Quealy Winery Cellar Door takes you right into the heart of the winery, tasting amidst the barrels and Tuscan terracotta amphora. Kathleen and Kevin first arrived on the Mornington Peninsula in 1988 and have spent the subsequent years cultivating a reputation for single vineyard expressions of regional heroes Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, sourced from some of the oldest and finest sites on the Peninsula. Quealy's experience of Italian wine-making tradition has inspired Secco Splendido, Pobblebonk, Pinot Grigio and little-grown Friulano variety. Open daily, come and taste with our experienced team including resident cellar paw, Ninja.
From the moment we arrived we had a very warm welcome. The tasting room with the terracotta vats had a fabulous atmosphere and I loved the smell of the fermentation. The wine tasting was a wonderful experience. We learnt a lot about winemaking and about these particular wines and the grapes and the climate they are grown in. Our group bought an amount of the various wines. As we open them we remember the special afternoon spent at your magnificent winery and the fun we had with your exceptional staff. I can’t wait to return with more friends! Thank you for making my trip to Victoria so worthwhile. And thank you for kindly posting my shawl to me.

Myrtaceae is a small family run winery. Their wines are all quite lovely, and they were accompanied by a charcuterie board that was very tasty and a perfect complement to the wine. One of the owners served us - she was a warm and welcoming host and very kindly explained the background and history of the winery and the area. The surrounding vines and garden present a peaceful setting that made our experience very easy to enjoy. I would very much recommend Myrtaceae.

If you want to feel like 'à la maison' (at home ) and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere, head to this boutique winery, in Red Hill. Mont Rouge means 'Red Hill' in French and was previously called Darling Park. The 4 acre vineyard consists of Pinot noir, Pino Gris and Chardonnay and has 30 years of history. I tasted the 2018 Pinot noir with strawberry flavours, not too light, not too strong and perfect to go along with my lunch.Gourmet Barbecue lunch on weekends and public holidays with generous options of meat for $25 .Tasting for a reasonable $5. Nice and cosy atmosphere with 2 welcoming hosts, Brendon and Jenny. This is what you call a hidden gem.

Our Cellar Door is open the first weekend of every month and by appointment. Please check google listing for open days/ hours. Rahona Valley is boutique vineyard located in hidden valley in Red Hill South. Travel along a road less travelled to the the 25 year old vineyard in a protected valley in Red Hill South, where vines are grown on fertile, rich red basalt soil producing some of the best wines on the Mornington Peninsula. Come say hello to Toby and Dianne at this small, boutique vineyard with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. We don’t aim to make everything. We don’t aim to be everywhere. We don't aim to be open everyday. But from the wine to the experience and everything in between, we do aim to be seriously good.
It’s the holy grail of wine tastings, off the beaten track, unassuming, amazing location and facilities. The wines, the wines, best bubbles on the Peninsula, serious table wines. Did I say gorgeous setting? Amazing experience, go there! Period.

We found this winery as we were driving past, we were the only ones there. The staff were super friendly, happy for us to do a tasting $10 a head, not pushy and didn’t hover. Told us about the property and poured first 2 wines then let us enjoy them and then he came back with the next two reds. Gardens are also amazing. Just be mindful of the weather as the road in is a small dirt road and could be tricky when raining

Brian the curator was a great story teller. The tour lasted for 2 hours and we learnt a lot about Australian navy history with some very rare artefacts, like the German flag captured in PNG. Never heard of this before. You will have to call in a couple of days before you plan to visit as this is an operational navy base and you will need to be escorted.
