Australia's newest and fastest growing boutique wine district, featuring over 100 vineyards and 35 cellar door facilities, many of which include restaurants with breathtaking views over sea and countryside. The region is blessed with sandy beaches and tranquil rolling green hills between Western Port Bay and Port Phillip Bay and is within 1½ hours drive from Melbourne.

A relatively young region, the Mornington Peninsula is best known for its medium-bodied dry table wines. Its marginal maritime climate means that its most successful wines are the chardonnays and pinot noirs, with Pinot Gris winning acclaim. .

Visit Dromana Estate Winery and Red Hill Estate Winery followed by lunch at the unique and beautiful Montalto Vineyard and Olive Grove. Montalto is a spectacular 50-acre natural amphitheatre property incorporating 23 acres of premium vines, 1500 olive trees, extensive wetlands and bird life and a fruit and nut grove and kitchen gardens to provide self sustaining produce for their restaurant. Enjoy the innovative provincial food in their highly acclaimed restaurant, taste their award winning wines and olive oil in the cellar door or take a stroll through the wetlands. Conclude the afternoon with visits to the cellar doors of Stonier Wines and Willow Creek Vineyard or Moorooduc Estate.
