Itinerary

Unveil the Hidden Gem of Victorian Locals!

The Mornington Peninsula has always been a cherished getaway destination for those seeking a break from the city. Its plethora of fresh produce and wines, stunning beaches, and rolling farmland make it an essential visit.

As pioneers in showcasing the Mornington Peninsula to tourists and among the longest-standing operators of wine and produce tours from Melbourne to this region, we offer a unique array of hidden treasures. Join us on this indulgent and sensational tour to uncover the best the Mornington Peninsula has to offer.

Our journey begins by ascending to Main Ridge, where we’ll soak in the breathtaking views from ‘Arthurs Seat Lookout’, marvelling at the expansive bay panoramas.
Immerse yourself in the rustic charm of this quaint goat’s dairy nestled amidst the wilderness. Indulge in generous platters featuring a variety of cheeses, from soft to hard. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet the friendly resident goats, known for their floppy ears and adorable nature.

Our tour includes not just one but two vineyard visits. Your first wine-tasting experience at Red Hill Estate offers stunning scenic views. The tour’s final winery stop is at T’Gallant Vineyard, where you’ll taste their renowned cool climate wines.

Visit a family-run farm orchard specializing in traditional apple ciders, high-quality olive oils, and cider vinegar. Each sip of their cider reveals the meticulous care infused in every bottle.
The quaint seaside town of Flinders, brimming with art galleries, unique shops, and various dining options (lunch at your own expense), invites a leisurely exploration. But first, treat yourself to the exquisite gourmet chocolate creations of the Mornington Peninsula Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery.

A tour highlight is a stroll along the beach to view the iconic, brightly coloured beach boxes. At our first morning stop, capture some ‘Instagram-worthy’ shots of these quirky and charming Melbourne tour icons.
