FAQ

Mornington Peninsula Winery Tour, answered.

Absolutely — and it makes for one of the best days out in Victoria. We’ll schedule the wineries and the hot springs to flow naturally. Most groups do 2–3 cellar doors in the morning and early afternoon, then relax at the hot springs before heading home. Bliss.

Yes — especially on weekends and during school holidays. Let us know at booking that you’d like to include the hot springs and your guide will handle the reservation for you.

Absolutely — especially on a clear day. The views across the peninsula and Port Phillip Bay are extraordinary, and it’s a unique experience that adds something completely different to the day. Takes about 30–45 minutes including the gondola ride.

The peninsula is best known for its elegant cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — grown in maritime conditions with warm days and cool nights that produce wines of exceptional finesse and balance, often compared favourably to Burgundy. There’s also fantastic Pinot Gris, sparkling, and Italian-style varietals at some producers.

Testimonials

We had the most amazing time with Ange. He was punctual, his car was immaculate and he went to the trouble of having ice cold waters in the car for us (on a very hot day). He was so accommodating to all of our needs and super patient – he even cooled the car down for us before we got back in after our stops. Ange is an incredibly friendly and interesting guy who made our day. If we could give more than 5 stars we would! Thanks Ange!
