11.00 A.M | Wine Tastings at Kerri Greens Winery
Our first stop is Kerri Greens Wines, a philosophy entrenched in the vines, as the winemaker-viticulturist dyad manage three vineyard sites across the Mornington Peninsula using sustainable and organic practices.
Off the vine, the winemaking follows a similar line. Additions are kept to a minimum and wild yeast is left to spontaneously start fermentation, allowing the unique biology of the vineyard and season to play it’s part. There is no rush to bottle and where possible it takes place without fining or filtration.
The cellar door offers a relaxed tasting experience with bring your own picnics, a large expanse of lawns, and panoramic views of the valley below.
12:00 P.M | Wine Tastings at Fenian Wines
Our 2nd stop is Feninan Wines, a winery that specializes in Estate grown Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, what the Mornington Peninsula grows best!
Fenian Wines are produced to allow full expression of the character of the variety. Getting the ideal fruit and then ensuring the winemaking process is expressing the best out of that fruit. Many of their processes are based on handcraft rather than mechanisation, minimising the use of pumps, ensuring gentle processes and conserving as much character and flavour as possible.
01:00 P.M | Lunch at Red Gum BBQ
Our lunch stop for the day is Red Gum BBQ, an amazing BBQ and beer hall – featuring slow-smoked loveliness and Southern delectables and craft beer from around Victoria.
Red Gum’s guiding principals are: “Great meat comes from farmers who care about their animals. BBQ tastes better when shared with friends and family. Loving what you do shines through.”
02:30 P.M | Visit to Jimmy Rum Distillery, Jetty Road Brewery or Mornington Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery
For our 4th stop, you can choose between a visit to the Local Gin Distillery, Brewery, or Chocolaterie.
