Merricks is an iconic, historical building and a favourite for locals on the Mornington Peninsula. Merricks General Wine Store is
currently owned and operated by the Myer and Baillieu families. Visitors can indulge in a smorgasbord of superb
Mornington Peninsula food, wine, produce and art. The on-site restaurant caters to breakfast and lunch sittings while the nearby cellar door has an array of fine wines to sample.
