Plunge Mornington Peninsula Wine Tours delve deeper and treat VIP visitors to the rich bounty of the region, creating most memorable experiences. After 20 years writing about and marketing Peninsula wines, I introduce guests to the very best the region has to offer. Feast on regional produce, enjoy local treats by the ocean, taste wine in the barrel room with the winemaker, fetch fresh mussels from the pier and meet the chef who'll prepare them for you. Together, we visit the region's best wineries and dine at the finest restaurants. During Harvest, we step it up a notch with an exclusive Winemaker for a Day Tour; guests experience all the bubble crack and pop of vintage, roll up the sleeves and learn all about the art of winemaking. See www.mpplunge.com.au for details.
