1. Quealy Winemakers
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 48 reviews
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.

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.

The Balbirooroo Wetlands are full of wonderful birds that you can see and hear. Balbirooroo (a Koori word meaning ‘ibis’). Here is a little history of it how it came about: In 1993, the Balnarring Primary School community, together with local environmental groups, set out to develop a wetlands and woodlands on what was virtually 9 hectares of grazing land, adjacent to the school. They could see the huge potential for something very special! The vision was to create a thriving habitat for indigenous plants, animals and birds which would become an integral part of the school curriculum and a valuable natural resource for the community. Hence, the school was clever eough to put in some bird hides as well as some interpretive information boards along the tracks. This gives you an idea of what you're seeing in regards to the flora and fauna. I've always found this short walk a quiet and peaceful place to stroll through and being just under one kilometre (2 kms return), it's an easy one hour activity. The carpark is a good size and includes a sheltered picnic area. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Please take out your own rubbish.

Had a 2 year old birthday party here and it was easy, fun, and the staff were genuinely just lovely people that want you and your family to enjoy themselves. They’ve created a great environment for the kids so they can essentially run free, explore, play with animals, etc. All the kids had such a fun time, really great way to spend the morning. Highly recommend for a fun activity with the kids.
