Overview

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 to expect

  1. Yabby Lake Vineyard
    45m · Admission ticket included
    We often start the tour by going here as it's the closest winery to Melbourne within this region. You'll try 5 wines in this intimate and under-rated winery and restaurant.
  2. Port Phillip Estate And Kooyong Wines
    40m · Admission ticket included
    Distant ocean views in the background. Incredible wines and arguably the most reputable wine-maker in the region.
    This place is pure class.
  3. T'Gallant Vineyard
    1h · Admission ticket included
    You will have a choice on where you stop for lunch. This is our most popular option normally as often people have heard about it. Great wines, great pizzas, pastas and all sorts of fun stuff. Scenic outside and inside dining. We often end the day here with a tasting.
  4. 1h · Admission ticket included
    You can choose to have lunch here which is great if you have dinner plans as most of their dishes are quite light. A lot of Tapas/sharing styled dishes/grazing plates, with amazing wine and a really wholesome vibe.
  5. 1h · Admission ticket included
    We often come here for lunch at your own expense in the event that dates were too busy to go to the other venues. This is a VERY popular brewery and recently won awards for best pub in the country. Amazing vibe here with live music, great seating options and the best food you have ever tried at a pub. This isn't your typical basic food, there is something fro everyone here and they also have wines, ciders, cocktails. Something for everybody here!
  6. Pt. Leo Estate
    30m · Admission ticket included
    We 100% come here every tour, generally after lunch. Ocean views, elegant wine, an artist sculpture walk that outlooks the ocean. This place is very popular and for good reason!
    We offer people either a tasting or a drink of choice here.
  7. 25m · Admission ticket included
    The best part of the day is the final spot, as you have a choice on where to go as they are all walking distance from each other. This rum place is a local favourite and is well known to make some incredible rum. You'd have a proper 30 minute tasting, trying 4-5 different rums with time afterwards to enjoy a drink at your own expense.
  8. 25m · Admission ticket included
    Next door to Jimmy rums, this place is a pretty stock standard brewery, with some great beers, great food and a great little vibe on weekends.

  10. Mock Red Hill
    25m · Admission ticket included
    We will only come here INSTEAD of PT LEO or Port Phillip Estate. This is a very "Only if everyone agrees to it"This cute and rustic cafe is a very popular spot, particular for couples and families. They sell amazing pastry and bakery goodies, but also have a more solid menu to choose from. They also sell extra things on the side like honey, candles etc...
  11. Arthurs Seat
