Some places you can feel a sense of escape from the moment you arrive... and that's what happens when you venture up the winding driveway of Woodman Estate. If you look closely, there is more to this location than meets the eye. The backdrop to this fifty-acre exclusive retreat is a picturesque lake and bushland where the luxury country house retreat is well hidden away. You don't have to stay to enjoy the estate fare, or to pamper yourself at the wellness retreat, but you can if you want. 

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. 

In the rolling hills of the Mornington Peninsula hinterland you will find a gem that is a little off the beaten track, but worth finding. Here at Main Ridge Estate something special is happening. In fact it has been happening for more than 40 years; steadily building a rich heritage and culture of excellence.

There is certainly something special about sharing a fruit picking adventure with friends and family in the open air and sunshine; especially when the berries are grown using sustainable farming practices and are so sweet and delicious.
