Crittenden Wines

Established in 1982, Crittenden Wines is one of the Mornington Peninsula's pioneering family-owned wineries, renowned for its commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability.

Set at the base of Red Hill in Dromana, the estate brings together fine wine, exceptional food, and genuine hospitality in a serene lakeside setting.

At its heart lies the Crittenden Cellar Door, offering a relaxed, seated tasting experience overlooking the vineyard lake. Guests can explore an award-winning portfolio featuring elegant cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, alongside distinctive Mediterranean-inspired varieties. Recognised among the Halliday Top 100 Wineries in Australia, Crittenden continues to set benchmarks for craftsmanship and environmental responsibility.

The newly opened Crittenden Restaurant delivers a refined yet welcoming dining experience. Led by Head Chef Brunno Melo, the menu celebrates seasonal local produce, perfectly paired with estate wines. With its renovated interior, landscaped terrace, and tranquil water views, it's ideal for relaxed long lunches or memorable evening dining.

For those wishing to stay, the Lakeside Villas at Crittenden offer boutique, self-contained accommodation built directly over the vineyard lake. Each villa includes a private deck, wood fireplace, and spa bath with water views.

Whether visiting for a tasting, a meal, or a stay, Crittenden captures the essence of coastal wine country at its finest.
