Wineries, hot springs, clifftop views and bay beaches — all within an hour of Melbourne. The Peninsula is the city's favourite escape, and with a private driver you can fit the best of it into one perfect day.
The Peninsula's magic is variety — a tasting at a clifftop winery, a soak in natural hot springs and a beach walk can all happen in the same afternoon. We stitch it together so you just enjoy it.
Montalto, Stonier, Moorooduc Estate, Ten Minutes by Tractor — the Peninsula's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are among Australia's best.
Natural thermal pools terraced into the hillside — book a bathe session and arrive relaxed, towel-dry and chauffeured.
Ride the Eagle gondola or drive to the summit for sweeping views across Port Phillip Bay to the Melbourne skyline.
Calm bay swimming at Rosebud and Rye, the colourful bathing boxes of Mount Martha, or the wild ocean side at Sorrento back beach.
Strawberry picking at Sunny Ridge, cheese at Main Ridge Dairy, chocolate at the Mornington Peninsula Chocolaterie — great for families.
It's only an hour from town, so even a relaxed day fits four or five stops — and everyone travels together with no parking stress.
The Mornington Peninsula wraps around the southeastern side of Port Phillip Bay, under an hour from Melbourne. It's closer than the Yarra Valley and more varied — wine country in the middle, beaches on both coasts, and the famous hot springs in between.
The wine day: three or four cellar doors through Red Hill and Main Ridge with a long lunch at a vineyard restaurant. The relaxation day: a morning soak at Peninsula Hot Springs, lunch in Flinders or Sorrento, and a clifftop walk before home. The family day: strawberry picking, the chocolaterie, beach time at Rye and the Arthurs Seat Eagle. Or mix all three — your driver will make the geography work.
Want more wine? Compare with the Yarra Valley tour — or do both on different days.
