dinner from 6:00 pm. Reservations are highly recommended.

The cellar door is open Monday – Saturday from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm, Sunday from 11:00 am – 6:00 pm, except public holidays. Reservations recommended.

86 – 112 Tuerong Road, Tuerong

+61 3 5974 3729

What Guests Like About It: Large selection of single vineyard wines, views from the restaurant

The winery was started in 1998 by the Kirby Family. At Yabby Lake , the owners pay great attention to the vineyard. The Single Block Release Program, started in 2008, allows the winery to reflect the distinct characteristics of the vineyard’s individual parcels.

The restaurant features classic seasonal fare with a pre-fixe menu of two courses or three. Inside and out, an engaging collection of artworks is on display. The outdoor deck overlooks the vineyard. Open daily for lunch from 12:00 – 2:00 pm. Two courses $75 (AUD). Three courses $90. Reservations recommended.

The tasting is a curated selection of Yabby Lake Vineyard and Heathcote Estate single vineyards.

The Cellar Door is open daily from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Tasting fee $10 (AUD) per person. Reservations required.

53 Main Creek Road, Red Hill

+61 3 5989 2045

Images courtesy Pam & Gary Baker.

What Guests Like Best About It: Intimate tasting experience with the owners, gorgeous gardens

John and Julie Trueman, two retired teachers, do it all at Myrtaceae . They grow the grapes, make the wine and guarantee a warm welcome. Although it’s the smallest vineyard on the peninsula with a cellar door, the Truemans are dedicated to producing wines that provide true expressions of the varietals in their little vineyard.

Located near Arthurs Seat on the Main Ridge of the peninsula, the winery and tasting room are art-deco inspired with blue and teal fittings and features. Tastings of elegant Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Rosé are served in Riedel rolling tasting glassware. To aerate the wine and bring out its bouquet, guests are encouraged to roll these perfectly sized glasses across the tasting bar or nearby covered barrels. Rolling a Pinot Noir unleashed a bouquet of berries, earthiness with a hint of pepper.

Take some time to wander the well-maintained sloping gardens planted proudly by the owners with native Myrtle varietals and take in picturesque views of their small valley location. Open weekends, tasting fee $5 (AUD). Reservations recommended.

Other Things to Do in Mornington Peninsula

While the wineries are one of the area’s biggest draws, the Mornington Peninsula certainly offers other worthwhile stops and activities.

Arthurs Seat

Arthurs Seat is the highest point within the region clocking in at just over 251m above sea level. With both a high elevation and its location along the shoreline, it is perfect for to-die-for views. A stop at the lookout point or a trip on the gondola at the top between winery visits is a must while in the area. 

Visit the Beach in the Morning and Wine Taste in the Afternoon

Basically, the entire coastline is a beach. Safety Beach and Sorrento Beach are two of the best due to the sand quality and lower volume of sunbathers.

Mornington’s Iconic Rainbow-Colored Beach Boxes

Be sure to explore the peninsula’s rainbow-colored beach boxes of Port Phillip Bay. These icons of Mornington can be found from Mount Eliza and Dromana to Rosebud and Portsea.

Hut Yoga in Red Hill

A small yoga studio nestled in the lush greenery of the area offers daily classes. Located right in the heart of Red Hill, Hut Yoga is easy to find and an ideal way to kick off a day of wine tastings. Be sure to book in advance to secure your mat.

Peninsula Hot Springs

Naturally occurring sulfur hot springs found just off the main stretch of wineries within the peninsula heal and rejuvenate. Peninsula Hot Springs , a natural geothermal mineral springs and day spa, offers several types of pools with differing degrees of heat and views.

Where to Eat

Spitfire Burger

1181 Point Nepean Road, Rosebud

+61 3 5982 3368

In Rosebud, Spitfire Burgers claims to serve the “biggest and best gourmet burger” on the Mornington Peninsula. We can’t argue that. Try one yourself while enjoying the wartime memorabilia that is the restaurant’s theme.

3278 Point Nepean Road, Sorrento

+61 3 5984 1500

The Baths is known for its fresh, open-air restaurant overlooking Sorrento Beach. Beer-battered fish and chips are popular, but the menu also offers many other tempting dishes. Their extensive wine list includes plenty of wines by the glass to accompany your meal.

Where to Stay

Holiday home rentals are very popular in this beach and wine vacationland, but two standout hotels include Hotel Sorrento and the Boathouse Resort Studios and Suites.

Hotel Sorrento

5 – 15 Hotham Road, Sorrento

+61 3 5984 8000

Overlooking the sparkling waters of Port Phillip Bay, Hotel Sorrento’s clifftop location , is an ideal spot to base yourself on the Mornington Peninsula. Set in the heart of the lovable town of Sorrento, the hotel lies within walking distance of postcard-worthy beaches. It combines old-world charm with modern luxury. Enjoy dinner and drinks with a view from their onsite restaurant or one of the three cocktail lounges.

Book Your Stay at the Boathouse Resort on Tripadvisor

3746 Point Nepean Rd, Portsea

+61 3 5984 2213

Portsea has some of the best views of the coastline and is a hot spot in the Peninsula during the summer. The hotel includes several bars and two casual restaurants that are able to keep up with the high volume of guests that flock to this popular hotel. Winetraveler’s personal favorite is The Bertrand Bar found on the second floor that doubles as a yoga studio in the morning. It has an open-air feel with the birds-eye view of the water.

What to Pack

Because it is surrounded on three sides by water, Mornington Peninsula is cooler in the summer and milder in the winter than other Victorian regions. During January and February, the maximum daily temperature averages 77°. In July it is 55°. February averages four days of rain while August has around ten.

When visiting the Mornington, it is important to pack appropriately for the weather conditions. For daytime visits during the summer months, visitors should pack light, breathable clothing such as cotton or linen and a hat to protect themselves from the sun. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes are also essential. In the evenings, the temperature drops, and visitors should pack a light sweater or jacket to keep themselves warm.

During the winter months, visitors should pack layers of clothing to stay warm during the chilly mornings and evenings. Warm jackets, scarves, and gloves are also recommended. Comfortable walking shoes are still essential.

It is important to note that Mornington is a casual destination, and there is no need to dress formally. Visitors can wear casual, comfortable clothing during their visit, particularly when visiting the wineries and cellar doors.

Peruse the  Winetraveler Shop  for some of our trending casual vineyard-hopping apparel that is ideal for exploring the vineyards and indulging in the region’s famous wines.
