What to expect
You'll be collected by coach and travel to the Mornington Peninsula wine region. The day splits between two or three stops: your guide will take you to a winery for a tasting session, then move to your lunch venue—either Rare Hare or Merricks General Wine Store—where you'll sit down to a two-course meal with a glass of wine included. A second premium tasting follows, with time woven in for scenic stops of the region. The guide will provide context on the wines, producers and local stories throughout.
