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 just over one 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 Stonier Winery and Paringa 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. 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 T’Gallant Winery, Red Hill Estate or visit the quaint town of Sorrento, which boasts many fine buildings and historic sites made from local limestone. The main street offers cafes boutiques, galleries, and antique and gift shops. Always a favoured destination with visitors and holidaymakers, Sorrento's mix of natural attractions, seaside charm, casual sophistication and historic flavour are a winning combination.
