Mornington Peninsula Weekend Away

[timnit]

Guys

My wife and I and heading away with another couple this weekend to the morning peninsula..

Its not a area I know particularly well despite living so close so am looking for your suggestions.

I am looking for a great Cellar door experience where I am broaden my knowledge base by having some meaningful conversation and asking questions.

Also we are going to the Epicurian for lunch on sunday - any suggestions for the saturday?

Thanks All!!!

My wife and I were down there in March. We only visited a couple of cellar doors but I found the people at Yabby Lake to be very helpful and interesting once they figured out we were genuinely interested. It probably also helped that we got there before the lunch rush. The view from there is lovely and the restaurant supposed to be quite good.

Organise dinner at Ten Minutes By Tractor! Great dining experience.

If you are near Red Hill, go and see David at Eldridge Estate. Excellent gamay, fine chardonnay. Also a maker of pinot noir and a 'PTG' blend of pinot and gamay which is really good drinking. A pretty spot too.

Hi Tim,

You be down my neck of the woods then.

Lunch Saturday choices could be Yabby Lake as already stated, need to book. Foxeys Hangout is possibly the best for a great atmosphere lunch, can't book. Most of the decent restaurants would be booked out already for dinner Saturday night (Paringa Estate, Ten Minutes, Johnny Ripe, Port Phillip), you could try them for lunch.
Port Phillip Estate is a cellar door worthwhile as you get those wines and Kooyong Estate in one go.
David at Eldridge is a great bloke, as is Nat White at Main Ridge Estate (quite the local legend).

Then you can come have a coffee with me on Sunday down the road from Epicurean (Cellar & Pantry - shameless plug).
