Mornington Peninsula Gourmet Full-Day Private Tour

About this tour

This private 8–9 hour tour distils the Mornington Peninsula's best: coastal walks, native wildlife encounters, and cellar-door tastings paired with local producers. Your guide navigates you through working vineyards, artisan cheesemakers, and gallery stops along Port Phillip's dramatic shoreline. Lunch among the vines and morning tea at local spots anchor a day built around conversation with winemakers and makers—the kind of outing that explains why residents keep returning to this corner of Victoria.

What to expect

Your day starts with a morning walk through eucalyptus forest or a wildlife encounter—koalas up close if conditions allow. Mid-morning, settle into a winery where the maker explains their vineyard and pours tastings. Lunch is a proper affair: fresh provisions spread among the vines. Afternoon roaming takes in a cheesemaker's studio, perhaps a distillery or gallery, all threaded by coastal drives. Your guide knows the region's back roads and stories—expect tangents into local history and recommendations that don't appear in guides.

Good to know

All standard admission fees, tastings, water, and meals are covered. Prams and infant seats available if needed. Wear layers for coastal winds and bring sunscreen. The pace suits all fitness levels, though the coastal walk is optional if you'd rather skip it.
