What happens on this tour

Departure from Melbourne CBD at approximately 8:30 am. The day covers three to four Mornington Peninsula cellar doors, with guided tastings at each. A winery lunch or produce stop is included. Most departures include a stop at Peninsula Hot Springs or a beach walk before the return journey. Arrival back in Melbourne is typically between 5:30 and 7:00 pm.

Who this suits

Guests who want to cover multiple cellar doors in a single day without the logistics of driving. Works well for visitors new to the Peninsula who want an introduction to the wine region. Groups of two to four who are happy to share a bus with other guests.

Who should look elsewhere

Guests who want a private, customised itinerary. Those who want extended time at a single estate. Groups larger than eight who want a self-contained vehicle.

Booking intelligence
