It's always an exciting experience to visit one of the many cellar doors around the Mornington Peninsula to try, taste or sample a wine offering. Our vineyards and glorious cool climate wines have made our region a special place to visit. So how should we taste wine? We sat down with winemaker Tony Lee from Foxeys Hangout for all the insider tips and tricks on how you can taste wine like a pro.
If there’s one way to treat both yourself and that special someone alongside you throughout the seasons, it would easily be through an exploration of some of the best wineries in the state which call the Mornington Peninsula home. Winding in and around the verdant hinterland, this itinerary incorporates destinations from Australia’s Best Cellar Door Awards for 2022, in addition to luxury accommodation and extra adventuring pursuits.
