Itinerary

Why visit the Mornington Peninsula?

Explore one of the lesser-known treasures of Victorian Locals.

The Mornington Peninsula is a popular destination for those looking to escape the city and relax. Its abundant produce, wines, stunning beaches, and rolling farmland are just a few reasons it is a must-visit.

As pioneers in bringing tourists to the Mornington Peninsula and one of the longest-running operators of wine and produce tours departing Melbourne to this region, we offer a variety of fabulous attractions for you to explore on this enjoyable tour.

We begin by going to Main Ridge and enjoying the views from ‘Arthurs Seat Lookout’, appreciating the panoramas across the bay.
This goat’s dairy farm, located in a scenic bush setting, offers an excellent opportunity to taste various kinds of cheese, from soft to complex. Visitors will also have the chance to meet the charming resident goats with floppy ears.
Two wineries are visited during the day, starting with Red Hill Estate for a wine-tasting experience and ending at T’Gallant Vineyard to taste their award-winning excellent climate wines.
A small family-run farm orchard produces traditional apple ciders, high-quality olive oils, and cider vinegar. The taste of their ciders reflects the attention to detail put into each bottle.
The town of Flinders offers galleries, shops, cafes, and restaurants for visitors to enjoy. We explored the township and visited the Mornington Peninsula Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery to sample their gourmet creations.

A visit to the brightly coloured beach boxes is a must. The first stop in the morning is a leisurely walk along the beach, providing the opportunity to capture photos of Melbourne’s unique and charming landmarks.
