‘It’s the picnic principle. Things taste better outdoors and if it’s a forbidden thing, so much the better…’

There is a romantic charm that wraps our plans as we dream of gorgeous spreads of gourmet delights on the humble picnic rug.  A place to gather, a place to feast - things do taste better outdoors, especially if we are sampling the delights sourced from the very place we are sitting.

With summer still here for a few glorious weeks, we have hunted and gathered our favourite picnic spots to let you in on all the local secrets (as well as some awe-inspiring walks in case you want to walk off lunch!).

On Monday 20 January 2020, The Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) announced its Readers’ Choice – Best in Region Award. For its second consecutive year, Red Gum BBQ was granted this prestigious title garnered through public vote for the Mornington Peninsula region of Victoria.

For those eager to try something new, taste something different or explore something not yet seen, we have gathered some of the most unique and unusual experiences on offer this summer to inspire your sense of curiosity on the Peninsula.
