Our coastline is reminiscent of the Mediterranean, with cafes, restaurants and specialty stores featuring our famous regional wines, gourmet produce and fresh seafood. Our countryside is where our wine and produce story really begins, at wineries with 50 cellar doors, at olive groves, and at farms and gardens where you can pick your own or buy at the gate.
And it's so easy to see it all on the Mornington Peninsula. You can travel the length of our coastlines, or meander back and forth on country roads taking any delicious side trip that takes your fancy.
