About this tour
A self-guided wine tour of the Mornington Peninsula's vineyards, seven hours from Melbourne. You choose which four wineries to visit from a set timetable, hop on and off an air-conditioned shuttle between stops, and decide your own pace. Wine tastings aren't included—you book and pay separately at each venue—so you're free to skip pricey spots or find your favourites without committing to a fixed itinerary.
Highlights
- Choose your own four winery stops from provided timetable
- Air-conditioned shuttle with audio guide app commentary
- Complimentary bottled water and cooler storage
- Book tastings independently at each venue
- Flexible pacing — no fixed schedule between stops
- Maximum seven people per group for intimate feel
- Just one hour from Melbourne CBD
What to expect
You'll board the shuttle at the starting point and receive your timetable showing winery locations and service times. From there, you plan your own route: pick four venues you want to visit, hop off at each one for as long as you like (typically a few hours per stop), then catch the next scheduled shuttle to your next destination. The vehicle driver and staff offer venue recommendations if you're unsure where to go, and the audio guide fills in background on the region.
Between stops you'll travel through the peninsula's wine country with light commentary. The day wraps when you've completed your four stops or reached the end of service hours. You handle all winery bookings and tasting payments directly—there's no bundled package, so costs depend entirely on what you choose to do.

Good to know
This suits independent travellers and small groups (max seven people) who want flexibility over a rigid tour schedule, and wine enthusiasts willing to research and book tastings ahead. It's not suitable for anyone under 18. The main practical catch: tastings cost extra and some venues require advance bookings, so you need to plan ahead—don't expect to turn up and taste freely. You're responsible for your own bookings; staff will advise but won't book for you. The seven-hour window limits you to four stops realistically, so pick carefully. No children allowed. Service animals are welcome. Physical fitness isn't a barrier. Public transport is nearby if needed.
