Summer means the start of cherry season and the hills of Red Hill and Main Ridge are definitely the place to be. Pick your own deliciousness or grab some already picked, but you have to be quick because they are only in season for a short time!

The eclectic and stylish Blue Mini: Eatery, Emporium, Events has been named ‘Café of the Year’ in the 2019 Mornington Peninsula Best Bites Awards. The annual awards are a Mornington Peninsula Shire and Peninsula Health program that celebrates the ‘best of the best’ in safe, healthy and sustainable food businesses on the Mornington Peninsula.

In a show of the outstanding skills of our local cider makers, the Mornington Peninsula achieved some great results at the recent 2019 Australian Cider Awards with 6 medallists - one gold, one silver and four bronze.

The Mornington Peninsula has become as famous for its culinary experiences as it has for its rugged ocean beaches and gorgeous countryside. New chefs with new ideas and cuisines have joined established local favourites to create an impressive choice for food lovers. They take great pleasure in using the wall-to-wall produce available from local farms and kitchen gardens to deliver some of Australia’s best dining experiences - from funky cafes to fine dining restaurants.
