# Doggy Day Out on the Mornington Peninsula

Self-guided pet-friendly day following digital clues across the Peninsula. Dog cafe with pup-approved snacks, human treats, and a relaxed winery picnic lunch. Runs Thursday to Sunday weekly.

Editor's verdict

The Peninsula's best format for dog people. The digital trail structure keeps it interesting for the owners as much as the dogs.

Shire-backed self-guided experience that runs Thursday to Sunday. You follow digital clues across the Peninsula, stopping at a dog-specific cafe (pup snacks, human coffee), a picnic lunch at a winery that's set up for it, and whatever activity stops they've built into the route for that week.

Bring the dog, bring a light jacket for winter, book ahead so they know you're coming and have the picnic ready.

Not a children's event despite the name - it's designed for dog owners and runs on the assumption your dog is the main character of the day.
