Looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply treat yourself to a relaxing day out with friends? Want to do something different for a corporate event? Our Mornington Peninsula Wine Tours let you leisurely explore the region’s beautiful landscapes, as you visit and sample from a range of world-class wineries.

The Mornington Peninsula produces a wide range of quality wines. It is renowned for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as pioneering Pinot Gris/Grigio in Australia. Set between two bays - Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay - this cool climate region features windswept hills of rich, red volcanic soils that rise up to 300 metres above sea level. It is on the slopes of these hills that grow grapes of outstanding fruit flavours, with high natural acidity and fine tannins, resulting in excellent vintages. 

Our Red Hill winery tours will take you on a memorable day out, where you will visit boutique and award-winning vineyards and cellar doors. We also offer fully customised Corporate wine tour packages. Or if all you require is a Corporate or Private transfer to some of the region's most notable wineries such as Point Leo Estate or the Jackalope Winery, we can arrange that for you, so you can leave the driving to us and relax, enjoy and indulge.

Food and wine pairing at Red Hill Estate can be added to any of our winery tour packages for an additional fee of $40.00.
