Forget Bridget Jones and the 1980s yellow overly oaked Chardonnays and picture a modern, fresh yet complex wine that truly reflects the varied terroir, is always interesting and identifiable to where it’s grown. On the Mornington Peninsula, we love our Chardonnay.

It turns out that Chardonnay could be the world’s most popular white wine according to the enormous number of bottles sold each year. While native to Burgundy you can now find Chardonnay grown in countries all around the world from Australia, to Europe, Argentina and the USA to name a few.

Whether you’re a local wanting to explore some of your own backyard or are visiting to escape the concrete jungle, you’ll find a bike ride that will tick all your boxes on the Mornington Peninsula.

Here’s our top 5 spectacular bike rides, starting with the easiest first.

There is a whole lot of passion plus quiet determination behind the industrial façade of the Bass & Flinders Distillery, but it has always been so. This small distillery started as a project to hand craft small batches of grape-based spirits utilising premium locally sourced ingredients. To this day the distillery excels at creatively experimenting with unique Australian botanicals during the distillation process. 

Whether you prefer to be in the water or on the water, the mix of rugged ocean and calm bay on the Mornington Peninsula means that there is something to suit your style. Try something you’ve never done before, like learning to scuba dive or swimming with dolphins. We know we shouldn’t boast, but you’ll find an amazing underwater world that really does rival Australia’s northern coast for its incredible colour and marine life. Did you know that our region has 10% of Victoria’s coastline? Now that’s a lot to discover!
