Explore the Mornington wine region with our laid back, casual, fun and social approach to winery tours. We are the only public group tour of the Mornington Peninsula that picks up both in Melbourne CBD and the Mornington Region.
We put an emphasise on socialising from the start and making the bus drive one of the best parts, ensuring everyone feels comfortable with everyone and getting a playlist started which everyone can add to.
More importantly we realise there are just so many places you can visit out here, so we have perfectly structured an itinerary to give you choice throughout the day. If you want nothing but wine all day, you will get that. If you want to mix it up with some breweries or distilleries then you can get that. Everything is possible on our flexible, laid back tour.
To keep it simple, we will provide 4 tastings at 4 venues. lunch is at your own expense and you'll have choice of 3 venues you can eat. Of the 4 venues, 2 of them are spots where we will offer choices
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
MELBOURNE CITY PICK UP: 74 SPRING STREET, EAST MELBOURNE is not so much as an address as it is more just an area for buses to park. If you put it into google maps it will take you to the right spot. This is across the road from HOTEL WINDSOR and is ontop of Parliament Station. It is also next to a statue called 'Adam Lindsay Gordon'. If you find any of these landmarks, you're in the right spot. We depart, with or without you, at 8:45am. MORNINGTON PICK UPS For people staying out in the Mornington/Red hill Region, Although We would love to be able to pick everyone up from their hotels/airbnbs, we have found that the area is too large and we have wasted almost 2-3 hours just getting around to everyone, SO our new system is that you can either.. -Meet us at the first winery, Trofeo Estate at 10am. We would be passing here at the end of the day and can drop you off here too. Taxis will be able to take you here but they MUST be preordered as they taxis/Ubers do not come at short notice. -The public bus runs every 30 mins from Portsea/Sorrento and stops at every town until you can get to Dromana. We can pick you up from here if this is communicated to us prior. The exact pick up address would be the bus stop across the road from 187 PT NEPEAN HIGHWAY, DROMANA, On maps its knows as stop"Dromana Shops/Point Nepean Rd, Dromana VIC 3936"

Try one of the lesser known wineries in the Red Hill region, but arguably some the best! This winery is unique in that they make all of their wine using an ancient Italian styler method with Terracotta clay pots instead of French oak barrels. Try 5 wines whilst you enjoy a scenery that would be perfect for a wedding. Amazing food available here too and coffee!

We don't always go here, but if we do it's arguably the best wine maker in the entire region. Really elegant and fruit forward pinot noirs, amazing sparkling and a really in depth type of tasting. Not so scenic, but pleases the wine expert.

Tastings are occasionally included here on our tour, but depends on group size so we don't promise it. We can drop people here for lunch if they want something very 'fine-dining'.

We only really come here if we feel the group are really focused on wanting scenic stops and the distillery/breweries as the final stop didn't really interest them. This place is an Irish pub that's situated amongst vineyards. Great little vibe here with live music at the time we come here. beers, wines, ciders, cocktails. We will et you a drink of your choice here rather than a proper tasting. This place is only visited if its agreed upon by everyone, otherwise we will end the day at Jimmy Rums/Brewery.
