Mornington Peninsula wine region
Sniff, sip and sample your way around Mornington Peninsula's 50-plus boutique cellar doors for unexpected experiences, new friends and delicious winery meals.
Passion for pinot
Passionate peninsula vintners who grow their own fruit will tell you all about the famed regional pinot noir and the cool-climate chardonnay, and let you in on the secrets of the newer regional varietals, including pinot grigio, pinot gris and shiraz.
Regions within a region
You'll taste different styles as you cruise the compact region. Climate, topography, land and soil structure create distinct micro-climates around the hinterland villages of Red Hill, Main Ridge and Moorooduc, and Merricks, Balnarring and Dromana on the coast.
Chat with other wine buffs over your tasting journey, or relax and take advantage of winery restaurants, casual eateries, accommodation and broad sundecks.
