Mornington Peninsula Wine Icon Named 2024 Legend of the Vine

In a proud moment for the Mornington Peninsula tourism community, Lindsay McCall, founder of Paringa Estate, has been honoured with the esteemed Legend of the Vine award by Wine Communicators of Australia (WCA).

The Melbourne Royal Wine Show Awards Lunch announcement on Friday, November 1st, celebrates Lindsay’s remarkable contributions to the Victorian and national wine industries.
