You’ll love the events that are planned over winter, come and enjoy the fabulous Mornington Peninsula’s wide variety of winter feasts and workshops, perhaps even a steam train ride plus much, much more.

On the Mornington Peninsula there is a huge assortment of indulgent winter treats to taste. It’s a great time of year to take a drive and pop in for some serious winter seasonal goodies! 

So; consider that back in the day roads were in a bad state and cars were just A to B transport – a ferry was just another addition to transport. But roads improved, and cars changed dramatically in the way of luxury, safety and entertainment so to continue to be ‘just transport’ the business would not survive. Today Australia’s most popular car and passenger ferry service, Searoad Ferries, connects the Mornington Peninsula to the Bellarine Peninsula and the Great Ocean Road and you’ll find it’s more than just a connection across the bay. This isn’t your stereotypical old and traditional transport service, it’s an experience. It’s everything from the warm welcome as you arrive, the incredible scenery, the great chance to unwind, or the surprise sighting of wildlife along the way. It really can be the best part of your road trip - and all you need to do is sit back and enjoy. You’ll find that there is more than meets the eye to Searoad Ferries.

Founded by a visionary wine legend, Garry Crittenden, and with second generation wine-maker, Rollo Crittenden, still pushing the boundaries, Crittenden Estate is owned and operated by a family that loves everything about wine. With more than three decades of experience under their belts, they consistently deliver world class results and seriously good wines that are a joy to explore and share with family and friends.

Hip Hip Hooray for the Queen’s Birthday long weekend. On the Mornington Peninsula this pretty much signals that you have permission to indulge in three full days of tasting the best flavours of the season. We’re talking about everything from our renowned cool climate wines, to elusive truffles and amazing gin.
