Depart Peninsula: Mornington Peninsula Food and Wine Tour

About this tour

This eight-hour tour navigates the Mornington Peninsula's wine country with hotel pickups included. You'll visit five producers—from Green Olive Estate's working vineyard to Trofeo Estate's ancient amphora techniques—paired with a short walk to Arthur's Seat for views across the bay, lunch at a Red Hill cellar door, and time wandering sculpture installations at Pt Leo. Two guided tastings and a grazing spread with wine flights anchor the experience. Small groups travel by midi coach with guaranteed window seats.

What to expect

Expect a leisurely morning departure from your accommodation, then a series of stops that blend working vineyards with hospitality. At each cellar door, tastings are guided rather than rushed; you'll learn about production methods alongside sampling. The Arthur's Seat walk is brief and flat—roughly 100 metres—designed for views rather than exertion. Lunch arrives mid-tour at an award-winning Red Hill venue, giving you time to sit and eat properly rather than snack between venues. The afternoon winds down at Pt Leo among contemporary sculptures, where you can linger or opt for another tasting. Throughout, your group stays small and the midi coach provides comfort and WiFi.
