A perfect way to celebrate a special occasion or simply to treat yourself to a relaxing day with friends, our “Red Therapy” Wine Tour across Mornington Peninsular and Red Hill leisurely explores the region’s beautiful landscapes and world-class wineries.
Renowned for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as pioneering Pinot Gris/Grigio in Australia, the Mornington Peninsula produces a vast range of quality wines. Set between two bays – Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay – this cool climate region is dominated by strong winds that sweep across the land. With red volcanic soils and hills rising 300 meters above sea level, the area produces grapes with outstanding fruit flavors, high natural acidity, and fine tannins, resulting in excellent vintages.
This summer calls for the perfect opportunity to spoil yourself with some of the Peninsulas’ beautiful Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and of course, the region’s jewel, Pinot Noir.
Pick-up from St Paul's Cathedral or a location of your choice within Melbourne CBD. It will take approximately 1 hour to reach Mornington Peninsula from Melbourne CBD.
Our 1st stop is a wine tasting experience at Ten Minutes by Tractor, one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most famous premium wineries. To properly understand why this estate is so renowned demands a visit. The wines – especially the single vineyard chardonnays – are a must try; the small but superb cellar door is one of the region’s most-visited destinations. Wine Tastings will be provided for all guests at this winery.
Our 2nd stop is a combination of wine tastings at Red Hill Estate as well as a gourmet lunch served at Max’s Restaurant, Mornington Peninsula’s first winery restaurant. Red Hill Estate wines are truly exceptional, with grapes sourced from Cool Climate wine regions where different cool climates mix with volcanic and sedimentary soils to create wines that are wonderfully textured, complex and elegantly understated. A destination dining experience, Max’s Restaurant is the perfect location for a relaxed lunch, romantic meal or group celebration. Set in beautiful Red Hill with spectacular views of the vineyard, Westernport Bay and Phillip Island, max’s seasonal menu celebrates local produce and modern techniques, while the dining room has a relaxed ambiance with professional and friendly service. Glass walls on three sides maximize the vineyard and coastal views. Enjoy a gourmet lunch on the expansive lawns during summer at this legendary winery restaurant.
