Nine to Wine | Private Mornington Peninsula Wine Tours
Tour Details
When the mountains and vineyards are cloaked in mist, Mornington Peninsula becomes a fairy tale, a cozy setting you won’t find in wine country any other time of the year. It’s the best time to connect with friends and take it easy while visiting new wineries (and revisiting old favourites). The wine shops are uncrowded and winemakers often emerge from their cellars to pour wine and visit with their guests. Tasting rooms are cozier than usual with decorations and winter charm.
Complementing the laid-back pace and picturesque landscape of a wintery Mornington Peninsula, we’ve lined up a few favorite experiences to showcase the region’s diverse terroir and to educate the public about wine and wine tasting in an unpretentious environment.

Red Hill Estate wines are truly exceptional, with grapes sourced from Cool Climate wine regions where different cool climates mix with volcanic and sedimentary soils to create wines that are wonderfully textured, complex and elegantly understated.
