Quealy Winemakers

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.

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.

Rahona Valley is boutique vineyard located in hidden valley in Red Hill South.

Experienced surfers flock to Gunamatta Beach, while rockpools at Sorrento Ocean Beach, close to town, are perfect for families. Dip into the excellent surf beaches of the Mornington Peninsula National Park. Tackle the waves of Gunnamatta, Flinders, Portsea and Rye ocean beaches.

A great spot at the southern tip of the mornington peninsula area. From the beaches of Sorrento/Portsea to the pretty cape schanck area with its lighthouse it has a bit of everything. add in wildlife areas such as Greens Bush with its abundant wallabies and kangaroos or the beaches of fingal/gunnamatta or flinders, you will find reasons to return time and time again.

We visited the Park today and participated in the Keeper for a Day program. This was a fantastic day out and we visited all enclosures as well as behind the scenes areas. Hayley was the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable host and made sure that we both thoroughly enjoyed the day. All the keepers were amazing and eager to share their enthusiasm with us. We both felt extremely welcome and will return, this is the perfect place to bring visitors to get an up-close and personal experience with our native fauna,

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

Thirteen family members went to the Enchanted Adventure Garden for a 9th birthday party. We arrived early & walked around the beautiful manicured gardens. The six youngest ones then did tree surfing- this was a fantastic adventure giving them confidence & good self esteem as well as teaching them responsibility & resilience. After lunch we all had great fun on the tube slides, found our way through the different mazes including the 3D spooky maze & finished with the canopy walk. All in all a wonderful family outing!
